  ## World War II
  
  During the wave of massacres of Poles in Volhynia between 1942 and 1945, Dołha Wojniłowska was one of hundreds of sites of mass murder of Polish civilians by OUN-UPA. On April 2, 1944 local Catholic priest, Rev. Błażej Czuba, was burned alive in his parish with 85 people. Soon after, on the first night of Easter, April 9–10, 1944, additional 64 people were massacred there during an OUN-UPA murderous raid overlooked by SS-Galizien. The attack was accompanied by the burning and razing of farmhouses, schools and churches.
