Abstract
The history of southeastern Poland, an area roughly corresponding to the present confines of the Rzeszow Province, has been quite eventful during the last century, which, as is always the case of Central Europe, means ethnic cleansing and ruthless persecution of minorities, including their deportation and/or wholesale extermination. Just seventy years ago this region still included a variety of ethnic groups such as Jews and the Ukrainians; the horrific events of the Second World War doomed the former, while the latter were deported during the Civil War lasting from 1944 to 1947. Those events ensured for the first time in one thousand years that the eastern frontier of Poland, and more importantly the Eurpoean Union, formed a very clear ethnic divide between the Slavic nations of Ukraine and Poland.
