of course I trust the commons people that they can work out this kind of
stuff, but I assume you considered that if this was during WW2, Polish laws
might not apply? (I am not even by far a legal specialist on international
laws, and to determine which law is when applicable, but it makes me wonder
though)

Durova, I'm very pleased to see this kind of image being featured, but
I'm wondering what kind of licence you used. Several of us have had
lots of problems with Holocaust images, forced to claim fair use
because of the age and lack of a release, but with fair use sometimes
contested too, because we often don't know who the copyright holder
is.

There was a long discussion at Commons about Stroop report images. They
were taken in Poland by an anonymous photographer and first published in
Poland, so the conclusion was that German law is inapplicable, and under
Polish law these are public domain.
