Summary/Abstract: The Radom District was one out of four (after incorporation of Galicia – out of five) basic administrative units of the General Government [Generalne Gubernatorstwo, GG]. Between 1939 and 1945 in the biggest cities of the Radom District such as: Częstochowa, Kielce and Radom were available daily newspapers for Polish citizens published by the invaders. Their authors were deeply interested in such topics as: the youth’s living conditions, work and live perspectives. Needless to say, widely promoted young Poles’ situation in those days was completely subordinated to the Germans’ created propaganda throughout the whole General Government. According to it, German occupation unburdened Polish society of living in“old” Poland where hitherto maladministration of Polish authorities resulted inlarge-scale unemployment and in inability to provide wealthy life conditions for young people.
