Investigation concerning the forced Germanization of Polish children in the years 1939-1945 in Połczyn Zdrój in the Lebensborn factory
Investigation concerning the forced
Germanization of Polish children in the years 1939-1945 in Połczyn Zdrój in the
Lebensborn factory
On the basis of witnesses
testimonies it was disclosed that several hundred Polish and Ukrainian children
were kept in the factory. The German archives were asked to disclose
documentation concerning the functioning of the factory, particularly the
personal files of Polish children. The difficulties in reaching the victims are
caused by the fact that their identities were changed and not all of them know
their background. A further development of the investigation depends on the
results of the research in the German archives.
