Summary/Abstract: World War II caused the outbreak of bloody conflicts on the grounds of nationality and ethnicity. The former Volhynian Governorate, where unimaginable acts of violence took place, became a particularly dangerous place. For almost one hundred years, these areas were inhabited by, among others, few Czechs who tried to survive various turmoil around them. Attacks on the Czech minority in Volhynia ceased with the end of World War II when the majority of Czechs decided to return to their homeland.
