Aleksandrów Kujawski internment camp

Internment Camp No. 6 in Aleksandrów Kujawski was a Polish internment camp designated for soldiers of the Ukrainian People's Republic army. It was established as a consequence of the Polish-Soviet armistice agreement of 12 October 1920, the military defeat of the Ukrainian People's Army by the Red Army in November 1920, and the internment of the Ukrainian soldiers on Polish territory. The camp officially operated until 9 October 1921. Initially intended for three thousand soldiers, the camp housed 3,565 individuals at its peak within less than a year of existence, and over 3,000 internees for most of its operation. It was located in barracks built by the Imperial German Army in 1914 or 1915. The internees were mostly officers and soldiers from the 6th Sich Rifle Infantry Division (the largest group), the 4th Kyiv Division, and the 3rd Iron Division of the Ukrainian People's Army. The camp commander appointed by the Polish military authorities was Major Alfred Jogiel, while the internal Ukrainian commander was General Marko Bezruchko, who had previously commanded the 6th Division.
