A project by the Institute of National Remembrance in Poland was launched to discover their remains and Polish archaeologists announced they found the remains of Sister Charytyna (Jadwiga Fahl) in Gdansk last summer.
In October they found Sister Generosa (Maria Bolz), Sister Krzysztofora (Marta Klomfass) and Sister Liberia (Maria Domnik) in Orneta.
And now the bodies of the last missing trio, Sister Rolanda (Maria Abraham), Sister Gunhilda (Dorota Steffen) and Sister Bona (Anna Pestka) have been found too.
Experts also unearthed crucifixes, ‘religious clothing’ and rosaries from around the remains, according to Live Science.

A husband accused of pushing his pregnant wife to her death after posing for a selfie with her from a cliff returned for a tribute photo months later, police have said.
Prosecutors claim Hakan Aysal, 40, took out insurance shortly before he killed his wife Semra Aysal, 32, in the Butterfly Valley, in their native Turkey, in June 2018.
Police yesterday revealed chilling footage showing her final moments as Aysal allegedly lured her to the cliff edge to kill her for the £40,000 payout.
Investigators probing his social media have since found he revisited the spot and posted an Instagram snap in June 2020 with the caption: A place that was once my paradise no longer has sun.
