Boratycze
The local Ukrainians kidnapped a Pole who has gone missing. „In Boratycze, in the forester's lodge, lived a forestry apprentice with his wife and three children. In 1944, during the day, several armed (disguised) Bandera followers came to his house and asked him to give them wood. At first no one suspected anything bad, until the moment when the forester wanted to put on a jacket. To this, Banderites in disguise say that he should leave the jacket to his wife. After these words, the wife and children became furious and began to cry and ask for mercy. Unfortunately, the Bandera followers were unpredictable. They took him with them (they left his wife and children alive) and went with him to the forest. His wife just heard the shot. An hour later the search for his body began, but it was not found. A forestry worker is missing without a trace.”.
