Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany: Encyclopedia II - Ethnic cleansing - Early examples of ethnic cleansing

The Assyrian Empire regularly deported entire ethnic groups, as did the Babylonians; victims of this policy most famously include the Israelites of Israel in 722 BC and the Israelites of Judah in 586 BC (see Babylonian captivity of Judah). In some instances, the expulsion of Jews had some features of ethnic cleansing, especially if accompanied by violence and enacted on the whole territory of the state. Jews were expelled from England (1290), France (1306), Hungary (1349–1360), Provence (1394 and 1490), Austria (1421), Spain after t ...

Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany: Encyclopedia II - Ethnic cleansing - Colonization-related ethnic cleansing

During more recent times, ethnic cleansing has often been used during colonisation projects. In North America, British and American settlers ethnically cleansed millions [citation needed] of Native Americans, forcibly relocating them to remote and often inhospitable reservation land. In southern Africa and Australia, native tribes were removed from their lands so that they could be replaced by white farmers and settlers. The colonization of the Americas by European powers, particularly Spain and Britain. This l ...

Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany: Encyclopedia II - Reichsgau Wartheland - Invasion

A series of staged attacks near the German-Polish border provided a pretext for invasion of Polish territory. After the invasion of Poland, the conquered territory was partitioned among four different Reichsgau and the General Government area further east. Reichsgau Wartheland was created on October 8, 1939, with Arthur Greiser as the first and only Gauleiter. ...

Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany: Encyclopedia II - East Prussia - The Kingdom of Prussia

Although Brandenburg remained theoretically subordinate to the Holy Roman Emperor, the Prussian lands were not within the Holy Roman Empire and were outside the jurisdiction of the Emperor. This independence allowed Elector Frederick III to crown himself King Frederick I in Prussia in 1701. The new kingdom ruled by the Hohenzollern dynasty became known as the Kingdom of Prussia. After the First Partition of Poland in 1772, Warmia (Ermland in German), part of the former Polish Royal Prussia, was merged with the eastern Duchy of ...

Some narratives in the in the Bible which describe the Hebrew conquest of Canaan in c. 13th century BC or before, would now be considered descriptions of ethnic cleansing or even genocide. In several places God commands the Hebrews to kill every man, woman and child after capturing a city, and sometimes cities also had to be burnt to the ground. In Exodus, the story of the Pharaoh's attempt to destroy the Israelites living in Egypt can also be seen as ethnic cleansing. Similarly Haman's attempt to wipe ou ...

Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany: Encyclopedia II - History of the Jews in Poland - Interwar period 1918–39

History of the Jews in Poland - Independence and Polish Jews. Jews also played a role in the fight for independence in 1918, some joining Józef Piłsudski, while many other communities decided to remain neutral in the fight for a Polish state. In the wake of World War I and the ensuing conflicts that engulfed Eastern Europe — the Russian Civil War, Polish-Ukrainian War, and Polish-Soviet War — many pogroms were launched against the Jews by all sides. As a substantial n ...

Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany: Encyclopedia II - Ethnic cleansing - Ethnic cleansing as a military and political tactic

The purpose of ethnic cleansing is to remove the conditions for potential and actual opposition, whether political, terrorist, guerrilla or military, by physically removing any potentially or actually hostile ethnic communities. Although it has sometimes been motivated by a doctrine that claim an ethnic group is literally "unclean" (as in the case of the Jews of medieval Europe), more usually it has been a rational (if brutal) way of ensuring that total control can be asserted over an area. The campaign in Bosnia in early 1992 was a case in ...

Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany: Encyclopedia II - History of the Jews in Poland - Since 1989

With the fall of Communism in Poland, Jewish cultural, social, and religious life has been undergoing a revival. Many historical issues, especially related to World War II and the 1944–89 period, suppressed by Communist censorship have been re-evaluated and publicly discussed (like the Massacre in Jedwabne, the Koniuchy Massacre, the Kielce pogrom, the Auschwitz cross, and Polish-Jewish wartime relations in general). According to the Coordination Forum of Countering Antisemitism there were eighteen anti-Semitic incidents in Poland i ...

History of the Jews in Poland - Postwar. Between 40,000 and 100,000 Polish Jews survived the Holocaust in Poland by hiding or by joining the Polish or Soviet partisan units. Another 50,000–170,000 were repatriated from the Soviet Union and 20,000–40,000 from Germany and other countries. At its postwar peak, there were 180,000–240,000 Jews in Poland settled mostly in Warsaw, Łódź, Kraków, and Wrocław. Soon after the end of the Second World War, Jews began to flee Poland. Prompted by renewed anti- ...

Official Russian policy would eventually prove to be substantially harsher to the Jews than that under independent Polish rule. The lands that had once been Poland were to remain the home of many Jews, as, in 1772, Catherine II, the tzarina of Russia, instituted the Pale of Settlement, restricting Jews to the western parts of the empire, which would eventually include much of Poland, although it excluded some areas in which Jews had previously lived. By the late 1800s, over four million Jews would live in the Pale. Initially, R ...

Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany: Encyclopedia II - Ethnic cleansing - Ethnic cleansing as international law crime

Ethnic cleansing is designated a crime against humanity in international treaties, such as that which created the International Criminal Court (ICC). The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was set up in a similar spirit, and prosecutes these crimes under more generic names. The United Nations' General Assembly condemns "ethnic cleansing" and racial hatred in a 1992 resolution [5]. The emergence of ethnic cleansing as a distinct category of war crime has been a somewhat complex process. Each individ ...

During the first week of the German invasion of Poland, there is little agreement as to the number and manner of minority Germans killed during Bromberg Bloody Sunday and in the days that followed throughout western Poland as the German Blitzkrieg swept through. Nazi propaganda later reported 60,000 people and used it as a pretext for repression against Poles (see also Provocation in Gliwice). As German forces gained control, immediate executions killed over 3,000 Poles, many with unproven culpability, but this was just the beg ...

Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany: Encyclopedia II - History of the Jews in Poland - The development of Judaism in Poland and the Commonwealth

The culture and intellectual output of the Jewish community in Poland had a profound impact on Judaism as a whole. Some Jewish historians have recounted that the word Poland is pronounced as Polania or Polin in Hebrew, and as transliterated into Hebrew, these names for Poland were interpreted as "good omens" because Polania can be broken down into three Hebrew words: po ("here"), lan ("dwells"), ya ("God"), and Polin into two words of: po ("here") lin ("[you should] dwell"). The ...

At the beginning of 1945, Russian forces drove the retreating Germans through the Polish lands.
