National Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Genocide
July 11, Thursday
The National Day of Remembrance of the victims of the Genocide of Citizens of the Polish Republic committed by Ukrainian Nationalists is an official commemorative date in Poland, celebrated on July 11. It is not a day off. The day of July 11 was chosen because it was July 11, 1943, that became the apogee of the Massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia when armed units of Ukrainian nationalists simultaneously attacked 99 settlements inhabited by ethnic Poles.
