The IPN was represented by its Deputy President, Krzysztof Szwagrzyk, Ph.D, D.Sc.and Adam Siwek, the Director of the IPN’s Office for Commemorating the Struggle and Martyrdom. The ceremonies commemorating the victims of the Volhynia Massacre took place by the monument to the Victims of Genocide, committed by Ukrainian nationalists on the citizens of the Second Polish Republic in the south-eastern provinces of Poland in the years 1942–1947 on 11 July 2021 at 8:00 p.m. The relatives of the victims, representatives of the authorities and organizations devoted to preserving the memory of the Borderlands took part in a mass for the murdered. After the national anthem and occasional speeches, flowers were placed under the plaques with the names of places from the pre-war provinces of the Second Polish Republic where the slaughter took place. Then, the participants of the ceremony went to the monument of the 27th Volhynian Infantry Division of the Home Army, where they laid wreaths. The IPN was represented by Deputy President Krzysztof Szwagrzyk, Ph.D, D.Sc. and Adam Siwek, the Director of the IPN’s Office for Commemorating the Struggle and Martyrdom. The organizers of the ceremony were the Office for Veterans and Victims of Oppression and the Volhynia District Board of the World Union of Home Army Soldiers. *** The National Day of Remembrance of Victims of Genocide perpetrated by Ukrainian nationalists on the citizens of the Second Republic of Poland was established by virtue of the resolution of the Polish Seym of 22 July 2016 to commemorate the victims of the Volhynia Massacre and other murders carried out on citizens of the Second Polish Republic. 11 July marks the anniversary of the so-called "Bloody Sunday" of 1943, which was the culmination of the mass extermination of the Polish civilian population in Volhynia by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). On Sunday 11 July 1943, the UPA detachments carried out a coordinated attack on 99 Polish villages, mainly in the Kowel, Włodzimierz Wołyński and Horochów counties. This was the climax of the murders carried out from February 1943 until the spring of 1945.

  • Genocide in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia 1943–1944
    The Person and the Challenges Volume 3 (2013) Number 2, p. 29–49 Paweł Naleźniak The Institute of National Remembrance, Cracow, Poland Genocide in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia 1943–1944 Abstract Ukrainian nationalists tried to de-polonize the South-Eastern Borderlands by means of mass genocide and they achieved this goal to a great extent. That, however, puts them on a par with the criminal regimes of Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler. The author of this article describes the genocide of Polish inhabitants in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia committed by the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (Orhanizatsiya Ukrayins’kykh Natsionalistiv, OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (Ukrainska Povstanska Armiya, UPA) between 1943 and 1944. These events in European history are not well-known. Keywords Genocide, Volhynia and Eastern Galicia, Ukrainian Nationalists, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. From the European perspective of the history of World War II, the genocide committed by the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (Orhanizatsiya Ukrayins’kykh Natsionalistiv, OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (Ukrainska Povstanska Armiya, UPA) on the Polish inhabitants of Volhynia and Eastern Galicia between 1943 and 1944 remains a little-known event. Among the foreign historians, only Timothy Snyder mentions it in fragments in his fundamental work Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin (Skrwawione ziemie1). The enslavement at Poland after World War II restricted an in depth research only to the crimes committed by the Germans. Today, an average Polish citizen knows a lot about the extermination of the Poles and the Jews; it is also a part of the curriculum in Polish schools to organize trips to Auschwitz and other extermination camps.

  • Domesticating the German East: Nazi Propaganda and Women's Roles in the “Germanization” of the Warthegau During World Wa
    DOMESTICATING THE GERMAN EAST: NAZI PROPAGANDA AND WOMEN’S ROLES IN THE “GERMANIZATION” OF THE WARTHEGAU DURING WORLD WAR II Madeline James A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the History Department in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Konrad Jarausch Karen Auerbach Karen Hagemann © 2020 Madeline James ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Madeline James: Domesticating the German East: Nazi Propaganda And Women’s Roles in the “Germanization” of the Warthegau during World War II (Under the direction of Konrad Jarausch and Karen Auerbach) This thesis utilizes Nazi women’s propaganda to explore the relationship between Nazi gender and racial ideology, particularly in relation to the Nazi Germanization program in the Warthegau during World War II. At the heart of this study is an examination of a paradox inherent in Nazi gender ideology, which simultaneously limited and expanded “Aryan” German women’s roles in the greater German community. Far from being “returned to the home” by the Nazis in 1933, German women experienced an expanded sphere of influence both within and beyond the borders of the Reich due to their social and cultural roles as “mothers of the nation.” As “bearers of German culture,” German women came to occupy a significant role in Nazi plans to create a new “German homeland” in Eastern Europe. This female role of “domesticating” the East, opposite the perceived “male” tasks of occupation, expulsion, and resettlement, entailed cultivating and reinforcing Germanness in the Volksdeutsche (ethnic German) communities, molding them into “future masters of the German East.” This thesis therefore also examines the ways in which Reich German women utilized the notion of a distinctly female cultural sphere to stake a claim in the Germanizing mission.

Arani Introduction Outside Europe, the conflicting memories of Germans, Poles and Jews are hard to understand. They are informed by conflicts before and during the Second World War. In particular, the impact of Nazism in occupied Poland (1939–45) – including the Holocaust – is difficult to understand without considering the deceitful propaganda of Nazism that affected visual culture in a subliminal but crucial way. The aim of this chapter is to understand photographs of the Nazi occupation of Poland as visual artefacts with distinct meanings for their contemporaries in the framework of a specific historical and cultural context. I will discuss how Nazi propaganda deliberately exploited the faith in still photography as a neutral depiction of reality, and the extent of that deceit through photojournalism by the Nazi occupiers of Poland. In addition, I will outline methods through which to evaluate the reliability of photographic sources. For the purposes of reliability and validity, I use a large, randomized sample with all kinds of photographs from archives, libraries and museums in this study.

Wehrmacht – the armed forces of Nazi Germany – on countless occasions violated international conventions and showed total contempt for its foe. From the standpoint of the German propaganda, the invasion of Poland was a liberating war, aimed to rescue the German ethnic minority from the alleged oppression of the Polish state officials. Since the summer of 1939, the propaganda machine had been spreading fake news about “acts of cruelty” towards the Germans, supposedly committed by Poles. Its goal was to prepare the German society for the outbreak of the war. As a result, at the beginning of the conflict, the German soldiers were filled with anti-Polish stereotypes and aggression, which they took out on the captured POWs, as well as on the civilians. War crimes committed on soldiers of the Polish Armed Forces The German infantry committed many crimes on the Polish soldiers, due to the fact that the Polish side was perceived as a foe who violates the rules of combat by using dishonourable guerrilla tactics. Often, this was enough of a reason for the Germans to not even bother with capturing the Polish soldiers, but to shoot them on site instead.

Later, it brought many nations under Soviet domination for almost fifty years and left the world divided in the Cold War. Poland fell victim to the aggression of both totalitarian systems, German national socialism and Soviet communism. The Ribbentrop-Molotov pact entered into by the Third Reich and Soviet Union on 23 August 1939 was the prelude to a global conflict, started on 1 September 1939 when Hitler invaded Poland, the first country to demonstrate ac- tual armed resistance against the aggressor, ending the string of Berlin’s peaceful con- quests.
