Free of inscriptions and stamps. NOT ex-library. -- This work entitled "Deceptive Memoirs" by Stanislaw Szeremeta covers a time of intense extermination operations under the red-black banner of the fascist Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and its armed force, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). The discribed period occurred during the end of World War II between 1944 and 1945. It was then, after the butchery in Volhynia that fire was set to hamlets in Eastern Poland while the UPA began their "ethnic purge". The historical villain in Szeremeta's book is the OUN/UPA squad leader Dmytro Kupiak, resident of Toronto, Canada. His terrifying character roused such grimness that even many Ukrainians called him a "hell-cat', and hoped to see him on the gallows. The most terrifying formations of OUN/UPA were their fighting squads. They would strike mercilessly, even at their own disloyal Ukrainians who protested against the crimes committed on defenseless Polish civilians. The book is based upon the Author's own experience and reflections from his cousin Weronika Szeremeta-Furmanowicz who narrowly escaped Kupiak's squad. It also draws from "Rozplata" ("Squaring up") published by the Lvov Kamieniar printing house in 1970 recalling a thorough report of the lawsuit against members of Kupiak's gang held at Krasne in 1969. Alas, the proceeding commenced in absence of Kupiak. --- Translated from the Polish, the original edition was first published in 2000 under the title "Watazka: jego zbrodnie i zaklamane wspomnienia".
