2023 | Bartłomiej Noszczak, "Orient zesłańców. Bliski Wschód w oczach Polaków ewakuowanych ze Związku Sowieckiego (1942–1945)"
The book "Orient zesłańców. Bliski Wschód w oczach Polaków ewakuowanych ze Związku Sowieckiego (1942–1945)" won the Witold Pilecki International Book Award for the best historical reportage of 2023.
The evacuation of General Anders’ Army from the Soviet Union to Iran saved the lives of thousands, who left the “Inhuman Land” to find themselves in a new and culturally alien place. Bartłomiej Noszczak describes how the Polish exiles, happy to have regained their freedom, explored the people, places and nature of the Middle East in the context of the raging war.
Bartłomiej Noszczak works at the Institute of National Remembrance. His research centers around the Polish experience of confronting communism.
