Anders Collection
1. Cataloged material
The cataloged texts of the collection consist of two basis
categories: statements and reports (Exhibit A). Statements are per-
sonal narratives, accounts, and memoranda written according to the
individual judgment of their authors; reports constitute replies to
a number of various questionnaires (Exhibits B, C; Dv and E), the
majority of which aim at the gathering of documentary proof on the
behavior of the Red Palny and the NKVD in Eastern Poland; on depor-
tation of Polish citizens; on conditions of life in prisons, forced
labor carps, POW camps, and places of deportation; on the treatment
in courts of alleged offenders against Scviet laws, attitude of
Soviet authorities toward religion, the behavior of the Soviet pop-
ulation toward the deportees, and a number of other questions. Some
questions were dictated by considerations of Polish security, for
example, those concerning the behavior of Polish citizens while in
Soviet captivity.
Quite naturally, considering the sufferings, wrongs, and
privations inflicted by Soviet authorities upon all authors of the,
texts, considerable space in statements and reports alike 13 de-
voted to the description of personal experiences and complaints.
All the prisoners and deportees were acquainted with the blackest
side of the Soviet life, and the picture presented by them is there-
fore almost invariably a gloomy one.
The intellectual and educational level of the authors is
extremely uneven. Most of them were private soldiers and noncommis-
sioned officers of the Polish Army; lower-bracket employees of the
state, communal, and rural administrations; forest and frontier
guards; small-farm holders; land laborers; small merchants; and
artisans. Some were former owners of landed estates, teachers,
civic leaders, university professors, students, and priests. Dis-
proportionately few were army officers.
The overwhelming majority of all these people were forced
to work. Many were employed in forestry and agriculture; a much
smaller percentage worked attaining, railroad or highway construction;
and a still smaller group was employed in industry.
These two factors--limitations of the observers themselves,
and limitations upon their opportunities for observing things of
strategic importance--combine to restrict the immediate worth of the
statements and reports. nth the exception of probably not more than

several hundred cases, all information of practical value contained
in the texts has been included unconsciously, and could only be
combed out by careful study.
A typical example in Report No. 653, in which information
of apparent importance is given quite casually, without any elabora-
tion, while the thousandfold reported routine of camp life is described
in detail.
The cataloged collection contains 61,968 pages, of which about
20,000 pages are statements, and about 42,000 pages are reports. Roughly
10 to 12 per cent of the texts are written with pencil, slightly more
than 1 per cent are typewritten; the rest written in longhand, in ink,
on an indescribable variety of paper.
From the necessarily superficial perusal of all the material,
it is estimated that, after careful combing, fragments of useful in-
formation maybe obtained on the following areas; Vorkuta, Ukhta-Chiblyu?
the Kotlas-Ukhta-Vorkuta Railroad line, the Kandalaksha and Parley areas
on the Kola Peninsula, Naryan-Mar (Pechora) Harbor, the Norilsk4Oudinka
area on the lower lenisey, Nakhodka, Magadan, various gold mines in the
Kelyma River valley, Tashkent, and others.
The words "fragments of information" are used intentionally.
The situation in which the deportees and forced laborers found them-
selves made any systematic observation of their surroundings most dif-
ficult, even for those among them who might have had an understanding
of the advisability of looking around and seeing a little more than
their guards wanted them to. They always traveled in closed freight
and prison cars, were confined to a camp or working areas and had to
concentrate on how to survive under the most difficult living condi-
tions. They had no maps and could not make any notes. The only period
of freedom of movement was the time of their journey to join the Polish
Army in the fall and minter of 1941-42. They could hardly get the
proper spelling of the names of places whore they were confined. In
some of the reports and statements, even quite well known geographic
names are distorted or misspelled, and geographic directions and names
of oblaati are often wrongly indicated (for example, Northeastern
European Russia is, in a few statements, described as Siberia). Al-
lowance has to be made for this involuntary inexactitude, atich in
almost every case may be corrected by comparing a given text with
others describing the same area, camp, or enterprise.
The subject catalog (Exhibit F), although it organizes the
material quite well, is not complete; it does not have separate cate-
gories, for instance, for airfields and mines. The description of the
construction of the Pancyairfield on the Kola peninsula--reportedly
referred to in statements and reports throughout the whole collection,
because of the thousands of Poles employed on this project--is not
even indirectly mentioned in the subject catalog, nor in category 95a:
"Transport a-id Communication". The same is true of two airfields in

