  4. haha No one is naked. That is me in my peach floral polish dress and my distant cousin. I think it's interesting that we exist because they were able to escape the massacre, barely. The village is in Southeast Poland. It pertains to WWII. The Poles invaded small villages along the border that were supposedly sympathizing with Ukraine. I think the following was Operation Vistula was 2 years later.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Vistula
