The following information was compiled by the gmina management in order to honor those killed during the Nazi occupation, 1939-1945. The information was presented in 2006 as a preliminary to a final, edited version for inclusion in the “History Notebook” section of the gmina’s monthly magazine, “Peryskop.”

The following people were killed or listed as missing during the war as a result of: Selbstschutzu (ethnic German para-military organization*), Gestapo, special courts, at the front, in concentration camps, prison camps, missing, and other circumstances.

Dates are written in the European style: day, month, year. Diacritical marks were not used. All parenthesis and question marks were copied from the compilation document. In most cases the number in parenthesis indicates the event may have taken place on that day. In other cases the parenthesis indicates a different spelling or information. The question marks indicate uncertainty in the date or the spelling but was copied as found in the records used to compile this document. Certainly some of these unknowns are the result of misinformation and poor handwriting found in the original Nazi records. There were some inconsistencies in the way information was formulated on the compilation document, however, the information below was transcribed exactly as I found it in the compilation document.

The village of Kabat was completely destroyed by the Nazis. It no longer exists. However, a large radio station has been built on a section of that same land.

     KS Unia is an abbreviation for Klub Sportowy which translates to sports’ team.
     OSP is an abbreviation for Ochotnicza Straz Pozarna which translates to Village Fire Brigade.
     PCK is an abbreviation for Polski Czerwony Krzyz which translates to Polish Red Cross.
     WP is an abbreviation for Wielkopolskie, an area in central Poland.

My appreciation to Tomalscy, the Solec Kujawski family who provided me with the document.  Thank you to J. Greenlee for also helping with this project.

     * Editor’s note:  # 38 and # 133 are transcribed exactly as they were listed in the original document, including words in parenthesis.
