Talk:Julian Bilecki

Polish or Ukrainian?
Bilecki lived in Poland before the war, but after the war, his village became part of Ukraine (well, USSR). NYT calls him a Pole, and both NYT and CNN  spell his name in the Polish fashion. YV calls the location "Poland" but spells his name in a Ukrainian/Russian fashion:. Our article contains an unreferenced claim that "the Bilecki family who remained poor in Ukraine"... so it seems that he was a Pole, but if he chose to remain in Ukraine he might be classified as a member of Polish minority in Ukraine or Polish-Ukrainian, perhaps. It's hard to figure this better without more sources. I couldn't find any Polish media mentioning his story. Additional sources in the article don't appear reliable, but may be correct: this (also reprinted in and ) suggest the Ukrainian angle is correct: "In 1992, in the first ceremony of its kind in Ukraine, seven Ukrainian citizens were inducted into Yad Vashem's Righteous Among the Nations for their efforts to save Jews during the Holocaust. One of those honored was Julian Bilecki. Attending were representatives of Ukrainian President Leonid Kravchuk, the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church." (but the date 1992 is inconsistent with YV website, which states 1990). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:17, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Date of the liberation of Podjahce by the Red Army
The article suggests in one section that the Jews the Bileckis hid were liberated on March 27, 1944. However, the Yad Vashem source cites the date of the Red Army liberation as April 1, 1944. the means to the end (talk) 10:51, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
