Wiśniowiec massacres (of Poles). In the monastery of Discalced Carmelites and in the city Wiśniowiec (Vyshnivets) in February 1944 an armed group of the OUN massacred 300 Poles who had sought refuge there.[1] Most people were hiding in the monastery and in the abandoned Vyshnivets Palace. At the same time in the village took place another massacre, where 138 Poles were killed by UPA.[2]
