Bloody Sunday in Bydgoszcz
Bloody Sunday in Bydgoszcz was a tragic event from the beginning of World War II, during which German soldiers carried out mass murders of civilians. On September 3, 1939, just two days after the German invasion of Poland, between 300 and 1,200 people were murdered in Bydgoszcz, including members of Polish intelligentsia and the Jewish community. This event was one of the first acts of Nazi terror against civilians during World War II.
