Abstract
The author considers autobiographical accounts of the women - Polish prisoners - sent to Soviet forced-labour camps, mainly to Siberia and Kazakhstan, during World War II. The methodological approach assumed in the examination consists in focusing on narrative details (for example, prisoners’ possessions), on the basis on which individual experience is revealed. The record of such experience is found in allegedly “objective” descriptions of the surroundings and everyday objects. This is tantamount to a turn toward micro-histories and individual memory. However, thanks to the juxtaposition of diverse relations there emerges a panoramic view: detailed and providing an insight into the realities of the life in exile.
