The Banderites kidnapped and murdered Maksymilian Pańczuk. „On Christmas Eve 1944, two Bandera followers entered my grandparents' house in Putiatyn. One was very tall and the other was much shorter. They were individuals unknown to my grandparents. They ordered my grandfather Maksymilian Pańczuk to leave the house and show them the way to another village. Grandfather, wanting to protect his family  […] , went outside without any resistance, where a very large group of other torturers waited. They set off with their grandfather towards the village of Łuczyńce  […] Soon after my grandfather disappeared, his brother Filip Pańczuk decided to find him. In the field between Putiatynami and Łuczyniec, he made a macabre discovery. There were massacred, fragmented bodies of men (about 10 people) and among them he recognized the remains of his brother Maksymilian  […] After some time my grandmother Maria – wife of the murdered Maksymilian Pańczuk received a letter from the Putiatyn family from her former Polish neighbor. It said «rye is growing on your husband». From the content of this sentence, it can be assumed that the body of my grandfather and the other murdered rests in the field between Putiatyńcy and Łuczyców”.
