Maria Trzcińska

Maria (Marianna) Trzcińska (22 March 1931 – 22 December 2011 in Warsaw) was a Polish judge employed for over 30 years in the People's Republic of Poland at the Chief Commission for the Investigation of Nazi Crimes in Poland (''Główna Komisja Badania Zbrodni Hitlerowskich w Polsce''). She investigated and researched German World War II crimes in Poland.

Trzcińska was the author of a controversial monograph about the Warsaw concentration camp (''KL Warschau'') set up by the ''SS'' in occupied Poland. The book, published in the 1990s, presented a fringe theory which a decade later was definitively rejected by historians. Until 2007, however, her book was the only monograph dedicated to the camp.
