Crimes committed by Ukrainians from the Organizations of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B) and Ukrainian Insurgency Army (UPA) on the Polish population from 1939 to 1947 residing in eastern, pre-war territories of the Second Republic of Poland were genocide.
As to this, no 1 in Poland should have any doubts. Let all those who effort to lie history, effort to key, redefine concepts and follow political correctness forever. Definition of genocide created by Polish judaic lawyer Rafał Lemkin, says directly: “Ludicide is simply a crime against humanity, which involves deliberately destroying all or part of ethnic, religious, racial or social groups...” Killing innocent people, just due to the fact that they were Poles, was an effort to deliberately destruct the full national group. It was genocide! But the problem present is that genocide is not over. inactive going on. It goes on due to the fact that the perpetrators keep covering their tracks, and they're impunityless.
The genocide process is divided into 3 phases. One, planning genocide. The second phase is its execution. Three, that's cover-up. but that phase 3 begins during phase 2 and lasts the longest. It can take years to cover up the traces of genocide, due to the fact that perpetrators can do anything to guarantee that the fact about crimes, the methods of killing and yet the number of victims never see the light of day. The cover-up of Ukrainian genocide on Poles continues to this day, and everything indicates that it will not be over soon. Ukrainians did everything to guarantee that the slaughter of Poles, which happened over 80 years ago, was not called genocide. That's enough. The originators, main initiators, instigators and performers of the present Ukrainian authorities surrounded the protection against responsibility, bringing them to the pedestal of past as national heroes. And what is the saddest and most scandalous, happened, with full acceptance and without the slightest opposition of the Polish authorities.
What must happen to make the fact triumph? That the fact about the savagery, about the number of victims and about the place of their burial be known by Poles? What must happen to the cry of remembrance of the victims for nameless and unknown graves being heard? Do they gotta come another time? Do the another rulers gotta come? The Ukrainians themselves gotta change? The late president of Ukraine – from Volyn – Leonid Krawczuk, he erstwhile said: “We do not hide or silence. During planet War II Ukrainian chauvinists killed about half a million Poles in the east Borders of pre-September Poland. besides for respective years after the war Polish villages burned and people died. Ukrainian chauvinism is an ulcer to the healthy body of the Ukrainian people, it is the remorse of our conscience towards the Polish people.”
What is left of his words today? Does anyone in Ukraine even remember those words? Unfortunately, he doesn't remember or want to remember. But present you see squares, streets and schools named after criminals. You can see Ukraine plunged into the madness of resurrecting and exalting the banner executioners of Poles. You can see Ukrainians marching with torches through the streets of Ukrainian cities, proudly exposing not only portraits of Bandera and another degenerates, but besides – by horror – Nazi symbolism.
The current war beyond our east border will not change anything in Ukrainian mentality. Let's not fool ourselves. Let's not tell ourselves otherwise. There will be no fresh Ukrainian heroes. People who die of Russian bullets will not become fresh authorities and function models. We would like that to happen, but it won't, due to the fact that flagism has deep into Ukrainian national consciousness. He's deep inside people's minds. We do not even realize how much the minds of young Ukrainians are poisoned by neo-bander ideology and how hard it will be to detoxify their souls.
So what can we do? What should Polish society do? Let the words, spoken by – I am not afraid to usage this phrase – a large Pole, who is unfortunately already dead, chaplain of the end environments Fr Tadeusz Isakowicz-ZaleskiThe 1 I had the chance to meet in individual will be our clue. Let his words from 2016 spoken in the Krakow Newspaper, but besides in many another places and on the occasion of many another crucial celebrations commemorating genocide, be our way, which present all Pole should follow:
"It is time to halt with the false thought that good Polish-Ukrainian relations can be built through silence. It is precisely for the sake of these accounts that the fact must be first told and, secondly, appropriate burial of victims of crime should be organised. The most painful thing about their families is that there are no graves. Thirdly, Polish-Ukrainian relations should be built so that there is no glorification of criminals as national heroes (...) It's not about imposing, it's about not being afraid to tell the truth. If the Ukrainian side has a different opinion, let us, at least us Poles, remind us what happened in the east Borders and ask for a worthy burial of our fellow countrymen, who died frequently in martyrdom there."
Time to halt lying and lying. Let's take matters into our own hands. As a society. If they don't want to do this to our country, then we should. Let us not be afraid to remind the planet of our national tragedy. Let us not be afraid to tell ignorant Poles about the drama of our countrymen and who caused them death. Who was and is guilty. Let us not be afraid to talk about the barbarism and hell that happened to Polish women and children. Let us not be afraid to talk of the courage of those who heroically defended themselves against the ax and forks of the torturers. Let us not be afraid to talk out loud about how Polish politicians commit a immense sin of omission and how they neglect to fulfil their obligations towards the nation. Let us not be afraid to yet tell the full fact about the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Her time has come. It's time to end the genocide!
