Granite stone with a metal panel has been a reminder of a dark chapter in German-Polish post-war history since 2005.
Wild expulsion across the Neisse on the road from Zodel over the Neisse Bridge to Lissa, today's Lasow.
SZ 05.07.2005: "... A stopover was in Lissa on the Neisse, which belonged to the district of Görlitz. "There we were totally liberated," says Bunzel sarcastically. Because the new rulers confiscated oxen and wagons on the east bank of the Neisse. Yes But that's not all, the flight in February was followed by wild expulsion in June: "The Poles chased us across the Neisse before the Potsdam Agreement was signed," says Siegfried Bunzel indignantly, even after 60 years too much. In July 1945 they collected the expellees and sent them from the Horka freight depot back across the Neisse in military trains. "We were back where we had been before. It wasn't until a year later that we were officially resettled, as it was in the Potsdam Agreement was laid down. So I am not only a child of refugees, but also a person who was expelled and a person who had been resettled", Siegfried Bunzel sums up his odyssey in the years 1945/46."
