Baligród massacre

Ukrainian nationalists with the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) entered the village of Baligród and killed 42 members of the Polish community.

The UPA came from Stężnica and Huczwice, and surrounded the Polish population gathered in the church.

Another attack by the UPA in Baligrod was made a year later.

On 1 August 1945 at around 22:00, a subunit of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army attacked the police station.

Polish militiamen defended the station until 5:00 in the morning, with the result that the Ukrainians withdrew, but in revenge burned seven houses.
