Olchowiec
It just so happens that I am emotionally connected with this issue, because my parents come from the Bóbrka county in the former province. Lviv. From the stories of my deceased mother, I know that her family living in the village of Olchowiec experienced harm from the Ukrainians. Only my mother, about seven years old, and her younger sister survived the fire–attacked farm buildings and set them on fire. Her parents Władysław and Maria Noworol, brother Edward and her grandmother were murdered. The body was placed in a common grave in a nearby cemetery.
