[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] 4. Re: Russian Prisoner Camp near Lodz (Greg Mason)

[Anna Zglińska]

Hello...

There was a camp in Ruda Pabianicka. The Foundation  "Memory"  made an 
ehxumation there in 2007/2008. I'm not an expert, this was the only camp 
I could find. Number of those camps was not bigger than the number of 
german concentration camps.

Be careful with literature, ok? As far as I remember those books that 
Mason recomended you have bad reviews in academic circles. There is a 
rule in history - we can claim that something is true when we had at 
least two independent sources of information, f.eg. archives and 
newspaper, newspaper and report etc.
