The Righteous Among Ukrainians

“Za odnoho poliaka holova do pniaka” (“for one [saved] Pole, a head to the chopping block”) - this slogan, popular among Ukrainian nationalists committing genocide in Volhynia, reminds us of the immense courage shown by those Ukrainians who, risking their lives, opposed the criminal ideology. Many of them were murdered as brutally for showing humanity as the Poles they tried to save.

The ideology of Ukrainian nationalism, built from the mid-1920s onwards, assumed the creation of an ethnically homogeneous state, detached from hundreds of years of largely peaceful coexistence of nations and faiths. “The closeness was so great that when the massacres had already begun, in some Polish villages people, contrary to the facts, refused until the very end to believe that anything bad could threaten them from their neighbours,” recalled Fr Mieczysław Albert Krąpiec from Berezowica Mała in Podolia.

Warning others of impending danger was the most common form of assistance. “Run away, because they will be killing today,” one Polish family heard from their Ukrainian neighbour. Hiding Poles in one’s own homes and farm buildings, often for many months, also required extraordinary courage. “He says [to my father]: ‘It’s so good that you’re alive.’, and he took him to the attic and kept him there for two weeks,” recalled one of the survivors.

Being hidden by Ukrainians did not always mean the end of the ordeal. In the archives of the Chief Commission for the Investigation of Crimes against the Polish Nation there is an exceptionally moving account, given in 1985, of the fate of seven-year-old Jadzia Dziekańska, who, despite severe wounds, survived for several days beside the body of her murdered mother. She was found among fields of grain by a Ukrainian family and taken to a nearby village. “In Werbcz, the village council wanted to kill Jadzia because she was a Polish child, but an unknown Ukrainian family defended her, as did a teacher, also a Ukrainian from Werbcz, who could speak fluent Polish, and who won the fight for Jadzia’s life and took her in to raise her,” recalled Franciszka and Roman Piotrowski. After the war ended, Jadzia returned to her father, who had survived.

The UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army) carried out numerous murders, including of its own comrades who refused to take part in the cruel killing of their neighbours. In order to combat “desertion”, Bandera’s followers established the Security Service of the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists), referred to as the “partisan Gestapo”, which often carried out killings of those who refused to participate in the massacres. The greatest danger, however, awaited those who provided help out of compassion for their neighbours. “Shura Sapozhnik, the prettiest girl in the village, I remember her well, her braids reached all the way to the ground. I also remember how she mourned the death of my sister Wanda together with my mother and sympathised with the Poles. She was murdered in a cruel way. The thugs tricked her into going to the forest [...] under the pretext of dressing the wounds of an injured comrade whom the ‘Lakhs [Poles] had shot’,” recalled a resident of the village of Koszów in Volhynia.

The authors of “The Book of the Righteous of the Eastern Borderlands 1939-1945”, published by the IPN, estimate that at least 1,341 Ukrainians helped Poles despite the threat of reprisals from Ukrainian nationalists. They provided shelter, warned of planned attacks, helped people escape or saved the wounded, risking their own lives and the lives of their families. According to widely varying estimates, at least several hundred of them were murdered by the Banderites (Bandera’s followers). A more precise number of victims among the Righteous is not possible to estimate, among other reasons because of the difficulty of clearly establishing the motives behind the crimes. In some cases, the killings may also have been linked to suspicions of cooperation with Soviet partisans.

Since 2019, the Righteous have been honoured with the Virtus et Fraternitas Medal, awarded by the Witold Pilecki Institute of Solidarity and Valour. So far, it has been awarded posthumously to 27 Ukrainians who helped Poles, as well as to two people who, for decades, preserved the memory of murdered Poles. The Virtus et Fraternitas Medal has also been awarded to two Czechs from Volhynia who helped Poles.

Ukraińska organizacja pozarządowa o nazwie „Myrotworeć” (Centrum Badań Oznak Przestępstw Przeciwko Bezpieczeństwu Narodowemu Ukrainy, Pokoju, Bezpieczeństwu Ludzkości i Międzynarodowemu Ładowi Prawnemu) uznała mnie za „wroga Ukrainy” i „zagrożenie dla suwerenności i integralności terytorialnej Ukrainy”.

Odpowiem temu osobliwemu towarzystwu tak:
Nadal będę robił to, co dobre i słuszne, po prostu to, co ludzkie. Będę wspierał ludzi, którzy cierpią na Ukrainie przez ruskie hordy realizujące neoimperialistyczną politykę Putina.
Jednocześnie będę nadal nazywał po imieniu ukraińskich szowinistów z UPA i OUN zbrodniarzami, którzy dokonali bestialskiego ludobójstwa na ludności cywilnej: dzieciach, kobietach i osobach starszych na Wołyniu oraz w Małopolsce Wschodniej. Ziemie te są dzisiaj integralną częścią Ukrainy. Nigdy też nie zaakceptuję kultu tych zbrodniarzy i nazywania ich „bohaterami”, ale będę jak wszyscy cywilizowani ludzie, domagał się godnego pochówku Ofiar banderyzmu: naszych rodaków i ludzi innych narodowości.

Jako wojewoda z ramienia polskiego rządu koordynowałem pomoc ukraińskim uchodźcom wojennym na Pomorzu Zachodnim udzielaną w bezprecedensowej skali przez administrację rządową i samorządową, organizacje pozarządowe oraz tysiące Polaków.

Prywatnie, niespełna dwa miesiące po wybuchu wojny, pojechałem ze znajomymi na Ukrainę z transportem pomocy humanitarnej (zdjęcie poniżej).

Nie jestem zatem wrogiem Ukrainy. Jestem natomiast wrogiem banderyzmu, kłamstw historycznych i próby przemilczenia leżących w zbiorowych mogiłach Ofiar ukraińskiego szowinizmu. Jestem także wrogiem putinowskiej Rosji. Żeby jednak to zrozumieć, niektórzy na Ukrainie musieliby stanąć w prawdzie historycznej oraz w prawdzie bieżących wydarzeń i wyleczyć się z antypolonizmu.

Zostaliście na poziomie hordy mongolskiej, jak ruscy.. jedyne co wam się podobało z zachodu to niemiecki nazizm, pasował do was. Mordowanie i nienawiść to wasza kultura.

[Radosław Bałtycki @EuronaviPL]

@PolsatNewsPL @PZgorzelskiP @MSakowska Mordowanie polskich dzieci w dziesiątkach tysięcy, torturowanie ich przed śmiercią na oczach rodziców to są metody Ukraińców
Obecnie są z tego dumni i nienawidzą nas za to że pamiętamy ich bestialstwo,

To jest cywilizacja śmierci nie cywilizacja zachodniej kultury jak u nas.

@onetpl Nasi sojusznicy ostrzegają o zagrożeniu Polski z powietrza, po czym rząd Tuska i Kosiniaka-Kamysza po cichu, bez zgody obywateli, rozdaje kluczowe, strategiczne pociski do obrony przeciwlotniczej innemu państwu.

Najwyraźniej obaj panowie mają polski interes za nic!
