Exhibition on insurgents in captivity is in Pruszków now
The fate of the insurgents who survived the uprising was not always the same - about 17,000 of them were taken prisoner by the Germans, but some of the Home Army soldiers decided to leave the capital with the civilian population, and many of them later continued their underground activities. It is also worth noting that several thousand of the capital's civilians were first sent to the Dulag in Pruszków, and from there were transported to Lamsdorf, from where they were in turn sent to forced labour elsewhere in Germany. One such person was, among others, the poet and prose writer Miron Białoszewski, who described his story in his "Diary of the Warsaw Uprising". These facts mean that the presence in Pruszków of an exhibition dedicated to the POW epilogue of the uprising particularly justified.
The exhibition will be on display in front of the Principal Library in Pruszków at 13 Kraszewskiego Street.
