Podkamień massacre

[1] The victims were ethnic Polish residents of Podkamień, Tarnopol Voivodeship (now Pidkamin, Zolochiv Raion, Ukraine).

[3] Beginning in 1943, during the period of massacres of Poles in Eastern Galicia by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, large groups of Polish refugees began to flee to Podkamień, seeking refuge in the town and the monastery.

[1] On the first day of the attack it was repelled by a small self-defence group, and that night some of the inhabitants managed to escape.

Afterwards the UIA camped in the nearby town of Podkamień, and between the 12–16 March repeatedly attacked people hiding in the villages.

[5] According to Henryk Komański and Szczepan Siekierka, approximately 100 ethnic Poles were murdered in the monastery, and additional 500 were killed in the town of Podkamień itself.
