„Polak w Afryce” o młodych i najmłodszych uchodźcach polskich z ZSRR w Afryce w latach 1943–1945

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to present what and in what form the Polish newspaper Polak w Afryce (Pole in Africa) appearing in Africa in 1943–45 published about the young and youngest Polish refugees from the USSR who reached the African continent. These refugees were located in the countries of British East Africa (i.e. Kenya, Tanganyika, and Uganda), in Norther Rhodesia and Southern Rhodesia as well as in the Union of South Africa. Almost half of the inhabitants of the Polish settlements were young and the youngest children, often orphans or half-orphans, and due to this fact the Polish paper devoted a lot of space to them.
