War 1944 — Opatowiec, Ujście Jezuickie and victims of the commune

Added to the collection:

The drama of July 1944 and the balance of losses of the inhabitants of the commune during World War II.

On July 29, 1944, a unit of Vlasov soldiers fought with partisans in Opatowiec, and then — in retaliation for the resistance — pacified Opatowiec and the village of Ujście Jezuickie, murdering several people there. 18 inhabitants were shot in Danielinek near Dąbrowa Tarnowska.

During World War II, 68 people were killed — residents of the Gręboszów commune. The charter complements the military themes from 1914 with the drama of the occupation and liberation on the Vistula River.
