Abstracts

EN

This paper presents 17 letters sent by Polish women, both adult and teenage ones, deported in 1940 from Lviv to the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic. Among them there are 6 gimnazjum (secondary school) students – authors of 10 documents, and three other persons – senders of 7 letters, probably related to the others or friends of the addressee. The later fates of those women are unknown; one may suspect that most of them survived the ordeal of the exile thanks to their vitality and returned to the home country, due to the “amnesty” declared on the strength of the Sikorski-Mayski agreement of 30 July 1941. The addressee of the letters was Rev. Dr Franciszek Konieczny, a long-time catechist at the Queen Jadwiga Secondary School in Lviv, friend of young people, founder and inspector of the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary for schools, chaplain of the Convent of the Discalced Carmelite Sisters there, highly regarded retreat preacher, expert confessor and philanthropist.
