Statistics of the World War II

During the war, about 6 million Polish citizens were killed by Germans, and 2.5 million were deported to Germany for forced labour. In 1941-1943 Ukrainian nationalists massacred more than 100.000 Poles in Galicia and Volhynia. About 3 million Jews (all but about 300,000–500,000 of the Jewish population) died of starvation in ghettos and labour camps or were killed in extermination camps of Oswiecim (Auschwitz II), Treblinka, Majdanek, Belzec, Sobibor, Che³mno. About 1.5–2 million Polish citizens were deported to the Soviet Union, many of them to concentration camps and labour camps (Gulag).
