Skaza na portrecie – postać Zofii Kossak w relacjach byłych więźniarek Birkenau
Blemish on the portrait – the character of Zofia Kossak presented in the postwar accounts by female prisoners

Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes how the postwar accounts by female prisoners of Birkenau presented the character of Zofia Kossak, the famous writer and the activist of the Polish Underground State. The accounts are held today in the Archives of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum and were hitherto unpublished. They shows Zofia Kossak in an unheroic way, contrary to the published testimonies of her camp experience. The accounts are reminiscent of the famous article Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland published by Tadeusz Borowski in 1947.
