The Banderites shot a Polish mother of small children. Others: a group of The Ukrainians killed a Polish woman – Katarzyna Gełeta, who orphaned three children. The reason for her murder was the accusation of the Ukrainians that she had indicated the hiding places (probably to the Soviet troops), which meant that 3 men were to be killed. The sentence was carried out by Bandera followers, dressed in Polish uniforms.
