Lamsdorf Miejsce z Blizną / Scarred Place

The history of Łambinowice, like no other, is perfect for showing the totalitarian madness of the past 20th century.

During the Prussian-French war, a prisoner of war camp was established on the local training ground for soldiers of Napoleon III captured. All that remains are 52 graves and a marble cross.

During I World War, 90,000 soldiers from the Entente countries were sent to the Lamsdorf Stalag: Russians, English, Italians, Serbs and Romanians. 6,500 died; a huge forest of crosses reminds us of them.

When II World War II broke out, the first people sent to the stalag were Polish soldiers taken prisoner in the Battle of the Bzura River. In 1941, the first Soviet soldiers were brought - their number reached 200,000; at least one fifth of them did not survive. They were kept in inhumane conditions, exhausted and their bodies thrown into mass graves.

Soldiers of other armies of the anti-Hitler coalition, such as the British, French, Belgians and Australians, were treated better.

"We must remember the fate of these people and remind everyone of what led to this tragedy. Forgetting makes wars come back."
