Bukowsko

Bukowsko (Polish: [buˈkɔfskɔ]) is a village in Sanok County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, Poland.

It is home to the Uniwersytet Ludowy, opened in 2005, which contains many artworks and effects of the folk handworks inspiration.

The region then became a site of contention between Poland, Kievan Rus and Hungary starting in at least the 9th century.

At that time the area (including west and east of Subcarpathian Voivodship) was known as Galicia.

In the spring of 1942, 804 Jews of Bukowsko and over 300 of the surrounding villages were put into a ghetto.

An April 1946 New York Times article reported that on 4 April 1946, 389 of the 400 buildings in the village were burned down and 3,000 people were made homeless by a force of Ukrainian nationalists and German deserters operating in the area who had a few days earlier demanded, but not received, a payment of 1 million złoty.

The village of Bukowsko lies in a valley of the Sanoczek river in southeastern Poland.
