Kołomyja
One of my great–grandmothers, an old woman who did not manage to escape to the forest, was first impaled by the UPA on sharpened sticks (these sticks were stuck in her ears and „was told to listen to Poland going to her”), then set on fire gasoline, and finally thrown into a well and covered with a pile of stones. Exactly the same met the family of my mother–in–law, Stanisława Wiśniewska, who came from Rivne (she was born there). The Ukrainians from the OUN–UPA burned alive not only those who did not want to leave their homes, but also those who, escaping with their children, were hiding in barns or fields of cereals. My mother–in–law survived the escape from such a burnt field of corn as a small child. Until now, when she remembers these events, tears are flowing from her eyes and her hands are trembling.
