Book description:
The documents of the Volhynian crime, which are the subject of this source edition, come from the collection kept by Urszula Szumska. It is a collection of particular value because it was produced by the activists of the Eastern Territories Committee immediately after the wave of murders in Volhynia. It takes the form of testimony, most of which had been authenticated by an eyewitness’s signature or annotation of the source of the information. These documents are among the most important of all the written evidence of the Volhynian crime known to date. Thanks to them, we will be able to estimate the scale of the genocide committed by Ukrainian nationalists against the Poles living in Volhynia more accurately than before, and to restore the memory of the victims - often by name - to future generations.
