“It’s War…” The Civilian Population in September 1939

This bilingual album is devoted to different aspects of what the civilian population in Poland experienced in September 1939.

„A więc wojna…” Ludność cywilna we wrześniu 1939 r. / “It’s War…” The Civilian Population in September 1939

The book opens with two texts concerning the German and Soviet occupation of the Polish territory, but the photographs are the essence of the album, supplemented by interesting quotations from different sources: documents, reports, memoirs or even school essays. They give us a bird’s eye view of what Poles lived through in September 1939 as if we had participated in those events ourselves. ISBN 978-83-7629-069-0; The Institute of National Remembrance, 2009, A4 format, hardback, pp. 240
