The Great Big Book Of Horrible Things: The Definitive Chronicle Of History's 100 Worst Atrocities - Plot & Excerpts
Germans Time frame: 1945–47 Location: Eastern Europe Major state participants: Poland, Czechoslovakia Minor state participants: Soviet Union, United States, Britain, France Who usually gets the most blame: Poland, Czechoslovakia The unanswerable question everyone asks: Can you really blame them? POLAND SUFFERED THE MOST DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR. IT WAS the first nation to be conquered; then it was partitioned, then subjected to massacres, which escalated to genocide; then the war returned from the other direction and plowed over Poland yet again. When it was all over, one-sixth of the Polish people—three million Jews, three million others—were dead. The victors sensed that Poland deserved some compensation for all of its troubles, especially since Stalin was keeping the eastern territories of Poland for himself, where local Ukrainian and Belorussian majorities were being incorporated into the Soviet Union. After the war, the border between Germany and Poland was shifted westward, to the Oder River.
