“On the day when the Ustaše came down into the village of Prebilovci, they came from Čapljina and Stolac. They surrounded the village, but the Ustaše from Stolac were delayed, and thus our people managed to escape from the village, while women and children remained in it. The Ustaše stayed in the village of Prebilovci for about a month. During the first two days, they gathered all the women and children, including the first group of women and children whom they brought to the elementary school. That same day, after severe torture, abuse, and mass sexual assaults of women, girls, and even underage girls, the Ustaše drove all those women and children they had gathered on that first day toward Čapljina and placed them at a place called Silos above the village of Počitelj (Pasovići). I managed to hide in a bush about one to two hundred meters from the elementary school building, and with my own eyes I saw all those Ustaše atrocities. During the following night, I escaped across the hills and reached the village of Tasovčići, where I am originally from. The Ustaše drove the first group of women and children toward Tasovčići at around 2 p.m. I saw how during that day they gathered the others as well, locking them in the elementary school and keeping them under guard around the building.”
