During World War II, hundreds of thousands of non-Jewish Polish citizens were imprisoned in Nazi German concentration camps for various reasons, including Polish resistance movement in World War II.[1]

In Auschwitz alone, there were between 130,000 and 150,000 Polish prisoners, about half of them who perished during their incarceration.[2]
