[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Article on Alexandrow Kujawski

[Worth Anderson]

List members with ancestors from Alexandrow Kujawski or Nieszawa, near Torun, may be interested in an article in today's Rzeczpospolita newspaper about a new monument in Alexandrow Kujawski to the memories of 60-100 ethnic Germans who were taken from an internment camp there and killed by Poles in a mill in 1945. The article states an internment camp for Germans was also located at Nieszawa, which also now has a memorial.  Discussions/commemmorations of the treatment of ethnic Germans who were living in Poland at the close of World War II is still a very sensitive subject in Poland.

The article is available online at:

Rzeczpospolita also references an article on this topic that ran a week ago in "Suddeutsche Zeitung."
