Investigation in the case of deportations of people from the Gdańsk Pomerania to the Soviet Union in 1945
The investigation is conducted by the Branch Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation in Gdańsk. The decision to instigate it was made on December 12th, 2000.
In the course of the investigation, it was stated that some people - both women and men, especially of a young age (below 20) - who lived in the territory of the Gdańsk Pomerania were illegally deprived of freedom and then placed in special, provisionally organized, places directly after the occupation of a given township by the Soviet secret services (NKWD) or the Soviet Army. Once a larger number of people were concentrated in one of such places, they were then transported to the NKWD camps in Grudziądz, Ciechanów, Działdowo and Iława, from where they were deported in the Soviet Union (Syberia). The deported people were then placed in labour camps for the period from some to a couple of dozen months.
