Biskupia Górka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Biskupia Górka (German: Stolzenberg, sometimes Bischofshügel) is a part of the city of Gdańsk in Poland. Historically, Biskupia Górka had important strategic meaning, since it is a hill very close to the main city.
On July 4th 1946, several members of the Nazi party who had previously worked in Stutthof concentration camp were publicly hanged for what has been described as "sadistic abuse of prisoners." Among those hanged were several women, such as Gerda Steinhff, Wanda Klaff, Jenny-Wanda Barkmann, Ewa Paradies and Elisabeth Becker, all of whom had been judged and sentenced during the First trial, at Gdansk between April 25 1946 and May 31 1946.
