Abstract:
"The work describes the largest site of mass extermination on the eastern borders of pre-war Poland (Kresy Wschodnie)-Ponary, near Vilnius, for years 1941-1944. On this site were murdered thousands of persons, mostly citizens of Poland, living in the Vilnius region. The book was prepared on the basis of archival materials, information gathered from memoirs, and on the basis of personal recollections of witnesses and victims' families. Much of the work is devoted to biographical issues-brief bios, or basic data on the Poles killed at Ponary. The book contains numerous facsimiles of documents, a detailed bibliography, and a name index."----From: 'Biographical Sources for Poland-Victims of War' at http://door.library.uiuc.edu/spx/class/Biography/Polishbio/polvictims.htm.
