date:14 July 2026 Editor: Anna
July 12 is the Day of the conflict and Martyrdom of Polish Villages. It is the Day of Memory of the Martyrs of Polish Villages in Volyn and in east Małopolska of the Second Republic of Poland - genocides of Polish children, women, old people, victims of the savage depolonization of thousands of Polish villages, made by Darwinist believers, racist ideology OFUN UPA.
It is simply a day of remembrance of the Polish Village Fight, in which self-defense facilities specified as Zasmyki were created.
"In September 1943, I was 3 years old, and the guerrillas already took us out of our property under the fire of the banders. With crying and fear, a column of 40 cartmen moved towards Zamyk - sentenced to death or survival. In the forest, the banders took us in three-way fire, who drove consecutive through the survivor who turned was murdered.

So fortunately we reached Groszówka, where many people gathered from surrounding villages, which were burned and the inhabitants were slaughtered. Everyone was hurt, bloody, children without parents were crying – in 1 word gehenna. From the Castle, we saw only the meadows of burning villages last night. frequently day or night they came to us barefoot in shirts, injured elders and children telling us how people were massacred, and how they were saved. Those who have survived inactive have a fear in themselves, and nightmare dreams in the night are wreaking flesh" - a fragment of the memories of Jan Wiernik.
"The day 12 July 1943 was windless, sunny and silent. Bands of UPA have continued the murders in Volyn since early morning. Smoke columns reached tremendous heights, not dispelled by the wind. All of this took place just a twelve kilometres from our place of residence, i.e. from Nowy Dwór. So the fire and death approached Radovich.
During specified a Apocalypse, thirteen desperate people marched to Zasmyk with a weapon in hand, in broad daylight, in front of fierce nationalists, waiting only for a signal to throw themselves into murder, looting and burning houses. present there is no uncertainty that thanks to the heroism of this youth, who first took possession of the weapon, the reversed full demolition of Polish people and many another villages, and Zasmyki became a place of hope and endurance for thousands of people sentenced by the CNS - UPA to full extermination.
The march of the Polish armed group, which insures respective families besides going to Zasmyk, caused a dull amazement of the Ukrainians, accustomed to watching and admiring only their obstinate striltivs, savages of hatred and murders of defenseless people.
These were the desperate ones: Lieutenant Henryk Nadratowski "Znicz" -dca, Mieczysław Bednarek "Mantel", Tadeusz Golik "Gwiazda, Wacław Rakowski "Wicher", Stanisław Romankiewicz "Zając", Mieczysław Romankiewicz "Sama", Zygmunt Romankiewicz "Brzoza", Jan Sobczyk "Buzdigan", Henryk Sobczyk "Lisek" and Antonina Lesniewska "Wierna", Jadwiga Lesniewska "Kozaczek", Zenon Leśniewski "Gałazka" and Antoni Romankiewicz, father of 3 sons. The group was accompanied by respective carts with families.
... Since March 1943, the CNS-UPA has intensified the extermination of the Polish population, which is threatened by full destruction. Weak self-defense falls under UPA. In order to save the population from the demolition of the Home Army Command, they commission the preparation of self-defense in the Zasmyki, creating a disciplined self-defense unit from escaped survivors. The squad is determined to fight to the death to save from the demolition of families, neighbors, compatriots. In the ward there are those who witnessed the “hell”, massacres carried out on their loved ones, frequently young boys and girls whose homes were burned, villages razed to the ground. They leave Zasmyków for the Polish population to the village not yet captured by UPA bandits, after the population hiding in swamps, forests, lockers. They are not always able to make it, they are frequently attacked during evacuation of Poles to Zasmyk. In February 1944, the “Jastrząb” and “Sokół” bars form the core of the “Gromada” group, which together with the “Osnow” group formed the legendary 27 Volhyńska Division of National Army Infantry.
