Nazi crimes against the Polish nation

(For information about other participants in war crimes, see World War II crimes in occupied Poland.) Nazi crimes against the Polish nation claimed the lives of 2.77 million Christian Poles, and 2.7 to 2.9 million Polish Jews, according to estimates of the Polish government-affiliated Institute of National Remembrance (IPN). Historians outside Poland put the number of Jewish victims of the Holocaust in occupied Poland at 3.0 million. The dissemination of knowledge on the subject of Nazi German crimes in World War II was entrusted by an Act of the Polish Parliament in 2000 to the Institute, which replaced the former Main Commission for the Investigation of German Crimes against the Polish Nation.
