On 28 February 1944 he bloodyly enrolled in the past of Poland.
On that day 2 crimes were committed at the 2 ends of Tarnopolskie Voivodeship. The first of them is liable for Ukrainian mercenaries from SS regiments, composed of volunteers to the 14th SS Galizien Division. In a barbaric way, they murdered almost 1,000 Polish inhabitants of Huta Pieniacka village, located close the town of Brody.
The second crime is liable for members of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and Ukrainian Insurgency Army, who, supported by Ukrainian peasants from close villages, mostly from Zadarów, invaded the Polish Koroscitatyn close Monastervok on the night of 28 to 29 February. More than 150 people were murdered at the time.
On 28 February, precisely on the 80th anniversary of the crime, authoritative celebrations will be held in Warsaw with Mass in the Polish Army Field Cathedral and the laying of flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

After 74 years, the voice of the Polish authorities on the genocide of Ukrainian criminals sounded so strong for the first time!
Participants of the 74th anniversary of the crime in Pieniacka Huta
Ladies and gentlemen!
You meet present at a place that 74 years ago – in 1 day – from a large, vibrant village was turned into a dead wasteland. The genocide crime committed here by Ukrainian soldiers and policemen on the service of the Nazi 3rd German Reich and Ukrainian nationalists brought demolition to about a 1000 people: Polish residents of the Pianiacka Huta and the Jews and refugees they hide from another towns of Volynia and Podola.
On behalf of the State and the Polish people present I bow my head as a tribute to the martyrdom of the victims. Their innocent death, only due to the fact that they were Poles, scares the horrors of cruelty.
Growing ruins their homes and collective graves, but the memory of the slaughter continues and is inactive a painful wound in the Polish soul. We must not forget her, we must not turn our eyes on her. We, modern Poles, owe it to our murdered people. But it is besides our work to the posterity: remember and learn.
The memory of the slaughter done here besides carries a commitment to the future based on a solid foundation of truth, not on falsehood, oblivion, denial. We Poles want good relations with Ukrainians. We believe that our nations request each another to make both our countries strong and safe. And that is why we besides request to remember and the fact about what happened here on February 28, 1944 – so that nothing like this always happens again and that our relationships are based on strong foundations and common trust.

On that day 2 crimes were committed at the 2 ends of Tarnopolskie Voivodeship. The first of them is liable for Ukrainian mercenaries from SS regiments, composed of volunteers to the 14th SS Galizien Division. In a barbaric way, they murdered almost 1,000 Polish inhabitants of Huta Pieniacka village, located close the town of Brody. The village was razed to the ground. The Roman Catholic Church was besides destroyed. present this village is not on the map, there are only chasche and empty fields. And among them a monument, which can only be reached by a dirt road. fewer survivors were driven out. Their descendants, who live in Strzelin, Wołów, Babice k. Głubczyc and Wschów, I organize anniversary celebrations all year on my own initiative.
The second crime is liable for members of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and Ukrainian Insurgency Army, who were supported by Ukrainian peasants from close villages, mainly from Zadarów, attacked on the night of 28th to 29th February in the quiet Polish village Koroscatyn k. Monasterwist. More than 150 people were murdered at the time. The action was led by a Greek Catholic priest with his daughter. The survivors were besides driven out, and in 1945 they were taken out in cattle wagons in Lower Silesia. The village exists, but in order to cover the traces of Poles, its name was changed to Krynica.
My grandma and my father, who lived in the close settlement of Dębowice, witnessed these events. Father described this in item in his memoirs "The Chronicle of Life". I dedicated this crime to the chapter entitled "The demolition of the Coroscatin" in the book "The Silenced Genocide in the Kresach". I besides dedicated 3 commemorative plaques with the same content from Radnovowice close Krakow and in Lviv Silesia and close Pławna.
On the another hand, scattered descendants founded a monument in the cemetery in Korośćatin, which was unveiled on September 3, 2011.

He does not want to [that] remember Greek Catholic Church, and any Ukrainian number representatives in Poland deny everything, insulting the memory of the murdered Poles, Armenians, Jews and those righteous Ukrainians who did not support Stepan Bandera's possessed ideology.
