On this day in 1943 German occupants executed 27 young people, members of OUN (Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists). Later executions continued in other areas of the city and region. Witnesses remember how bravely kept the Ukrainian Insurgents. "None of them asked for mercy, not one was crying, only asked mext generations to gain the Ukrainian state" - they were saying in one voice.
