In Piskorowice and outlying villages a massacre of between 160 and 400 ethnic Ukrainians led by members of the National Military Organization of the "Wolyniak" group, aided by Polish civilians, took place on 16 April 1945.[1] It is sometimes referred to as part of the wider Pawłokoma massacres.

From the Polish viewpoint of that time these actions were deemed to be retaliation for the anti-Polish crimes against humanity committed by the UPA. The immediate reason of this retaliation was the massacre committed by UPA the day before in the village Wiązownica.[2]
