Have Poles blood on their hands? :) [496]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Ukrainian_minority_in_Poland
The Poles suppressed the Ukrainian educational system, reducing the number of Ukrainian-language schools from 440 to 8. Higher education became unattainable for Ukrainians in Poland. In the middle schools in Volhynia only 344 (14%) Ukrainians were enrolled in comparison to 2599 Poles (1938).
Now many "filozofs" tell me that they brought "culture" and "education" to Ukraine whereas in 17th century there was much more schools in Ukraine than either in countries with such cities as Maskau and Krakau. Two greatest "educators" - Polish and Russians completely destroyed universities and schools that existed for hundreds of years.
Of the 80 Ukrainians who qualified to continue through to tertiary studies, only 3 were accepted in 1938-1939.[12] Ukrainians were openly discriminated against in the education system. In the 1938/9 academic year only 6 Ukrainians were accepted for tertiary education[13]. Eventually, many Ukrainians were forced to seek education in institutions outside the country
Here I am simply speechless.
In 1938-1939 a number of Ukrainian libraries and reading rooms were burned by Polish mobs of misguided patriotic youth who often went unpunished by the Polish police forces[7].
Quite a knowledge-thirsty youth you had back then.
Eventually, 190 Orthodox churches were destroyed and often abandoned [6] and another 150 were transformed into Roman Catholic churches.
As was quoted above Frederik William lll said:" Your religion will be upheld". Not with Polish "Christian" policies.
A large number of Polish colonists were encouraged by the Polish government to resettle in Volhynia. This number was estimated at 300,000 for both Galicia and Volhynia by Ukrainian sources and less than 100,000 by Polish sources [11] Although the majority of the local population was Ukrainian, virtually all government official positions were assigned to Poles
Exactly famous Polish expression in action: "Waszy ulicy, naszy kamianicy" said in regards to Jews, but implemented by Poles towards Ukrainians with the covered double-facedness.

General/Marshall Pilsudski started conducting his worst repressions 9/16 - 11/30/1930, when detachments of Polish soldiers and police went thru Eastern Galician villages and cities, dragging out leading Ukrainian political/independence activists (including women) and wealthier Ukrainian landowners from their homes, and beating many to death...
How did Germans dare to BUY OUT Polish houses? They even PAID for them! Shame on Germans. In Ukraine Polish PAYMENT was in different currency, not in zloty even.
After all that and much more, there are slobbering tears about UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army) and their fight for my country's independance.
Sometimes a good long look into a mirror would be advisable for some Poles...
For some? Sometimes? Mirror should be permanently attached to the forehead and removed right before putting into the coffin, because disease is incurable as I noticed on many other forums and only grave will solve the issue.
