[edit] Definition

Jadger removed informations, it's close to vandalism. There are sources quoted below.Xx236 09:21, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

There are Skierbieszów and Szczebrzeszyn articles, which can be linked in the table. Xx236 15:41, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Pacifications (with dates) and possibly, the number of dead victims, could be mentioned in those articles first. --Poeticbent  talk  16:36, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

People of Skierbieszów were expelled and many of them died in other places, including Auschwitz. Is this a pacification? It was part of Zamość expulsion. Xx236 07:30, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

The disambiguation page for pacification reads: "a military or police action to disarm combatants. In colonial times it often referred to the conquest and subjugation of a people opposing a colonial power, especially in the term 'pacification expedition', which may be used as a euphemism for war."[1] Yes, the expulsion of people from Skierbieszów was a form of pacification by Wiki nomenclature, even though no mass killings were taking place in that village.

pac·i·fi·ca·tion from yahoo.com distionary [2]

NOUN:

1.Reduction, as of a rebellious district, to peaceful submission.

2.Practical measures or policy aiming to effect this type of submission [more often than not achieved by terror, but partially also by deportations I suppose - Poeticbent].
