The German community in Hungary suffered many blows at the end of World War II and after it, on the basis of collective guilt. Immediately after the Red Army had marched in. gathering and deportation started into the camps of the Soviet Union, primarily into forced-labour camps in Donetsk, the Caucasus, and the Ural mountains. One third of them never returned. Those left behind had to face forced resettlement, the confiscation of their properties, and other ordeals. Their history was a taboo subject until the change of the political system in 1989. Not even until our days, by the 70th anniversary of the events, has their story reached a worthy place in national and international remembrance. International collaboration, the establishment of a research institute is needed to set to rights in history the story of the ordeal of the German community after World War II. for the present and future generations

Camp literature. Introduction

EN
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 contains a transcription and commentary on the account of Urszula Sosna recorded within the framework of the 9th “Oral History Grant”. The narrator talks about the Silesian Uprisings, the plebiscite, the incorporation of Tarnowskie Góry into Poland and the creation of the Polish–German border. In terms of her personal memories, she talks about school, work on the family farm in the inter-war period. She presents 1945 as the start of the war in Silesia which is associated with traumatic contact with the Soviets and recalls the deportation of the male population to the USSR, the necessity to hide in cellars, the repression of local civilians by soldiers and her own time in a labour camp in Kędzierzyn.

Tekst zawiera transkrypcję oraz opracowanie wspomnień Urszuli Sosny zarejestrowanych w czerwcu 2019 r. w ramach IX edycji konkursu „Grant Oral History”. Narratorka opowiada o Powstaniach Śląskich, plebiscycie, przyłączeniu Tarnowskich Gór do Polski i ustanowieniu granicy polsko-niemieckiej. Wspomina m.in. towarzyszący jej rodzinie strach przed powstańcami, szkołę, zabawę i pracę w rodzinnym gospodarstwie w okresie międzywojennym. Rok 1945 przedstawia jako początek wojny na Śląsku, który kojarzy się jej z traumatycznym zetknięciem z Sowietami. Przywołuje deportację mężczyzn do ZSRR, konieczność ukrywania się w piwnicy, represje żołnierzy wobec miejscowych cywilów oraz pobyt w obozie pracy w Kędzierzynie.

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.
