The Impact of World War II on Ethnic, Religious and Political Transformations in the Bialystok Province

Journal Title: Polish Journal of Applied Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 3

Abstract

The Białystok Voivodeship, which used to exist before the Second World War, similarly to the rest of the eastern territory of the Second Polish Republic, was characterized by a considerable variety of nations and religions. In spite of minor misunderstandings, there were no serious conflicts. The situation changed completely during the Second World War. One of the reasons was the cooperation between the representatives of some national groups with the invaders. The black page in history was the extermination of Jewish population, which constituted a considerable part of the Second Polish Republic society, by the Germans. All of the above as well as establishing new Polish eastern border after 1944 led to the emergence of new, more homogeneous society
