Hello, Does anybody have any information about the massacre that happened in village Dobra, near Sieniawa (currently Podcarpatian Voivodenship, formerly Galicia) on January 16th, 1946? According to Wikipedia link over 30 inhabitants of Dobra were killed by "Wolyniak" and his people. Also, are there any lists of people that were forcefully relocated during Akcja Wisla (Operation Vistula) during the years of 1945-1947? Thank you all Andrew
Hi Andrew The topic of postwar violence, atrocities, and reprisals will invariably be discussed in an emotional and passionate manner because these events are still much too close to us. A dispassionate and scholarly approach is difficult to maintain when one has lost family members and neighbors during the war and in its aftermath or has watched witnesses cry when such events are brought to mind. Perhaps it is better not to step foot here. "Wolyniak" was a pseudonym used by Jozef Zadzierski (1923-1946), a member of the partisan group NOW. I don't know of such lists being available to researchers although they probably exist in the Polish Archives in Warsaw.
