Sixty - eight years after the Ukrainian nationalist perpetrated slaughters of POlish inhabitants of the Wołyń parish Ostrówka in Łuck diocese on the night of 29 and 30 August 1943, their mortal remains saw the day of the church burial. After the massacre properities and posseons of the local farmers and landholders were taken over by the Ukrainian Insurrection Army, houses and farm buildings were burnt down and the villages of Ostrówka and Wola Ostrowiecka were annihilated. Until the present moment it was possible to exhume in two stages, in 1992 and 2011, most of the murdered local parishioners, whose number now amounts to more than 1000 people. Owing to enormous and longstanding commitment of a PHD Leon Popek from the Lublinian branch of the Institute of National Remembrance, whose parents originated from Ostrówki and whose about 40 family members were murdered in these pogroms, it was possible to prepare and conduct a funeral of the mortal remains of the victims on the 30th August 2011 at the old POlish cementary. It was a religious and ecumenical (Catholic and Ortodox) ceremony, and the liturgy was conducted by the diocesan bishop of Luck, Markijan Trofimiak. Among the present were the representatives of POlish and Ukrainian authorities, few of the witnesses of these events living in Poland, their families and the inhabitans of the Ukrainian viliiages in the vicinity. With hope we awaite to see the erection of the monument commemorating the victims of the tragic events, of which we ensured by the presidents of Poland and the Ukraine on the 30 August 2011 during a meeting in Jurata
