This article is a commentary on the texts of the Catalan exiles of the Spanish Civil War, developing the topos of Poland, which has been present in the writings of Catalan Nationalists since the XIX century. The analysis starts with the Historia dels moviments nacionalistas [1912-1914] by Antoni Rovira i Virgili, then follows with fragments of Dietari del primer mes de la guerra [1939] by Carles Pi i Sunyer, and his long poem Diàleg de les Verges Negres de Polònia i Catalunya [1939], to finish with the articles of César Pi i Sunyer (1939) and Manuel Serra i Moret [1947]. All of these writings, which idealize the Polish patriotism and the history of Poland and ascend it to a category of a myth, arose from the yearning for Catalonia and the awareness of the common fate of victims of the totalitarian Europe.
