Chodaczkow Wielki massacre took place during World War II in an ethnic Polish village of Chodaczków Wielki [1] located in in Reichskommissariat Ukraine, (now Ternopil, Ukraine). Following the 1939 Soviet invasion of Poland and the subsequent Nazi German invasion of the Soviet Union, on April 16, 1944, during the wave of massacres of Poles in Volhynia, the village was allegedly destroyed by the Ukrainian SS Division Galicia. 862 Poles were murdered, and about 500 houses were burned down.[2] One former Polish resident of Chodaczkow Wielki mentions that the Ukrainians told them to leave but did not mention any Poles being massacred or killed and did not mention the involvement of Ukrainian soldiers.[3][4] Chodaczkow Wielki massacre is alleged to have been one of the biggest massacres of Poles in the region of Eastern Galicia.[5]
Poles who escaped the massacre, buried the dead in a communal grave, in front of the local Roman-Catholic church. After the World War II , Polish survivors were forced to leave the village, deported by the Soviet authorities to new communist Poland. They settled as a group around Gogolin and Niemodlin in the Opole Voivodeship.[5][6]
