Polish war graves from the Second World War

Polish war graves from the Second World War

Nine foreign nationals who died during the Second World War are buried at the cemetery in Mühlheim am Main. The names of those buried, together with their dates of birth and death, are inscribed on a stone headstone in the centre of a small plot.
Among those buried there is Janina Rebajn (née Stein), a Polish woman who died shortly after the end of the war, born on 15 January 1896 in Warsaw. However, the gravestone bears an incorrect year of birth – 1898. Also buried there is Antoni Piotrowski, born on 16 May 1916 in Giejstuny (before 1939 in the Oszmiana district, Vilnius Province; today in Belarus). The spelling of his first name and surname suggests he was Polish, though he is listed as Lithuanian in documents from the Arolsen Archives. Given his place of birth, it was assumed that he was a citizen of the Second Polish Republic. The remaining seven people buried in the cemetery were citizens of the USSR.
