Skórcz

Skórcz [skurt͡ʂ] (German: Skurz, 1942-45: Großwollental) is a town in Starogard County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland, with 3,609 inhabitants (2017).

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in 1939, Skórcz was occupied by Germany.

[2] In 1942, the Germans renamed the town to Großwollental in attempt to erase traces of Polish origin.

In 2010, the first monument to Lech Kaczyński, Polish President killed in the Smolensk air disaster, was unveiled in Skórcz.

Skórcz is home to the headquarters, production plant and distribution center of Iglotex, one of Poland's major producers and distributors of frozen foods.
