The period of Nazi occupation 11.09.1939-21.01.1945
This is a unique and tragic period in the history of our hospital. The hospital director, Dr. Victor Ratka, who accepted immediately after the invasion of Nazi troops, the German citizenship and completely changed his attitude to the existing colleagues - doctors, other hospital staff and patients.
Ratka began to speak only in German and the vast majority of workers, mostly doctors, nurses and administrative staff, was released from the hospital, and some were deported with their families to the General Government. Replaced them by German workers.
From the beginning of the occupation, the hospital was a place of Nazi policy, a place of extermination of the mentally ill, in accordance with the instruction to the patient by killing Hitler. Selected patients were given an intoxication with chloral scopolamine, then loaded into the car with closed containers, so that the exhaust gases, which were led into the car, were not seen. gassed Thus, patients were initially in the woods at a distance of about 30-35 km from Gniezno. The graves of the victims of these brutal murders were unfortunately not found until now.
later extermination actions were also held with unknown chemicals. All were killed during the occupation the local hospital [inWorten: three thousand five hundred eighty-six] 3586 patients - Poland, German and patients of other nationalities.
