Another visit during which we learned more about the daily life in the camp, as well as the desire of relatives who visit us to explore the wartime paths of their ancestors. Andrew, along with his friend, decided to come to Toruń for a few hours to learn about the history of the camp and to visit the places where Andrew's father had been. Despite the short visit, well-preserved documentation and compiled memories allowed us to meet these expectations and show everything that was possible to see in such a short time. We truly admire this determination and eagerness to uncover family histories shown by our guests.
This blog is dedicated to people who were imprisoned in Stalag XXA in Thorn in 1939-45. We would like to show you that in the shadows of the beautiful gothic city there is also forgotten history.
