Hello.

My name is Michael Monastyrskyj. I live in Toronto, Canada. I'm interested
in the deportations because my father was born in eastern Galicia not far
from Lviv/Lwow. The Soviet authorities massacred some political prisoners
not far from my father's home village before they retreated in 1941.

The village is Pidmonastyrok/Pidmanastyryk. It is very small.
Pidbuzh was the powiat/povit centre. Pidbuzh and Pidmonastyrok are
located near Drohobych and Boryslaw.

The story my father told me is this. In 1941, before the advancing
Germans arrived and the retreating Soviets retired, my dad saw a
truck/lorry with men he recognized. They had all been arrested by
the Soviet authorities during their occupation of the area. The next
day the bodies of men were found in a ravine in one of the
neighbouring villages. That's all I know.
