Notes

“Using archival materials, information from museum institutions, and cemetery administrations, we try to determine whether the graves of Polish victims still exist, in what condition they are, we visit these places, make photographic documentation, describe the cemeteries, the location of the graves. We also often document places and cemeteries where graves existed that were liquidated in the post-war years,” Dekal said.

Based on the collected materials, an online database is being created, available at www.polskiegroby.pl. An FPNP spokesperson said: “If you visit the website, you can see that an interactive map of Germany is dotted with these sites.”
