Niemieckie biografie chwili (1946–1948) – próba typologii narracji
German biographies of a moment (1946–1948) – towards a typology of a narrative

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents a little known German magazine coming out in the years 1946 to 1948 in Berlin: Monatsberichte der ehemaligen Kirchengemeinden von Landsberg (Warthe) Stadt und Land as evidence of the formation of adaptive identity of refugees – inhabitants of Landsberg who lost their land after World War II as a result of moving the borders of Germany and Poland. The discussion is an attempt to define the paradigm of a culturally closed narrative. One variant of this narrative, characteristic of communities united by grief, professed religion and idealization of life in a lost Heimat is presented based on the example of Monatsberichte.
