This site is currently under development, therefore some areas of the site are not complete or may not work as expected. Please go to the current live Kresy website at:
https://kresy-siberia.org
Featuring video clips from over 700 interviews with survivors and their stories of repressions and the fight for freedom.
Over 355,000 entries about Poland’s citizens fighting for survival and freedom in eastern Poland (‘Kresy’) and in forced exile on foreign soil during World War II. This includes those deported to Soviet or German forced labour, those remaining in Kresy under Soviet, German or Ukrainian nationalist repression, and those forced to continue their struggle on foreign soil as civilian refugees or as members of the Polish Forces in Exile in the First Armoured Division, II Corps (Anders Army), Air Force, Navy and First (Berling’s) Army.
These permanent exhibitions explore what life was like in Poland’s eastern “Kresy” Borderlands before World War II, the fight for survival and freedom by Polish citizens during the War.
