Children of the Borderlands

The Pre-War Period and World War II until June 1941 in the Memories of the Residents of Łukowiec

Abstract

In the villages of Łukowiec Wiśniowski and Łukowiec Żurowski (the Stanisławów province of the Second Polish Republic), a self-defence and partisan base of the Home Army operated from 1942 to 1945. As a result, these villages became a place of refuge for several thousand people during the genocidal actions carried out by Ukrainian nationalists. The article describes the history of these villages from their inception until June 1941. Accounts of the life of the Łukowiec community are given based on the memories of their residents.

Keywords:

Łukowiec Żurowski, Łukowiec Wiśniowski, the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, the Second World War
