Jedenaście z dwudziestu czterech. O zapomnianych „Opowiadaniach oświęcimskich” Marii Zarębińskiej-Broniewskiej
Eleven Out of Twenty-Four. On Forgotten „Opowiadania oświęcimskie” (Auschwitz stories) by Maria Zarębińska-Broniewska

Summary/Abstract: Opowiadania oświęcimskie (Auschwitz stories) by Maria Zarębińska-Broniewska was first published in a book version in 1948. All the texts included in the book, however, had been written earlier. First of them were initially released in a daily Polska Zbrojna (Armed Poland) in early June 1945, just a few days after the author’s return from a concentration camp. They were one of the first accounts which concerned women’s concentration camps. The book which was published later included nine out of eleven short stories written by Zarębińska. There is also an extant manuscript a novel’s synopsis. However, a very ambitious project of creating tens of short stories was not completed due to the author’s death. This article is a description of the history of Auschwitz stories and their particular editions; it also includes two forgotten stories which were not included in published collections.
