Horożanka
The Ukrainians murdered 24 Poles. They chopped off the fingers of 35‑year‑old Joanna Czeczel because she resisted holding on to some equipment in the apartment, they abducted her and murdered her in an unknown place. They hanged their mother and daughter–in–law, Cal, in their own pen. 19‑year‑old Stefan Złotnicki was nailed to the ground with a stake through his ears – this is how his mother found him, while the 15‑year‑old son was never found.
