Is this material political? Do you take sides?

The material on this site is intended to reflect the stories of people not political systems. The prime purpose is to permit loved ones and friends to become aware of how and where those they cared for experienced events and, in some cases, died. The second objective is to present data and background colour for researchers and historians.

The authors of this material do not condone hatred in any form, neither do we support oppressive and despotic regimes or political systems.

Some people covered in these pages may not have been nice people at all. They may have performed unacceptable acts for unforgivable reasons. They may have been fighting to achieve aims the civilized world rejects.

The stories we record are personal stories. The reader is free to make his or her judgment on the individuals described.
