On July 13, the Polish National Memorial Research Society, which investigates the crimes of Nazi Germany during World War II, issued a statement saying that the agency had found a large cemetery containing the ashes of about 8,000 dead people weighing more than 10 tons at the site of the former Zordał Nazi concentration camp in the Jałdovo region of Poland.
Tomaş Jankowski, prosecutor of the Polish National Memorial Research Association, said that according to many estimates, a total of 30,000 people died in the Sordał Nazi concentration camp. "We confirmed the names of 3,000 victims through our survey, but we are sure there are many more victims. The discovery of this cemetery is now a big breakthrough, which shows that at least 8,000 people died in the Soldaú concentration camp. ”
The ashes are likely to belong to Poles killed by Nazi Germany during World War II, and Poland will conduct DNA analysis to determine the identity of the victims, the statement said.
It is understood that the Soldau concentration camp was established by Nazi Germany during World War II to imprison and kill Jews as well as Polish prisoners. Before the camp closed in 1945, Nazi Germany had demanded that captured Jews exhum the bodies and burn them in an attempt to destroy evidence of war crimes.
