This article presents an account of an anonymous officer of the Ukrainian Galician Army (UGA) from the POW camp in Pikulice at the end of 1919 and the beginning of 1920. The author focuses on discussing the living conditions in the camp, particularly from the point of view of hygiene. The camp was swept by typhus and dysentery epidemics, which killed several hundred soldiers and officers of the UGA. The account was written in Ukrainian, probably for the Ukrainian Civic Committee in Lviv and also in order to preserve the memory of the hardships of life in captivity.

Together with other professional jobless actors she rendered services as a waitress in a café U Filmowców and occasionally performed on a stage. However, in the third year of war she joined the structures of Polish Underground State and fought in the Warsaw Uprising in Battalion Sokół. Consequently Grossówna got sent to POW camp Gross-Lübars and the latter in Oberlangen. After the camp was released in 1945, she came back to the country to struggle with the reality of Poland ruled by the Communist Party.

This article offers an analysis of the representation of captivity in Ahmed Ben Mostapha, goumier. The novel, published by Algerian writer Mohammed Bencherif in 1920, was partly inspired by his own experience as a prisoner of war during the First World War. Relying on historical, sociological and anthropological sources, the article focuses on the protagonist’s experience as a POW in German camps and in Switzerland. It also proposes a metaphorical interpretation of captivity in the colonial context, reading Ben Mostapha as a “conscript of modernity,” conditioned by French republican ideals. Fi- nally, it examines thought-provoking analogies between colony and camp in Bencherif’s novel.

This article includes a terminological discussion regarding the notion of camp literature. Within Polish literary science, it is usually applied to literature raising the topic of German Nazi camps, particularly concentration camps and death camps, and, though less often, to Soviet camps, particularly forced labour camps. Yet the definition has proved to be excessively narrow. It should also cover, previously less studied, works of Polish literature regarding, i.a. the Polish concentration camp in Bereza Kartuska, the communist labour camps established in post-WWII Poland, and the Spanish concentration camp in Miranda de Ebro. The notion camp literature could also be applied to works devoted to internment camps, POW camps, or even ghettoes.

The text has been written basing on archive materials mostly from German archives (Central Office of the State Justice Administrations for the Investigation of National Socialist Crimes in Ludwigsburg), although references are made also to the works of local history enthusiasts. It brings up the issues connected with the creation and functioning of the POW camp Stalag 359 from November 1941 to 27th of February 1942 in Poniatowa (Lublin voivodeship), located in the buildings of the branch office of Warsaw Teleand Radiotechnical Plants, constructed as a part of the Central Industrial District. It describes the phases of the camp’s dependence within the military organization of General Government area (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, Kriegsgefangenen Bundeskommando V, Oberfeldkommandantur 379). It briefly outlines the most important figures (imprisoned soldiers holding work posts) as well as military units (Landesschützenbataillon 709 and 629) guarding the area of the camp. It also makes notes on the conditions in the camp. Moreover, it addresses the behavior of the local community.

Текст написан на основе архивных материалов (частично из немецких архивов ZStL Ludwigsburg), хотя содержит и отсылки к местным знатокам истории. В статье затрагиваются вопросы, связанные с созданием и функционированием лагеря для военнопленных (Шталаг 359) с ноября 1941 г. по 27 февраля 1942 г. (в городе Понятова Любельского воеводства).

В статье описаны фазы подчинения лагеря в рамках военного управления на территории Генерал-губернаторства (ОКВ, Kgf. BK. V, Oberfeldkommandantur 379), представлены образы самых важных солдат и воинских частей (Landesschützenbataillon 709 и 629), выполняющих на этой территории караульную службу. Также в статье показаны условия жизни в лагере и формы поведения со стороны местного населения.

