village Pozdziacz [8]
Pozdziacz, now known as Leszno is located near the Ukrainian border about 6 miles north of the border crossing town of Medyka, which is about 10 miles east of Przemysl. My mother's family was from that village, and I was able to visit the village in September of 2004 and have some photos. Pozdziacz was inhabited by ethnic Ukrainians, but after WWII, the Poles and Ukrainians fought, and the Poles won and "relocated" the inhabitants to Pomerania after ethnic Germans had been expelled. My family members were specifically relocated to the village of Debica Kuzubska. The Onion domed Greek Catholic church still exists in Pozdziacz (Leszno), and is a national protected historic site. The church is now a roman catholic church. The cemetary shows greek catholic monuments with cyrillic writing to the rear, with catholic monuments in polish to the front. The area is basically a farming area with corn and cattle the predominent agricultural pursuits.
