Abstract

The commemoration book of the Roman-Catholic parish Bruckenthal The village Bruckenthal (Choronów) was founded in 1786 by German colonists. By 1939 this village was located in the district of Rawa, Lviv province. German colonists, brought by the Austrian authorities after the partition of Poland, blended into the Polish and Ruthenian population that was sedentary in these areas for centuries. The parish in Bruckenthal was erected only in the late 19th c. Archival records created in the parish office are currently preserved at the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw. The ‘Commemorative Book of the parish Bruckenthal’ (Liber Memorabilium parochiae Bruckenthalensis confectus ab administratore Josephato Gieszczyński) stands out among them. The book was started in 1908 by the rev. Józefat Gieszczyński. His notes were continued by his successors: rev. Tomasz Marszałek, rev. Władysław Strzemecki and rev. Władysław Dubaniowski in the years 1923–1938. The information contained in the book date back to the earlier times, i.e. the beginning of the parish. Additionally, press clippings and photographs enrich the content. The book gives picture of difficulties the pastoral priests were facing in a poor parish, which also was destroyed by military operations during the First World War. Representatives of various nationalities (Poles, Ukrainians and Germans) lived in that parish what resulted in the formation of ethnic conflicts. Their apogee took place during World War II. The village ceased to exist in March 1944 after burning buildings and massacre of its inhabitants by a branch of the Ukrainian nationalists.
