HOW MUCH SUFFERING CAN POLISH-CATHOLICS ENDURE....

Poland suffered so horribly through all its history. Now add this book to its suffering too! How ironic is it that Poland suffered the most in WWII, and gets the least sympathy for all its suffering. Poland only gets dissed in the American media on a continuing basis. 5 Million Polish-Catholics were murdered in WWII, by the Germans, Communists, betrayed in masses by the Jews and also the Nationalist Ukrainians... and also the media in America....

The Untold Story of Ukrainian Nationalist Genocide on Poles

Everyone has heard of the 5-6 million Jews, but who has ever heard of the genocide directed against the Poles--by Germans, Russians, and Ukrainians? The author of this book, who personally witnessed the tragic events, has written about the attempted Ukrainian Nationalist genocide directed against the rural Poles of Wolyn. Although the events occurred over 60 years ago, this book is timely if only because of the fact that Ukrainians and Ukrainian emigres, to this day, largely refuse to acknowledge the crimes of the OUN-UPA, and even falsely try to blame this evil on the Poles. Wolyn had, for centuries if not millennia, been a region of mixed Polish-Ukrainian population. Wolyn had been part of Poland for centuries, but the Ukrainian nationalists wanted it as part of a future independent Ukraine. During the German occupation of the region in WWII, the fascist OUN-UPA began a campaign of agitation and forced conscription of local Ukrainians against Poles, using terror against Ukrainians who were opposed to the genocidal policies of the so-called Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). In time, some 60,000 Wolynian Poles were murdered in the most sadistic manner. This included death by burning alive, impaling on stakes, grotesque mutilation of the body, children thrown down wells, etc. Ozarowski details the defensive measures taken by the Poles, often against overwhelming odds. He details the unsuccessful efforts at Stepanska Huta and the successful defended villages in such places as Przebraze and Zasmyki. He also discusses in great detail the 27th Wolynian Division of the AK (Polish Home Army), of which he was a part.
