CAPTIVITY IN INDIVIDUAL MEMORY

Summary/Abstract: The captivity is an immediate consequence of wars as well as death and injuries. Still, no status of war prisoners existed until the end of 19th century. This means that war prisoners and civilians in the occupied territories were at the disposal of the winner. The captivity is an important problem especially for the young generation because it is a part of the history of humanity and it is not an exhausted subject yet. This study deals with the testimonies of the former soldiers imprisoned in the ex Soviet Union. Their stories are related to the beginning of the captivity, first experiences with Russians, ritual of catchments, the way to the prison camp, life during prison, nourishment, medical assistance, work in the camp, escape attempts, propaganda, sexual aspects, literary preoccupations, correspondence, the way back home. Those who survived proved that miracles exist and faith and the strength to resist are more important than body condition. Their stories are incredible but entirely true.
