The Crazy World of Walter Sanning (Part 5)

Andrzej Gawryszewski has very kindly sent me the list shown below of Aleksander Gurjanov's transport data for deportations to the Soviet interior from annexed areas of former eastern Poland between February 1940 and June 1941. This helps to debunk the claim, made by Walter Sanning, that two million Poles were deported, of which 750,000 were Jews. Gurjanov estimates a total of 315,000 deportees, with a margin of error of between 10,000 and 15,000. The deportation that targeted Jewish refugees took place in June-July 1940; the transports in that action totaled 75,267 deportees, not all of whom were Jews. In the next blog, we will show how these records can be synthesized with other Soviet and Polish documentation to refute Sanning.
