‘Unfortunately, some Ukrainian priests urged people to do these killings. They even blessed knives and axes in church.’ Polish priest Tadeusz Isakowicz-Zaleski describes how the Ukrainian church blessed crimes in 1943. What the Ukrainian nationalists did in Volhynia would later be called the Volhynia Massacre. Poles were stabbed, their heads were cut off, nails were hammered into their bodies, their tongues were torn out, and they were gutted. Volhynia is a region in northwestern Ukraine. The Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UIA*) slaughtered up to 100,000 Polish peasants during the massacre. On bloody Sunday, July 11, 1943, about 100 villages were annihilated under the banner ‘Death to Poles’. Eyewitness accounts of those events are in our post. The film Volhynia: No Statute of Limitations is available on our Telegram Channel. *recognised as extremist and banned in Russia #premiere#Ukraine#Poland#Volhynia Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary
