Dear Mr. Skulski:
The significance of the article is vested in the fact that the
article in question is part of A Forgotten Odyssey's 'Historical
Newspaper Archives.' It did appear in a Canadian source on
September 22, 1939. As an archived 1939 article, it is not subject
to revision in 2004. Of course, people are free to have their own
opinions and views on the matter.
Moreover, the sentence you have quoted states: "The Ukrainians took
possession of Lwow, Stryj and Stanislawow, reports reaching the
frontier said, and for a time set up their own government." The
sentence does not state whether or not the Ukrainians took
possession of the mentioned cities. It merely states that reports
reaching the frontier said so. As ever, people's perspectives
differ.
The article should stay. One does not remove an article because of
a debatable disagreement over a sentence.
Cordially,
Halina T.

On A Forgotten Odyssey site there is a Link to Kresy (item 4)
from
the Newspaper-The Holocaust, what appears to be a copy of an
article
in the "Daily Colonist" of Victoria, Canada, titled "Murderous
Bands
of Ukrainian Terrorists Slay Polish Refugees", dated Sept.21,1939.
In the last paragraph it states "The Ukrainians took possesion
of
Lwow,Stryj and Stanislawow,reports reaching the frontier said, and
for a time set up their own government."
I was born and lived my first 20 years in Stryj, and was there
during
September 1939. >.....> In my opinion, it is a gross mis-
information and should not be
disseminated on A Forgotten Odyssey.
