Jaworzno-concentration camp(communist regime Poland)
This camp was the place, where the Lemkos who were suspected of cooperating with the UPA, were held. But not only Lemkos - all known Ukrainians from Krakow were placed there.
The Warsaw Ukrainian newspaper "Nashe Slovo", #12 and 13 (1990) published a work by Yevhen Misila about this camp. The work states among other things: Ukrainians, who in 1947-48 were killed or finished off in the concentration camp of Jaworzno. As a result of research conducted over several years, so far 150 names of victims have been determined. It is known however, that many more victims have died in the camp....
The list of victims of the concentration camp in Jaworzno contains names of 144 men, 4 women, and a 15 year old boy.....
Most of the people died in November (33) and December (43) of 1947. They were tortured under indescribable means and starved, and were killed by cold and unstoppable diseases.....
Ivan Moroz, former soldier in the Polish Army, who fought from Siberia, via Lenino, all the way to Berlin was placed in the camp.
This is one reason why I wished the UPA didn't enter Poland.
