What actually Friedman said

''Ukrainian sources speak of a considarable number of ... The question is, why has only such a small number of them remained alive.''

The answer is Ранее СБ издало приказ - всех жидов неспециалистов конспиративно уничтожить, чтобы жиды и даже наши люди не знали".. (from НАН України; Інститут української археографії та джерелознавства ім. М.С.Грушевського book published in 2002)

"А потім, весною 1943 року, тисячі поліцаїв, спочатку на Волині, а потім з Галичини також, перейшли з поліції до УПА. Вони, очевидно, маючи і зброю, і певне знання і вишкіл, стали офіцерами. І вони вбивали поляків, а також усіх уцілілих євреїв. Може, не всіх – ті, які були, скажімо, лікарі, або кушніри, могли жити, принаймні, тимчасово. Решту вони вбили. А тоді зимою, у грудні 1943-го – січні-лютому 1944 року, політика щодо євреїв стала жорсткішою. Тоді тисячі євреїв ховалися в бункерах у лісах на Волині. Та й були порожні хати, що залишились від поляків. Бандерівці запрошували євреїв з бункерів, кажучи, що вже не будуть їх вбивати, мовляв, вони вже стали демократами, союзниками Англії і Америки. І вони запрошували євреїв жити в тих бувших польських хатах замість бункерів, працювати для них, і тим способом рятувати свої життя. Бандерівці вживали німецьку систему: реєстрували євреїв, які працювали в таборах примусової праці. Але для євреїв це було життя і це було краще, ніж сидіти в темних бункерах. Але були ще євреї, які не мали довіри до бандерівців, і вони мали рацію, бо переважну більшість євреїв, які працювали у цих таборах, бандерівці повбивали. Тільки одиниці зуміли втекти." by Джон-Пол Химка – професор історії в університеті Альберти, Канада 2010 Wed 30 Jun 2010

- so a strange WP conclusion and here

actually Friedman said

Kalendar Almanakh na 1957 Rik (Buenos Aires) pp. 92-97. Kalendar also features an article by Dmitry Andreyewsky (pp. 88-91), in which he states that Stella Kreuzbach went to Palestine after the war, where she was later employed as a secretary in the Foreign Ministry. Several weeks after the publication of her memoirs in the Washington Post (which the Ukrainian publication credited for first releasing the memoirs) she was mysteriously shot and killed I checked the Washington Post of that period and did not find these memoirs. At my request, Dr. NM Gelber, Jerusalem, made inquiry in the Foreign Ministry there. The reply was the Ministry never had an employee by that name and that such a case of homicide is entirely unknown. Moreover, a careful analysis of the text of the "memoirs" led us to the conclusion that the entire story is a hoax. Similarly, the Ukrainian writer B.Kordiuk labels the story "a mystification"; he states that "none of the members of the UPA" known to him "ever met her or heard of her” Kordiuk B."Pro lyudei spowncnikh samoposwiati," Suchasna Ukraina [Munich, July 20, 1958] p. 7

But WP not ....

Stella Kreuzbach story

Stella Kreuzbach story - a hoax story appeared at Ukrainian Diaspora newspaper Ukrainske Slovo Oct.10 1954 and later appeared at Nasha Meta, Toronto, Nov. 27 and Dec. 4, 1954 which presented a "memoirs" of "Jewish woman, Stella Kreuzbach". It's pretend to depict a Jew which saved by OUN-UPA. Actually Бандерівці вживали німецьку систему: вони вбивали поляків, а також усіх уцілілих євреїв. Тільки одиниці зуміли втекти

Background
In May 1941 at a meeting in Krakow the leadership of Bandera's OUN faction adopted the Instruction "Struggle and action of OUN during the war" ("Боротьба й діяльність ОУН під час війни») which outlined the plans for activities at the onset of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union and the western territories of the Ukrainian SSR. Section G of that document –"Directives for first days of the organization of the living state" "Вказівки на перші дні організації державного життя» outline activity of the Bandera followers during summer 1941    In the subsection of "Minority Policy" the OUN-B ordered: "Moskali (a derogatory terms for Russians), Poles, Jews are hostile to us must be exterminated in this struggle, especially those who would resist our regime: deport them to their own lands, importantly: destroy their intelligentsia that may be in the positions of power ... Jews must be isolated, removed from governmental positions in order to prevent sabotage, those who are deemed necessary may only work with an overseer... Jewish assimilation is not possible." The main provider at place of such policy were suggested to be a Ukrainian People's Militia - a “sole institution of  the state security”.
