From U.S. Relations With Poland:
“Poland today is ethnically almost homogeneous (98% Polish), in contrast with the World War II period, when there were significant ethnic minorities–4.5 million Ukrainians, 3 million Jews, 1 million Belarusians, and 800,000 Germans. The majority of the Jews were murdered during the German occupation in World War II, and many others emigrated in the succeeding years.
Most Germans left Poland at the end of the war, while many Ukrainians and Belarusians lived in territories incorporated into the then-U.S.S.R. Small Ukrainian, Belarusian, Slovakian, and Lithuanian minorities reside along the borders, and a German minority is concentrated near the southwest city of Opole.”
The Polish – Podlasie population data represent DNA samples from 413 unrelated European individuals living in Podlasie, the northeastern region of the officially titled Republic of Poland (Poland). Samples were obtained by the Dept. of Forensic Medicine in the Medical Academy of Bialystok, Poland; and by the Central Forensic Laboratory of Police Headquarters in Warsaw.
