My mother was born in Danzig in October of 1921. She and her family came to the United States in July, 1928. I have a few photos of Danzig that were passed down. Is there somewhere to post these and is there an interest. I have one of their apartment in Langfuhr of my grandmother in the window. It is interesting and seems to want to tell a story. Thank you.

It was originally polish territory during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. However, the polish population was indeed fled Gdansk or Danzig after the Parrition of Poland. Under which the Prussian Germans heavily migrated to it, therefore it became a German city until 1945, with the mass deportation of Ethnic Germans to both Germanys in 1945.

@@luzak067 Dude, we don't care how many years Danzig was under Polish control. Today, most of the city is made up of Prussian/German architecture. The St. Mary's church, Neptune's fountain, etc. Just look them all up.
