Wolice, a village near Brzeżany, almost all Poles left after World War II, settling in Racławice Śląskie. Only Anastazja Jankowska, now a 95‑year‑old woman, the last Pole in the town, stayed on the spot. For years, she has been taking care of the graves that she built herself, where she buried the victims of the attack on Wolice on March 24, 1944. At that time, her husband Antoni Kinal was among more than 40 victims.
