Polish victims who died at the Berlin Wall: Franciszek Piesik and Czesław Kukuczka

At least 139 people lost their lives trying to flee over the Berlin Wall. Two of them were Polish citizens, Franciszek Piesik and Czesław Kukuczka. That said, the list of victims is not yet binding. Historians are continually coming across further hitherto unknown cases of death and are attempting to reconstruct the incidents.

[The victims of the Berlin Wall are commemorated in the multimedia website Chronik-der-Mauer.de, which was set up in 2004 by the Federal Centre for Political Education, Deutschlandradio and the Centre of Contemporary History Research in Potsdam. Information on those who died along with a corresponding list of names is continually being updated.]
