Polish-Ukrainian historical exhumations and investigations

Overview

Historical investigations and exhumations involving Polish and Ukrainian remains are ongoing in the border regions. In the Volhynia region, the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) is conducting exhumations related to the Volhynia massacre, amid local debate regarding the historical instigators of the violence.

Further efforts include the recovery of remains in Lviv, Ukraine, where the IPN and ‘Ukraińska Pamięć’ are working to identify Polish Army soldiers who died defending the city in September 1939. Additionally, archaeological work is underway in Poland near Domatówko to investigate remains potentially linked to a prisoner of the Nazi Stutthof concentration camp.
