Syberyjska zsyłka oczami dziecka, późniejszej mieszkanki Olsztyna, Ireny Moszczyńskiej z domu Bujko
Siberian exile through the eyes of a child, and later resident of Olsztyn, Irena Moszczyńska, née Bujko

Summary/Abstract: The narrative of Irena Moszczyńska is an example of the recollections submitted to the „Testimony to the truth” competition organised in 1989 by the Wojciech Kętrzyński Research Centre and the Olsztyn branch of the Polish Historical Association. The author describes the tragic circumstances of one of the first transports (February 1945) from Vilnius - soldiers from the Vilnius Division of the Home Army and civilians suspected of supporting the Polish underground independence movement. Moszczyńska recollects the scenes which have remained most vivid in her memory (e.g. the situation of a man in a dressing gown). The author's brother was among those taken away. He ended up in a camp in Donbass. The story of his experiences (escape and successful return to Poland) constitutes a significant part of the narrative.
