2,000+ Unidentified Remains Reburied in Poland
In 2008, when construction workers dug the foundations for a new hotel building in Malbork, Poland, they discovered human remains. It turned out to be a mass grave containing bones from over 2,000 people, more than 60% of which were of women and children. Today, they were reburied in a military cemetery for German soldiers in the Polish village of Stare Czarnowo near the German-Polish border. The ceremony was presided over jointly by Polish and German officials. The remains were believed to be German civilians who died in early 1945 during the Soviet assault on the city, then within German borders and known as Marienberg. For more information, please see BBC article Mass Polish reburial of war dead.
