WARTIME GUIDES

As part of doctoral research dedicated to the phenomenon of military cultural tourism, with a particular focus on prisoner-of-war camps, I would be grateful if you could complete a short survey. Your responses will certainly enrich our understanding of tourists' needs and help improve the tourist offerings and commemoration of POW heritage, not only in Toruń. The survey results will be used for research purposes. The study is anonymous. Thank you very much in advance for your time. Best regards, Paweł Bukowski Ładuję…

 It's amazing, but there's much truth in the saying that "time flies." The preparations for this journey took nearly a year. Visiting the designated points took just a few hours. Paradoxically, the years of captivity in the Stalag XXA prisoner-of-war camp can be summarized in just one day. Thanks to the collected materials, three brothers had the opportunity to explore the city and see the places where their father was held. Not all of them, because the preserved book of memories contains many more villages and towns where their loved one worked. It is also gratifying that the route of the Long March was described very precisely, allowing us once again to enrich ourselves with invaluable sources of knowledge from witnesses to the sad days of captivity in Stalag XXA camp in Toruń and its surroundings.
