La Pologne fait le décompte de ses victimes de la guerre sur internet
too lazy to search for an english article.  Marti will find this for us, I'm sure of it :)

Basically, every single Polish victim of that war will be listed on a web site.  Quite an ambitious project.

Here's the site: http://www.straty.pl/

I'm not sure Marty will do anything.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Will it include Jewish victims?

It said Polish victims, not exterminated parasites of the host nation.

I haven't heard about it but I suppose it will have Polish citizens. I'd imagine this includes Polish citizens of Jewish ethnicity, as well, if that's what you are asking. I don't imagine it will include Jewish victims of non-Polish citizenship. :mellow:

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Quite an ambitious project waste of taxpayers' money.

There, I fixed your post for you.

If the site included the names of Jews, they'd have bandwidth problems.

While the site doesn't say it, the cursory reading between the lines makes me think it's meant as a fuck you to Germans for all the recent noise concerning being kicked out of Western Poland after WW2. So it will list all Polish citizens who were killed by ze Germans.

Anyway, the site lists Jewish and Roma historical organisations as participants in the project, so yeah non-ethnic-Poles are also included obviously.

I thought this was about Kübelwagen victims in BF1942. :(

What about the Jews exterminated by the Poles?
