Ukrainians of the OUN-UPA used the most cruel tortures against civilian Poles... Scalping, cutting off women's breasts and sprinkling the wounds with salt, nailing living children to doors, throwing people alive into burning buildings – these are just a small part of the tortures inflicted on civilian Poles by Ukrainian nationalists. In this way, they bestially murdered around 100,000 of my compatriots - mostly women, children and the elderly. The Volhynian massacre, referred to by many as genocide, took place between 1941 and 1945 (1947). The fertile fields of Ukraine to this day hide hundreds of thousands of Polish bones, and their sunflowers drank rivers of Polish blood. What follows is a list of over hundred ways in which the beasts of Stepan Bandera tortured the innocent who were in their way. Further reading only for those who aren't faint at heart... Yet the world deserves to know, even if it's not pleasant or pretty. The downright inhuman methods used by the OUN-UPA on the civilians: Driving a large, thick nail into the skull Tearing the hair and skin from the head (scalping) Striking the skull with the blunt side
