Reference. The Volyn Tragedy (in Polish historiography, Rzeź wołyńska, "Volyn Massacre") is a mutual ethnic cleansing of the Polish and Ukrainian populations carried out by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army and the Polish Home Army (Armia Krajowa) with the participation of Polish Schutzmannschaft battalions, Soviet partisans, and Ukrainian and Polish civilians in 1943 during World War II in Volyn. Tens of thousands of people were killed as a result.
