They were anarchist in their outlook and set out to destroy any order and to punish those who possessed property. The settlements of Molotschna, Chortitza, Borozenko, and Zagradovka suffered. The male population of a number of villages was completely annihilated and the food and property were taken. A total of some 600 people were murdered. Old and young women were raped, and consequently venereal diseases spread in the communities. Who organized the forming of the Selbstschutz? • Selbstschutz units were trained openly under German supervision mainly in Molotschna, Chortitza, Nikolaipol, and Sagradovka.

The Lichtenau Allgemeine Mennonitische Bundeskonferenz (July 1918) affirmed the ideal of nonresistance but refused to condemn Mennonites who took up arms • http://gameo.org/index.php?title=Selbstschutz In the short run was the Selbstschutz a good thing? In the long run was the Selbstschutz a good thing? • What had begun as a police action ended, in the eyes of the Bolshevik government, as rebellious fighting against the Red Army. Having opted out of the political process four centuries earlier, the Mennonites had opted back in militarily and shown that " the logic of circumstances spoke more strongly than the logic of theology," according to one historian. In tragically provocative conditions and against the will of the majority, Mennonites had sacrificed the concept of the suffering church to the instinct for self-preservation. -- Al Reimer Makhnov Was the movie honest? .

During the German occupation, Polish citizens were subjected to the extermination policy of the Third Reich which goal was to biologically annihilate the entire nation and completely eradicate its culture. The criminal operations on Polish citizens began in September 1939, conducted by the troops of Wehrmacht, SS, Einsatzgruppen, Gestapo and Volksdeutscher Selbstschutz. Since that time, until almost the very end of the war in 1945, mass murders were committed in German concentration and death camps as well as in other places of forced detention like penitentiaries; jails; labour, POW, intern and forced relocation camps; and also ghettos created for the Jewish population. All these places built in occupied Poland – camps, temporary camps, ghettos and labour facilities of various kinds were meant for physical eradication of prisoners for economical purposes of the Third Reich. Polish citizens were also held in various camps in the Third Reich and in other occupied European countries. All these places built in occupied Poland – camps, temporary camps, ghettos and labour facilities of various kinds were meant for physical eradication of prisoners for economical purposes of the Third Reich. The model of a concentration camp prepared in the Third Reich between 1933-1937 with precisely determined internal organisation structure of the SS crews, rules of treatment and punishment of prisoners was systematically introduced at the territory of occupied Poland in camps established there.

  • Peter Black Odilo Globocnik, Nazi Eastern Policy, and the Implementation of the Final Solution
    www.doew.at – Dokumentationsarchiv des österreichischen Widerstandes (Hrsg.), Forschungen zum Natio- nalsozialismus und dessen Nachwirkungen in Österreich. Festschrift für Brigitte Bailer, Wien 2012 91 Peter Black Odilo Globocnik, Nazi Eastern Policy, and the Implementation of the Final Solution During the spring of 1943, while on an inspection tour of occupied Poland that included a briefing on the annihilation of the Polish Jews, SS Personnel Main Office chief Maximilian von Herff characterized Lublin District SS and Police Leader and SS-Gruppenführer Odilo Globocnik, in the following way: “A man fully charged with all possible light and dark sides. Little concerned with ap- pearances, fanatically obsessed with the task, [he] engages himself to the limit without concern for health or superficial recognition. His energy drives him of- ten to breach existing boundaries and to forget the boundaries established for him within the [SS-] Order – not out of personal ambition, but much more for the sake of his obsession with the matter at hand. His success speaks unconditionally for him.”1 Von Herff’s analysis of Globocnik’s reflected a consistent pattern in the ca- reer of the Nazi Party organizer and SS officer, who characteristically atoned for his transgressions of the National Socialist code of behavior by fanatical pursuit and implementation of core Nazi goals.2 Globocnik was born to Austro-Croat parents on April 21, 1904 in multina- tional Trieste, then the principal seaport of the Habsburg Monarchy. His father’s family had come from Neumarkt (Tržič), in Slovenia. Franz Globocnik served as a Habsburg cavalry lieutenant and later a senior postal official; he died of pneumonia on December 1, 1919.

    [169] Recenzje i omówienia 169 nieczna wydaje się ich intensyfikacja w ramach projektów czysto naukowych27, nie zaś przy okazji prowadzonych prac konserwatorskich, jak jest obecnie. Niezbędne (oraz oczywiste) jest również podejście interdyscyplinarne, a także uzupełnienie stanu ba- dań o najnowsze, niepublikowane odkrycia. Po drugie, analiza nie może się skupiać jedynie na aspektach formalno-przestrzennych domów, ale musi sięgać od bloków i parcel przez zabudowę podwórza, tj. oficyn, spichrzy i bud, na aspekcie funkcjono- wania i wyposażenia domostwa kończąc. Niezwykle ważne wydaje się także porówna- nie stanu rozpoznania domów toruńskich do zdecydowanie bardziej rozbudowanego i pogłębionego już stanu badań nad kamienicami w Polsce i Europie Północnej. Omówiona w tej recenzji książka nie wyczerpuje tych potrzeb. Nie może być też bezkrytycznym źródłem na temat historii poszczególnych domostw. Jest jednak istot- nym impulsem do dalszych szczegółowych badań oraz prac popularyzatorskich, któ- rych celem powinno być jak najszersze rozpoznanie i przedstawienie wszystkich war- tości jednego z najważniejszych zespołów średniowiecznej zabudowy miast w Polsce.

