by Edwin Erich Dwinger
The deportation and expulsion and the mass murder of the ethnic Germans before and at the
beginning of the war in Poland was by no means confined to the "Bloody Sunday of
Bromberg", which is only too often downplayed or even denied outright today. In this book
the reader experiences
almost first-hand the terrible fate of tens of thousands of ethnic Germans in Poland at the
outbreak of the war in 1939. This English translation, published
here for the first time in 2004, commemorates the 65th anniversary of these events that are an
eternal stain on the family bibles of all subsequent Polish generations!
