Ukraine - Poland: Let's remember Kaczynski's wisdom
On March 3, while in Poland, I visited the village of Pawlokoma, where along with hundreds of Ukrainians I honored the memory of 366 Ukrainian peasants who were on this day in 1945 brutally slaughtered by a unit of Polish Armia Krajowa. Meanwhile, March 10 marks another tragic anniversary. In 1944, units of the Armia Krajowa along with Bataliony Chlopskie [Polish Farmers' Battalions] under the command of Stanislav Basaj slew residents of the Ukrainian village of Sagryn and several smaller settlements in the area. The death toll makes this crime even more horrendous than that committed in Pawlokoma. According to various estimates, some 800 to 1,300 Ukrainians were murdered, with 70% of them women and children.
