Witness Eugenia Zamiara: „I was born in 1924 in Pletenice, county Przemyślany, province Tarnopolskie […] On March 24, 1944, around At 4–5 am the Bandera followers came to our house in Pletenice. They seized my father, killed him on the spot, and burned the entire farm. After the fire, I picked up my father's bones, my uncles made a small box for them and I took them by sleigh to the cemetery. My mother and I ran away to our sister in Lviv. My mother was sick and could not bear the suffering. She died a year after her father's death, but in Poland. In 1953, my brother and I found our brother in Canada. He invited me over and during this visit I met a boy from Volhynia, who was also in the Polish Army. The Soviets took his entire family to Siberia and his parents died there. The older brother, already married, was not taken away, but the Bandera followers later slaughtered the whole family with axes. The bodies of two more Poles were placed in my father's grave, and they were also burnt. So there were three victims in Pletenice: 1. Władysław Majcher, 2. N”.
