Abstract

This article is a contribution to the history of the Heinrich Dietz orphanage in Bydgoszcz, based on biographical aspects of the history of the Sisters of Mercy from the Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy of St. Vincent de Paul in Chełmno in the years 1923-1940. The circumstances in which the Sisters of Mercy worked in the Bydgoszcz Children’s Home, studied against the background of the facilities functioning, were based on sources from the Archives of the City of Bydgoszcz, the State Archives in Bydgoszcz, the Archives of the Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy in Chełmno, and the Technical Documentation of the City of Bydgoszcz, as well as personal stories of the Sisters of Mercy who were taking care of orphaned children and carrying out educational tasks.