POW camp Stalag XXA in Toruń in 1939 –1945 The medieval legacy of Toruń overshadowed the contemporary history of the city. The period of WWII occupies little space in the available literature. Thus, only a limited number of people know that in Toruń there existed a POW camp Stammlager XXA set up by the German occupying forces in 1939. The article presents not only the structure and organization of the camp, but also the hitherto unknown facts from the life of POWs in Stalag XXA Toruń during the years 1939 –1945. The author analyzed selected documents from the British Archive, publications and articles concerning the everyday life of British POWs. The analysis reveals an interesting picture of people who, despite serious limitations, cultivated their national identity through both cultural activity and sport. Events described in the article will undoubtedly help to understand the reality of WWII in the area of the XX military district where Toruń found itself.

Das Kriegsgefangenenlager Stalag XXA in Thorn 1939 –1945 Das mittelalterliche Erbe von Thorn hat die moderne Geschichte der Stadt etwas in den Schatten verschoben. In der verfügbaren Literatur nimmt der Zeitraum des Zweiten Weltkriegs nicht viel Platz in Anspruch. Somit ist die Zahl, der Menschen begrenzt, die über die Existenz des Kriegsgefangenenla-gers Stalag XXA, dass durch die deutsche Besatzungsmacht auf dem Bereich der Stadt organisiert wurde, wissen. Dieser Artikel stellt nicht nur die Struktur und Organisation des Lagers, sondern auch die bisher unbekannten Themen aus dem Leben, der im Stalag XXA in Thorn von 1939 bis 1945 inhaftierten Kriegsgefangenen dar. Die Autorin analysierte ausgewählte Dokumente des Britischen Archivs, Veröf-fentlichungen und Artikel, die sich auf das Alltagsleben der britischen Kriegs- 128 gefangenen bezogen. Aus ihrer Analyse geht eine interessante Darstellung der Menschen, die trotz begrenzter Daseinsmöglichkeiten ihre nationale Identität sowohl durch kulturelle, als auch sportliche Aktivität pflegten, hervor. Die beschriebenen Ereignisse werden sicherlich dazu dienen, die Realität des Zweiten Weltkriegs auf dem Gebiet des 20. militärischen Bezirks, dem Thorn angehörte, zu verstehen.

Po rozpoczęciu II wojny światowej w Działdowie (niem. Soldau) urządzono obóz, w którym przetrzymywano nie tylko jeńców wojennych, lecz także ludność cywilną, w tym Polaków i Żydów. Aresztowanych torturowano i zabijano. Od grudnia 1939 r. w obozie przetrzymywano przedstawicieli lokalnych elit, w tym działaczy politycznych, duchownych, nauczycieli i urzędników państwowych. Szacuje się, że do kwietnia 1940 r. w obozie zabito ok. 15 tys. osób. Pomimo że obóz funkcjonował później jako obóz pracy przymusowej a następnie jako obóz karny, to w swoim charakterze nie odbiegał od obozów koncentracyjnych. Z tego powodu byli więźniowie obozu w Działdowie są traktowani tak samo jak więźniowie obozów koncentracyjnych.

This paper covers events connected with the occupation and creation of camps and other sites of internment of the Polish and the Jews in Działdowo during 1939‒1945. On the first of September 1939 the town was attacked by German soldiers who gained control of the positions in the market square without a single gunshot. During the war in the area of the town and in the vicinity sites for internment of POW’s were organized, the civilian population of Polish and Jewish nationality. Arrested persons were tortured and killed in rooms of the house. Since December 1939 the Gestapo arrest was moved to the barracks where the activity of the transitory camp for the Polish began. Among them were priests, teachers, clerks, diplomats. In fact, this camp served as a place of extermination for all categories of prisoners, Polish political activists, displaced persons and Jews. The inhabitants of Działdowo and neighbouring localities were unintentional witnesses of these crimes. Due to lack of documents one can assess the number of victims at about 15 thousands victims. This action ended in the middle of April. The camp has been transformed into the camp of educational labour for persons refusing to work. Soon the camp changed its character as a penalty camp. Taking into consideration life and labour difficult conditions of this camp and high number of its victims, this camp has been treated on a par with the concentration camps. Therefore the former prisoners of complex camp in Działdowo have received identical benefits.
