Fatal error: Call to undefined function isLitsy() in /var/www/html/inc_magicDB.php on line 425- Dr. Zygmunt Klukowski was a surgeon and the chief physician of the Zamosc County Hospital in the town of Szczebrzeszyn, south of Lublin, Poland. A veteran of World War I, the Russian Civil War, and the Polish-Russian War of 1920-1921, he also was respected as a historian. He kept a daily diary in which he chronicled the Nazi Occupation of his country in World War II. He also served in the Polish underground resistance. Because of the potential danger of discovery of his writings, he concealed his manuscripts, often changing their hiding place. This extraordinary document was published in Poland in 1959, shortly before his death, and translated into English in 1993 as Journal from the Years of Occupation, 1939-44. With this book, Dr. Klukowski became known worldwide as an important eyewitness to this period in Polish history.

Things picked up quite a bit though, when it came to his prison memoirs in the second half of the book. That's what made the book worth reading for me. Klukowski wrote about his prison experience in the manner of a documentary, trying to tell as much as he could, as accurately as he could. He wrote matter-of-factly and without self-pity. I had to admire the inmates and their various methods of coping with the terrible conditions.
This is a valuable book for those interested in post-WW2 Poland and the Soviet occupation. I think I still like Klukowski's Nazi occupation diaries better, though.… (mais)
