Orthodox feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary: probably on August 29, 1943, the UPA murdered about 300 Poles: „Last week, with a group of over 40 people from Volhynia and priest Trombone, we were in two villages: Kolonia Montówka and Soroczyn. This is now an open field. Around – apart from us – not a single living soul”.
