Cywilna ludność Warszawy w Lamsdorf (1944–1945)
The Civilian Population from Warsaw in the Lamsdorf Camp in 1944

Summary/Abstract: The article illustrates the history of the camp for civilians from Warsaw, deported to Lamsdorf /Łambinowice in the course of the Warsaw Uprising and after its collapse in 1944. The issue of Warsawian civilians, men, women and children, who were dwelled at the location – contrary to the dwelling of the Home Army soldiers, the German prisoners – has not hitherto been the subject for a separate scientific study. Notwithstanding, it forms a part of the history of the place of internment, as well as the tragic fate of the displaced population of the capital city in the fall of 1944. The author, due to the incomplete source database, outlines solely the history of the interim and primitive camp, indicating the basic threads. These include: duration of the camp, its location, terms of accommodation, nourishment, sanitary conditions and medical care, mortality rate, or the number of people who have passed through it. Since the second half of August until the turn of November / December 1944 it was about ten to several thousand of people. The most famous character amongst these people is Miron Białoszewski, a latent poet, prose writer and playwright, author of the famous Memoirs of the Warsaw Uprising
