Paleniki

The Ukrainians murdered 19‑year‑old Weronika Suchocka. „On that horrible day, she went to her brother Józef's wife to get his clothes  […] she reached the village of Palanykie. There she fell into the hands of the torturers who did not release her alive. By beating her, they mocked the young «Laszka» and played with her. Finally, they stripped her, tied her up, sitting on a horse–drawn cart, and decorated her with green branches. and took them around the countryside as a symbol of dying Poland. all the inhabitants of Pałyniki watched it, and no one objected to the fanciful tortures inflicted by degenerate UPA bandits. Finally, they took her to the place where the dead animals were buried, there they dug a small hole, in which she was covered with earth in a standing position, up to the neck. Bloodied head with motionless face and watery eyes. she was alone in the field. Everyone left her, though the crying eyes showed, that he is still alive but unable to get out of the ground. Nobody knows when she died. The next day, the criminals covered their heads with soil, creating a tombstone of a young Polish martyr, whom good God must have included among his saints and martyrs”.

She was stopped in the village of Pałaniki by the Bandera followers, who made her a macabre spectacle. They stripped them naked, cut out their tongues, put them on a cart decorated with green branches and drove them around the village as a symbol of dying Poland. This spectacle lasted for half a day until dusk. In the evening, the girl was taken to the so–called the trench where the dead animals were buried, a hole was dug into which she was placed in a standing position up to the neck, and so she died in agony for several hours.
