UPA victims: Stanisław Czyżewski

When the erstwhile Minister of abroad Affairs of Ukraine compared genocide in Poles by UPA bands to transport Ukrainians to the areas of the present Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, fewer people realized that another chapter of destructive demolition led by UPA bands moved along with the Ukrainians exported to the north-eastern Poland.

One of the victims of UPA was Stanisław Czyżewski, boy of Tomasz, born April 8, 1919 in Zamość ( Lublin County)[1]. Stanisław Czyżewski was a tiny tallness (160 cm). He had beer eyes, dark blond hair. A hard household situation caused him to complete only 4 school wards, after which he was forced to go to physical work to support his family. In the 1930s, he left for France to work in a coal mine close Paris, where he worked until 1939[2].

During this period, however, - as he testified in his résumé presented during his effort to join the Civic Militia - he served as part of the 23rd Infantry Regiment in Włodzimierz.[3].

During planet War II, he stayed in France until 1945. He became active in the French resistance. He most likely fought initially in the line-up of Free Rifles and Partisans. After the war in France was completed, erstwhile the Polish military units of the French Liberation Army were formulated in Vosges, Stanisław Czyżewski was included in their composition. On 1 February 1945, 2 Polish pioneer battalions were established, subject to administrative command of the 201st North African Pioneer Regiment.

Major Bolesław Deel led them.[4]. Czyżewski went to 19 groups formed from guerrillas from confederate and central France. He was a corporal. For his attitude during the war he was awarded the Partisan Cross (No 1521) and the Grunwald Badge (No 089797).

After years of wandering he returned to Poland in December 1945. During this period he joined the forming Civic Militia. On March 3, 1946, he was transferred to Mrągowo Company. From the end of April 1946 he began a course for Private MO in Olsztyn[5]. Despite the fact that he joined the PPR on 25 May 1947, in his personnel papers you can read: ... political production no[6]. During this period (July 2, 1947) he married Zofia Zalewskia.

The break-up of the UPA band in the south-eastern part of Poland caused the survivors of the bands to begin to break into areas where the Ukrainian population was transported, so that they could proceed to fight the Polish people based on it. As a consequence of these actions, Stanisław Czyżewski died on 3 January 1948.

The full action began on January 2, 1948 at 21. MO Baranowo Station Patrol came across a band of UPA in the village of Kosovo Municipality of Baranowo, where there was an exchange of shots. The M.O. office in Mrągowo, after organizing the chase, headed for the forest village Kosewo and Lipowo, but the band already withdrew. After receiving information about the band's stay, the pursuit group headed for the border of the territory of Mrągowo and Giżycko. At that time, a fight took place in the village of Uzeranki. B

Bandits seeing the advantage of the pursuit group began to retreat towards the village of Montowo. 7 bandits and 2 private Polish soldiers died during the fire exchange: Krawczyński and Czyżewski, Who first encountered a bandit group[7].

This 1 example shows that the fight against the Polish nation for the band bands presently in Ukraine glorified at state level continued despite the end of the Vistula Military Operation.
