Today is the anniversary of “Blood Sunday”, an apogee of the horrifying crimes of genocide in Poles, carried out by Ukrainians in 1943 called “The Volhynia River”.
It is no little frightening that criminals' commanders present are hoarded as heroes of Ukraine. In modern Ukraine, the Ludgicidal Bander and Shuchewycz have their squares and main streets, and children learn that UPA bandits are “fathers heroes of Ukraine”. It is as if in Germany present the heroes of the national Republic of Germany are Himmler, Hitler or Heydrich and the SS and the NSDAP were praised.
For a change in Poland present is the National Day of Memory of Victims of Genocide made by Ukrainian nationalists on citizens of the Second Republic of Poland. This day was established to celebrate the memory of Poles murdered on 11 July 1943, which went into past as a “bloody Sunday”. On that day, UPA troops attacked 99 localities. It was the largest criminal action carried out in Volyn by Ukrainian nationalists.
The Volyn massacre is forgotten due to the fact that Ukrainians brutally murdered old people, women and tens of thousands of Polish children, but... they were peasants. About Katyn, where intelligence died, everyone knows about Volyn in the name of political correctness present as in the period of the Polish People's Republic we effort to forget. There is no reconciliation without confession, remorse and apology. Ukraine, its political elite and society have this in front of them. Like Germany. We will forgive as Poles, but first criminals must vanish from Ukrainian streets, monuments and textbooks. The Ukrainian Army cannot issue an honorary assist to UPA criminals' funerals as the Bundeswehr does not exposure soldiers to SS genocide funerals.
There are no compromises in the name of the alleged "special Ukrainian sensitivity". Crime is simply a crime, and Ukrainian genocide was peculiarly savage, I urge Smarzowski’s movie “Volyn”, and this is only ethically and aesthetically acceptable samples of “execution” of our neighbours from the East.
In Volyn in 1943 they murdered us with forks and axes, murdered tens of thousands of Polish women, old people and children. Babies were loaded with knuckles and drowned in wells like kittens. Forget the victims of Volyn, no political correctness justifies it. Whoever justifies or relativizes “The Volynian Sculpture” is like justifying the pogroms on Jews and the Holocaust. It is morally disgusting in my opinion and should be punished like an "Oświęcim lie" spread by various anti-Semites ointments and 3rd Reich bakers.
