Poland held a state burial of the remains of more than 700 victims of Nazi Germany’s mass executions recently uncovered in the 'Valley of Death.'
Poland held a state burial on Monday of the remains of more than 700 victims of Nazi Germany's World War II mass executions that were recently uncovered in the so-called Valley of Death in the country's north. The observances in the town of Chojnice began with a funeral Mass for the victims of the Nazi crimes at the basilica, followed by an interment ceremony with military honors at a local cemetery.
Duda sent a message saying that the deaths weren't in vain and the victims will always be held in the national memory, because the only reason they were killed by the Nazis was the fact that they were Polish. The remains of Polish civilians, including 218 asylum patients, were exhumed from 2021 to 2024 from a number of mass graves on the outskirts of Chojnice. Personal belongings and documents helped identify around 120 of the victims of an execution in early 1945.
