Massacre of Brzostowica Mała
The massacre of Brzostowica Mała occurred on September 18, 1939 at the onset of World War II in the eastern part of the Second Polish Republic. It was a mass murder of the Polish inhabitants of Brzostowica Mała (Malaya Berestovitsa) committed on the second day of the Soviet invasion of Poland. The massacre was one of a number of similar killings of ethnic Poles in many neighbouring settlements.〔 The perpetrators armed by the Soviets with assault rifles and a machine gun (but also with axes and home-made weapons),〔 were led by the delegalized Communist Party of West Belarus. The fifth column consisted of local Jews and ethnic Belarusians who launched an anti-Polish sabotage action known as the Skidel revolt on the same day in order to assist the external attack.〔Instytut Pamięci Narodowej, (PRZEGLĄD MEDIÓW ) 24 February 2005. Paragraph 28. Decision of the public prosecutor Dariusz Olszewski from the IPN branch in Białymstok. 〕 Scores of intoxicated peasants and criminal opportunists have joined the fray.
After the end of World War II and the annexation of eastern Poland by the Soviet Union the massacre was hushed up. The Skidal sabotage action (now Skidzyel’, Belarus) was turned by Soviet propaganda into a liberation movement, and mythologized.〔
==History==
The event, described in an exposé by one of the biggest national dailies Nasz Dziennik, has been investigated by the Polish Institute of National Remembrance in 2001–2005.〔 The Institute has determined that the massacre did indeed occur and fell within Poland's communist crime jurisdiction, but because all 16 witnesses cross-checked by the IPN were only second-hand, most of the details cannot be confirmed with full certainty.〔〔( PRZEGLĄD MEDIÓW - 22-24 September 2003. ) "IPN nie znalazł zabójców hrabiny Ludwiki Wołkowickiej." 〕〔(Informacja o działalności Instytutu Pamięci Narodowej–Komisji Ścigania Zbrodni przeciwko Narodowi Polskiemu w okresie 1 lipca 2002r. – 30 czerwca 2003r. Warszawa, listopad 2003 ). sygn. akt S 50/01/Zk p.52. 〕 Due to the passing of time, the only surviving eyewitness still alive in 2003 was five years old during the massacre.〔
The witnesses interviewed by the newspaper and later by the Institute, claimed that several dozen Poles (by 2003 IPN has confirmed 7 deaths by name) were massacred on that day,〔 possibly around 50. Among those killed were local officials (including teachers and post office personnel), as well as the members of the szlachta family of Wołkowicki, including Count Antoni Wołkowicki, his wife and his mother buried alive.〔 The IPN described the murders as having been carried out by village dwellers mostly from Padbahoniki.〔 The pro-Communist squads organized around the anti-Polish Skidal revolt welcomed the Soviet invasion of Poland which had taken place a day before.〔〔(Śledztwo IPN w sprawie zbrodni komunistycznej w Brzostowicy ) Gazeta.pl, 2001-10-04. 〕〔Marek Wierzbicki, (Czystki kresowe ), Wprost, 38/2002 (1034). 〕 Tens if not hundreds of such incidents took place around Grodno county, wrote IPN historian Marek Wierzbicki.〔
