Description

This publication deals with the Polish-Ukrainian armed conflict in the Volodymyr-Volynskyi raion (Volhynia oblast, Ukraine) under Nazi occupation. Lists of Ukrainian and Polish victims of the conflict are based on the memoirs of local villagers. The Introduction describes the historical background of the conflict provoked by the desire of the local Polish minority to re-establish Polish rule in a region inhabited predominantly by Ukrainians.
