Aleksander Lasik

Aleksander Lasik (born 1953) is a Polish historian specializing in the history of the Schutzstaffel (SS) within German concentration camps. A professor at the Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz, he has worked as an historian for Poland's Institute of National Remembrance.

Lasik is known, in particular, for having helped to compile a database, which he started in 1982 when he was writing his PhD, of 25,000 names of those who staffed concentration camps in German-occupied Poland during the Holocaust. The list includes 9,686 names of personnel at the Auschwitz concentration camp. The Institute of National Remembrance added the database to its website in 2017.

Lasik obtained his PhD in 1988 from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. He was one of the historical consultants for the BBC series ''Auschwitz: The Nazis and "The Final Solution"'' (2005). Provided by Wikipedia
