| Tartalmi kivonat: | In the weeks following the outbreak of World War II tens of thousands of Polish civilians and army personnel fled abroad from the German and Soviet invaders. During the war Hungary received the argest group of refugees, with a recorded number of 60 thousand people. According to official records 12—13 thousand of them returned to occupied Poland in the first two years of the war, and approximately 32 thousand Polish soldiers and volunteers were evacuated with Hungarian help to France and the Middle-East. An average of 5 thousand refugees were employed for a longer or shorter period of time in Hungary. In accordance with international conventions military refugees were interned, that is, had their freedom of movement restricted. Their accomodation, social care and board was provided by the Ministry of Defense, while that of the civilian refugees by the Ministry of the Interior. With the help of the Polish health authorities the following treatment centres were organized for the refugees in 1940: a military hospital in Gy6r, a follow-up care sanatorium in the village of Letk6s, a psychiatric ward in Szentes, and a T. B. ward in Eger. The 21st Department of the Ministry of Defense, and the'9th Department of the Mnistry of Interior in a short time organized Polish committees which were concerned with the problems of the refugees, and often managed coordination work as well. In the internment camps workshops were set up to train joiners, book-binders, tailors and shoemakers in order to provide useful ways to spend free time. Courses in Hungarian, German, English and French were also organized. The participants could gain practical skills in courses in book-binding, driving, bookkeeping and sewing. The Polish community living in Hungary developed a multicoloured cultural life of great value. They had already organized schools for the children of the refugees in the autumn of 1939. Schools were opened by every sizeable camp. In Balatonzam^rdi, and later in Balatonbogl£r, two separate. Polish secondary schools were established, one for boys, and one for girls. Polish Youth Centres and Boy Scout camps were also organized. One of the most interesting features of Polish cultural life was added by the Community College and the Catholic Free University. Both provided instruction for adults. A considerable number of Polish students attended the Hungarian institutions of higher education as well. |
