Abstract

This article discusses the circumstances and conditions of the stay of interned Ukrainian soldiers in the camp in Kalisz from 1921–1924. Thanks to an extensive search, it was established that in the initial period the internees struggled with serious difficulties in subsistence, caused by a lack of material resources. Despite this, the soldiers tried to promote cultural and educational activities, including the organization of many didactic groups, both with a military specialization and also a general educational nature. An important part of everyday life in the camp was the activity of cultural and artistic groups, whose performances contributed to the spiritual unity of the Ukrainian soldiers. The functioning of educational and cultural arms was possible thanks to the aid that came from international charitable organizations as well as donations from Ukrainian benefactors. Thanks to this humanitarian support, the internees were also able to adapt to new living conditions in exile, and some of them, after learning a new occupation, even managed to find work in Poland. Throughout its existence, the Kalisz camp also played the role of a centre of military organization for the interned Ukrainian soldiers, where the traditions of the UNR Army were nurtured.
