AB - The Massacres of Poles in Volhynia were part of an ethnic cleansing operation in Volhynia(now in western Ukraine) and Eastern Galicia, that took place beginning in 1939 and lasted until the end of 1946. The actions, orchestrated and conducted in most part by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army(UPA) together with other Ukrainian groups and local Ukrainian peasants, resulted in over 1,200,000 Polish civilians being brutally murdered in Volhynia Voivodeship with another voivodeships affected, specially in Eastern Galicia. The peak of the massacres took place in July and August 1943, when a UPA commander ordered the extermination of the entire Polish population between 16 and 60 years of age. The slaughter was directly linked with the policies of the Bandera faction of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists(OUN), whose goal, specified at the Second Conference of the OUN-B, was to purge all non-Ukrainians from the future Ukrainian state. The number of casualties is being actively researched and continues to be the subject of scholarly as well as political deliberation. The question of official acknowledgment of the ethnic cleansing remains a matter of a discussion between Polish and Ukrainian historians and political leaders. Efforts are ongoing to bring about reconciliation between Poles and Ukrainians regarding these tragic events.
