„They did not spare the 15‑year‑old Julia Blus, who was considered a Pole after her mother, and mistreated her badly for her brother Andrij, who went to the UPA. First, they beat her up, then shot near the pond, where she was tormented all day, begging for a drop of water, but no one dared to give it”.
