Museum of concentration camp victims in Lambinowice, Poland.
Here is a sculptor of scattered bodies of concentration camp’s victims.
- “What does it mean?” – we ask Mister Sebastian, worker of the museum.
- The consequences of the USSR head Stalin’s denial to sign the International Convention on Prisoners of War, which tragically affected the Soviet military and officers” – he answers and adding “son of Joseph Stalin Jacob Dzhugashvili-Stalin was among the victims of the concentration camp”.
The fact was that the prisoners of war of the countries that had signed the international convention had been under the protection of international human rights organizations. They had lived in much better conditions, had been provided with high-quality food and a clean bed, had worked in humane conditions, had had the opportunity to participate in cultural and sporting events and had the opportunity to send and receive parcels and letters. The dead had been buried according to the canons of their religion. Unlike the Soviet ones. Soviet prisoners of war had been considered a priori traitors in their own country, respectively, under the slogan “Your country does not need you, so we do not need you” the Nazis had showed the very horrible attitude towards them. Moreover, relatives of Soviet war prisoners had been persecuted and convicted just because their relative had been taken as the war prisoner. Many prisoners on a depressed state had tried to provoke the Nazis in order to be shot. Some prisoners had tried to escape from the camp. For the Soviet prisoners of Nazi bullets had been more than enough. The burial procedure of the Soviet soldiers had been terrible – during the WWII more than 40 000 Soviet war prisoners died and they just had been thrown into common pit and covered with soil. That is it.
For comparison, countries that had signed the International Convention on Prisoners of War had lost in the camp approximately 1000 prisoners of war.
