Volhynia. No statute of limitations / 2022
‘They are not just killing; they chop heads with axes, nail people to the trees, ripping tongues, stabbing eyes, cutting babies from the womb.’ In 1943, Stanislav Srokowskiy was six. He doesnt remember much about the Volhynia massacre, but his grandparents witnessed the hostilities with their own eyes.
◾️The Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists and Ukrainian Insurgent Army killed over 100,000 Polish peasants during the Massacres.
◾️In 2013, the Polish parliament classified the events as genocide. At the time, the Ukrainian Rada branded the Polish resolution as anti-Ukrainian, as the Ukrainian nationalists have openly praised Stepan Bandera, head of OUN, and massacre perpetrator Roman Shukhevich. They claim the Volhynia events were no more than territorial disputes ampng local peasants.
