My family comes from Pokucie, more precisely from the village of Lackie Szlacheckie, my grandmother was born in 1917 in the family of Anna and Tomasz Buniowski. In 1939, she married Antoni Zając, who was drafted into the army after the outbreak of the war and traveled through Romania and France to England, while her grandmother remained in Lack with her family. During the pogrom in 1944 her two brothers were killed; Jan Buniowski, who was only 16 at the time of his death, took refuge with his Ukrainian neighbor, who also died for helping Poles. After Janek's death, Stanisław Buniowski was shot and bled out of his wounds. After these events, my family hid in Markowce and then in Saint Józef, from where they were deported to Góralice in the Western Territories.
