In 1939 Poland was divided between Germany and the Soviet Union as a result of the Ribbentrop-Molotov agreement. One of the terms of this agreement was that German ethnics were to be relocated from the Russian area to the German area. This database is a partial extraction of the records kept of these relocations. More information about these records including how to get original copies and how to use them is found in our help file.
