All lines of evidence show that this map was produced using the most accurate and impartial historical sources. The language on the map is simple, naming only "Hitler's Atrocities," and there is no evidence of a clear anti-German bias.
It was edited for the Council for Protection of Fight and Martyrdom Monuments and is based on documents of the Central Commission for the Investigation of Nazi Crimes in Poland.
The editor was Jan Laskowski, a prominent cartographer, World War II veteran, and member of the Komisja who dedicated his life to studying war crimes.
Condition is good to very good. Note map has 0.8cm spilt crease and fold lines in back of map. Also noted some of the edges are darkened, primarily in the back. Please see photos for condition.
Please note in some of the pictures the red writing at the bottom appears faded, IT IS NOT, THIS is lighting.
This map was commissioned by the Główna Komisja Ścigania Zbrodni przeciwkoNarodowi Polskiemu.
The map reflects research conducted in the 1960s and '70s that was critical to preserving knowledge of the Holocaust.
