Book description:
In 1939, mass executions of Polish civilians took place in Gdańsk Pomerania. One of the largest places of execution was the sandpit in Paterek near Nakło nad Notecią. At the beginning of the occupation, units of the German Selbstschutz Westpreussen, acting under the supervision of the SS, murdered over 200 people there, mainly Polish monks, priests, teachers, and local Jews. The murder in Paterek was an element of the Pomeranian crime of 1939 - the extermination of approximately 30,000 citizens of the Second Polish Republic.
