"I lay down on the floor with my head down, and my little cousin, 9 years old, lay down on my right side. They started shooting, but I wasn’t shot. They thought I was dead but when the little girl coughed, they came with an ax and started chopping".

Genia survived the second assault, too, still pretending to be dead.

"They took us to this mass grave and they threw all the people into it and I was on top".

Genia Melzer crawled out from among the bodies and ran to the woods near Podhajce, where Julian Bilecki found her covered with blood and took her in.
