Investigation concerning crimes committed against Poles in Grodno and its area by the Gestapo and German military police officers in the years 1941-1944 - wersja graficzna tekstu
As a result of the investigation
it has been established that the German soldiers began the extermination of
Polish population once they entered Grodno in late June 1941. The criminal
activities were undertaken primarily against the representatives of the Polish
intellectual circles. Victims were people stopped in the street hold-ups who
were later placed in prison and then transported to concentration camps. In the
Grodno old city a ghetto for Jewish inhabitants was arranged. The Polish efforts
of armed resistance brought about executions in the Naumowicze forts. As a
result of the undertaken investigative activities names of the executed hostages
were established. They were officers of the Polish Army, engineers, doctors,
priests, teachers and a Vice-President of Grodno.
The targeted victims were
murdered together with their families. The activities which are currently under
way aim at establishing the names of other, unknown victims.
