During that time, Soviet forces sought to seize control by suppressing Polish militia and religious figures, imprisoning, deporting and killing Polish soldiers, clergy and civilians.

Kinda reminds me of today's Democrats.

“In February 1945, Russian forces descended upon hospitals in Gdańsk-Wrzeszcz, Olsztyn and Orneta, where nuns in the St. Catherine order served as nurses. Soldiers beat and stabbed patients and attacked the nuns who intervened, causing horrific injuries;”

My great grandparents lived in Danzig’s Langfuhr district (renamed Gdańsk-Wrzeszcz at the end of the war) 1899-1945 when they were evicted by the Russians. My dad was born there and he was three years old when his dad moved the family to NYC in 1927.

This is the first I have heard about this atrocity against the nuns.

Thanks for posting this!

Two great movies about Polish nuns under the Soviets are “Ida” and “The Innocents.” I’ve only watched the former.

Communists v Catholics. Don’t show up unarmed.
