Abstract

Refugees’ Troubles or Trouble with Refugees? The DPS as Featured in the Polish Daily & Soldier’s Daily between 1945 and 1948 The article presents issue of the Polish displaced persons on the territory of the former Third Reich in light of coverage in the The Polish Daily & Soldier’s Daily newspaper (Dziennik Polski i Dziennik Żołnierza – DPDŻ). The author of this article verifies this journalistic representation, which wasn’t in line with reality. Journalists wrote about such topics as material conditions in the DP camps, possibilities of cultural activities in camps and attitudes of camp authorities towards the DPs. The newspaper criticised the UNRRA which it regarded as a proponent of compulsory repatriation. This and other opinions have been confronted with the actual state of research. Another question raised by the newspaper was one concerning the international efforts taken to solve problem of the displaced persons. DPDŻ’s journalists were against Moscow and its satellites states, which sought to repatriate all the DPs.
