Wola Sękowa
Fragment of the report of the interrogation of witness Rozalija Pituch by 'Skło', an employee of SB from the V district of 'Beskid' about the murder of a Ukrainian in Wola Sękowa by MO members:
„On April 14, 1945, MO […] from Sanok. Nowotaniec and Bukowska, 57 people, at 2 o'clock in the morning, ran into Roztoka, a hamlet of Wola Sękowa. 20 of them broke into the house of Volodymyr Pituch, whom they dragged from the bed, asking for his rifle and hitting his arms and legs with sticks. When Pituch admitted that he had a rifle buried in the forest, 5 policemen went with him to the forest. They took the rifle and shot Pituch with a pistol”.
