Today we commemorate the Polish victims of ruthless crimes committed by Ukrainian nationalists (OUN and UPA) during World War II.
During the 1943 Volhynia Massacre, members of Ukrainian militias attacked over 100 villages and killed thousands of Polish civilians.
Mirosław Hermaszewski, a Polish pilot, astronaut/cosmonaut and the first Pole to ever go to space, was one of those who survived the Volhynia Massacre.
A unit of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) attacked his home village of Lipniki in March 1943. The mother of the future astronaut was shot by a Ukrainian while fleeing with 18-month-old Mirosław in her arms. The murderer thought he had killed her, but did not fatally wound her. Then, she fled to a neighbouring village. She was in shock and did not realize that little Mirosław was not with her. It was not until the next day that his father found him. Unfortunately, Mirosław's father was later killed by Ukrainian nationalists.
Genocidal Ukrainian nationalists from UPA are still officially honored in Ukraine.
