Certificate of return to Poland from the USSR for a Radzionkowo inhabitant, Piotr Jasiok, taken there for forced labor several months before.

In early 1945, in Upper Silesia soon after it was taken by Red Army forces, many acts of terror took place that are known today as the Upper Silesian Tragedy. Among these, most poignant was the deportation of several dozen Silesians into enslavement in the USSR (mainly in coal mining).
