More than sixty years ago the German Nazi regime committed great crimes against innocent civilian victims: Jews, Poles, Russians, Serbs, and other people of Central and Eastern Europe. At war's end, however, innocent German civilians in turn became victims of crimes against humanity. Forgotten Voices lets these victims of ethnic cleansing tell their story in their own words, so that they and what they endured are not forgotten. This volume is an important supplement to the voices of victims of totalitarianism and has been written in order to keep the historical record clear.

In 2009, a significant discovery was made in Malbork, Poland, where a mass grave containing 1,800 bodies was uncovered. This finding raises questions about the historical events that led to such a tragic outcome, prompting exploration into the region's past and the impact of war. The discovery serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of conflict and the importance of remembering those who suffered.
