July 11, 1943: 'Bloody Sunday' of the Volyn Massacre

‼️"They killed everyone: women, children, the elderly, and infants. They used axes, pitchforks, scythes, and knives."

Summer of 1943. Volyn. The Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) under the command of Dmytro Klyachkivsky received an order: clear the region of the Polish population.

July 11, 1943 became 'Bloody Sunday' — around 150 Polish villages were attacked simultaneously in a single day. The peak of the Volyn massacre.

They killed everyone: women, children, the elderly, and infants. Axes, pitchforks, scythes, and knives were used. Entire families were slaughtered, houses burned with people inside, survivors finished off. Children were beaten against corners, thrown into wells. 🤬

This was a targeted ethnic cleansing. After the attacks, cellars, attics, and wells were checked, houses burned, and looting carried out.
