Were the polish people living in siberian consentration camps?

Question by Brianna Cloud: Were the polish people already living in siberia put into consentration camps?
In World War II …If a half polish half russian 20 year old girl were living in East Siberia, would she be in danger of being put in a camp? Also, how far east in Russia were the camps? All the way to chukotka?

Answer by Derek
As the German Army never reached East Siberia then the question doesn’t really make much sense. The Concentration Camps were mostly in Eastern Poland.

Answer by lakeqi
The only reason she would be in Siberia is because Stalin sent her there a long time ago. Stalin hated poles going back form the revolution and the civil war and generally regarded them as spies. This girl would have been a perfect candidate a mix with mixed loyalties. The Camps as far as I know were everywhere from above the arctic circle to Kazakhstan I don’t know if they were off into the archipelago, but they were probably everywhere else.

    yes she would be in danger of “preventive detention”. She might even be part of an “international plot” or some such. Stalin loved such “happenings” and anyone who could be labelled “stranger” was fair game for his masquerades

    To Derek: Surely this questioner refers to the Siberian Gulags, not Auschwitz or Sobibor. After the division of Poland between Stalin and Hitler, the Russians deported at least a million Poles to Siberian Gulags in central Siberia.

    You do realize that Siberia is right across Alaska right?. Germans were not even in the vicinity. Also why would Russians give up one of their own to the enemy?
