    Profesor Ekiert is wrong who says that Jedwabne type murder wasn`t possibile in Poznań region. . Jedwabne type murder was possibile in Poznań region. Why? Because Jedwabne was done by Germans [Einsatzgruppen] and so could be done in Poznań region as well. There was hundreds of Jedwabne type murders all other Poland and in Poznan region . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacification_actions_in_German-occupied_Poland When People Polish Army in 1945 was fighting Pomerania Wall there was very well known [but only to Polish] Massacre of Podgaje https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_in_Podgaje Prisoners [mostly Poles and even Germans] were burned in Radogoszcz prison in January 1945 in Lodz city. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masakra_w_więzieniu_na_Radogoszczu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radogoszcz_prison German liquidated concentration prisoners by burning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gardelegen_massacre Jedwabne is a hucpa [scam]. Exhumations there were stopped by Jewis rabbies after german bullets were found in and around the grave. Only surface examinations were done. Farther examinations could destroy hooligan holocausts like Gross narration.
