Description
In 1939, eastern Poland was absorbed in the Soviet Union as Western Ukraine and Western Belarus. Between 150,000 and 300,000 Polish citizens of Jewish background fled from German-occupied territory into the Soviet Union between September 1939 and June 1941. The Soviet Union offered them a harsh but more liveable alternative.
