O Tadeusz Kantorze, etnograficznym rysowniku i o zachowanych fotografiach z Wielopola Skrzyńskiego w zbiorach IDO
On Tadeusz Kantor, Ethnographic Draughtsman, and the Photographs of Wielopole Skrzyńskie Preserved in the IDO Archive

Summary/Abstract: The text discusses an episode from the time of the German occupation when Tadeusz Kantor was employed for several months as a draughtsman in Sektion Rassenund-Volkstumsforschung (Section for Race and National Tradition Research) of Institut für Deutsche Ostarbeit (Eastern Research Institute – IDO), established by the Germans in Cracow in April 1940. Since this fact has been merely mentioned in the Artist’s biographies the authors attempted to add information found in German and Polish documents concerning the work performed by IDO. In doing so, they drew attention also to unpublished archival photographs taken in July 1942 in Wielopole Skrzyńskie and Glinik, which despite the fact that they originate from Propaganda-Amt could have something in common with on-the-spot research conducted by Sektion Rassen- und Volsktumsforschung.
