UniLodz Academic Community Commemorates the Victims of the Soviet Invasion of Poland in 1939

This date is particularly poignant for us today... On 17 September, the University of Lodz community commemorated the victims of the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939. We remember Polish citizens who fell victim to deportations, imprisonment and labour camps, as well as executions and murders. We remember those who disappeared in the East and those who managed to survive and return home.
