p During the occupation of Poland, a large number of concentration camps were formed on her territory holding many civilians and Soviet p.o.w.s.
When the Soviet Army liberated the Lamsdorf camp in Poland they found dozens of inscriptions on barrack walls, prison beds and cell doors, made by Soviet patriots awaiting death. These inscriptions are documentary proof of the invincible will of Soviet people who preserved their human dignity in the face of nazi abominations
