‘THE POMERANIAN CRIME OF 1939’
The exhibition is dedicated to a planned and mass extermination action carried out in the area of Pomerania along the Vistula and Kujawy. The victims were predominantly Polish and Jewish citizens, representing diverse social layers: clergy, intellectuals, workers, and landowners. Mentally ill individuals were also subjected to the massacres. The perpetrators were members of various German police formations, the Wehrmacht, and to a large extent, representatives of the German national minority who were members of the Volksdeutsche Selbstschutz.