  • Miriam Weiner Archival Collection Fordon, Poland
    MIRIAM WEINER ARCHIVAL COLLECTION FORDON, POLAND – Collection Description According to Wikipedia: "At some point Fordon was located in the Grand Duchy of Posen and later under direct Prussian control. It was returned to Poland at the end of the First World War. In 1939 it was incorporated by the Third Reich. It is estimated that during World War II German soldiers killed from 1200 to 3000 people, mainly Poles and Jews, in the Death Valley of Fordon (Valley of Death (Bydgoszcz)). The exact number stays unknown as historians have not found appropriate documents that would state the final number of deaths. Finally, in 1945 Fordon was liberated from Nazi occupation. In 1950 Fordon was still a separate town from Bydgoszcz. At that time it was described as "seven miles east" of the latter city. It had a population of 3,514 people and manufactured such things as cement and paper.[1] In 1973 Fordon became a part of the city of Bydgoszcz." Valley of Death (Polish: Dolina Zmierci) in Fordon, Bydgoszcz, northern Poland, is a site of Nazi German mass murder committed at the beginning of World War II and a mass grave of 1,200 – 1,400 Poles and Jews murdered in October and November 1939 by the local German Selbstschutz and the Gestapo.[1][2] The murders were a part of Intelligenzaktion in Pomerania, a Nazi action aimed at the elimination of the Polish intelligentsia in Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia, which included the former Pomeranian Voivodeship ("Polish Corridor"). It was part of a larger genocidal action that took place in all German occupied Poland, code-named Operation Tannenberg.[3] Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_Death_(Bydgoszcz) Fordon, Poland - Page 2 Included in the Surname Database are the following documents for this town: Birth records 1823 / 1866 Marriage records 1824 / 1860 Death records 1842 / 1859 The foregoing documents trace the Rosenbaum family (and related families including Barnass and Oser) through one family member who came to the U.S.

  • 1. Zbrodnia W Szymankowie 1 Września 1939 Roku – Pierwszego Wprowadzenie Dnia Agresji Niemieckiej Na Polskę
    1 1. Zbrodnia w Szymankowie 1 września 1939 roku – pierwszego wprowadzenie dnia agresji niemieckiej na Polskę [Z relacji Alfonsa Lessnaua [w:] Kazimierz Ickiewicz, Zbrodnia w Szymankowie, Pelplin, Wydawnictwo „Bernardinum”, 2016] Dnia 1 września 1939 roku zbudził mnie ze snu warkot samolotów. Dochodziła 4.00. […] Żona przygotowała śniadanie, a ja kończąc ubieranie, zauważyłem przez okno, jak jeden z Heimwery pod karabinem gotowym do strzału prowadzi Romana Grubbę. Zaraz zorientowałem się, że jest źle, lecz nie było na to rady. Wszelka ucieczka była niemożliwa, ponieważ cały teren stacji był obstawiony przez SA i Heimwerę. Nagle ktoś mocno zakołatał do drzwi mieszkania. […] Po krótkiej chwili wezwali nas SA-mani do drzwi wejściowych. Gdyśmy się zbliżali, padły strzały z pistoletów trzymanych w ukryciu w kieszeniach wiatrówek. Pierwszy padł trupem jeden z nieznanych mi osobiście pracowników kolejowych. Reszta rozbiegła się po pokojach Odcinka Drogowego […]. Wszyscy, jedni z utraty przytomności, drudzy – jak ja – nie tracąc jej, pokładli się lub poupadali na podłogę. SA-mani gdzieś się podziali; pozostał jeden, który kolejno dobijał żywych. Rozpoczął od nieznanego mi współtowarzysza, którego dobił trzema strzałami. Następnie dłuższy czas pastwił się nad jęczącym [Arturem] Okroyem, dobił go dopiero dziewiątym strzałem. Później podszedł do [Izydora] Żelewskiego i do mnie. Do ciężko rannego Żelewskiego oddał trzy strzały, a mnie uznał za już nieżyjącego. Prawdopodobnie ten sam, wyszedłszy korytarzem, wlazł przez okno do mego mieszkania i tam trzema strzałami zabił żonę będącą w ciąży [Elżbietę Lessnau z d. Torlińską, która w chwili śmierci miała 22 lata]. Była godzina piąta rano […]. [Zbrodnia w Szymankowie pod Tczewem została dokonana na 13 polskich kolejarzach i 5 celnikach, a także żonie i siostrze dwóch spośród nich.