the Magadan area, and of the naval air station in Dudinka (Yenisey
Estuary). Thus, to be quite sure that no information of any impor-
tance is overlooked, one should not rely on the catalog. Each of
the 61,968 pages of the statements and reports should be scanned to
find those containing interesting material.
After a few days of practice, the reading of sometimes
quite unintelligible texts does not present any major difficulty,
since a great number of them are repetitious. It is estimated that,
on the average, one minute per page would suffice to find out whether
a given text contained any practical information. This would mean
1,036 hours of actual work if one person were called upon to do the
job, and probably no more than one-third of this time if a team of
two workers, both knowing Polish, were assigned to do it. In other
words, two workers would need about 45 actual working days to screen
the collection.
In my judgment, after the screening was completed, not less
than 5 per cent but probably not more than 10 per cent of reports and
statements mould be found to contain useful information. Should this
assumption be correct, from 3,100 to 6,200 microfilm frames would have
to be made (or half of that with two pages to a frame) if it is decided
to microfilm the material for processing by the Air Information Section.
From my awn experience, I know that the Stanford University photo-re-
production unit is equipped to handle 250 single-sheet frames per hour.
The collection as a whole is an unrivaled primary source of
information on the life in the Soviet Union in the crucial time of
Russia's cooperation with Nazi Germany and during the initial years of
the Russian-German war. Never since the early twenties has such a large
body of men left the Soviet Union. Personally, at least, I do not know
of any other collection of material on Soviet Russia written by tens of
thousands of men, women, and even children, of all walks of life, on the
basis of personal experience.
For a histerian, a sociologist, or a student of the Soviet
economic and political system daring the war, this material is of inesti-
mable value, since it gives a realistic behind-the-scenes picture of the
epoch probably most misrepresented by the Soviet ,and pro-Soviet wartime
propaganda everywhere. However, I wish to AVoid any overestimation of
the practical usefulness of the whole collection for the Air Information
Section's Abstracting Unit, and I would like to stress that about 50,000
pages may be found to contain no information whatever.
2. Uncataloged material
Besides the cataloged material, the collection also includes
10 boxes of various typewritten texts, with the following content:

Apart from the card index of missing and dead persons, this
part of the collection is thus composed of 14,639 typewritten pages,
mostly of large (commercial) size.
This material was perused by me in an even more superficial
manner than the cataloged part. The texts are: copies of and excerpts
from some of the reports and statements from the cataloged original
texts; copies of correspondence of the Bureau of Documents of the
Second Polish Army Corps, most of them of confidential netre; and
copies of correspondence of the Historical Bureau of the Corps.
Al]. the texts, although of diversified character and content,
are kept in good order. On top of the papers in each box:there is a
detailed list of documents with their numbers, dates, and a short de-
scription of content, all neatly typewritten, so that there should be
no difficulty in going through this material and earmarking anything
of interest.
Some of the typewritten excerpts are from original manuscripts
in the cataloged part, but the originals of other excerpts are not cata-
loged and apparently not available. As one example I wish to mention a
typewritten statement of 86 typed pages, found in box No. 114: besides
an interesting personal narrative, it gives quite a detailed description
of the Ukhta (Komi ASSR) crude oil mines and a fairly exact description
of a few towns in this slave republic visited by the author while in
captivity and during his journey to the Polish army. In the same box I
also found a copy of a secret circular of the Second Corps Command with
a very detailed questionnaire on goldmining in the USSR, obviously
written by a specialist or a group of specialists in this field. As
with subjects of similar or greater importance, a follow-up correspond-
ence with the former command of the Second Corps might be advisable,
since no replies to this questionnaire seem to be included in the col-
lection deposited at the Hoover Library.

Some of the papers in this part of the collection are of a
confidential character, reflecting as they do personal antagonisms or
misunderstandings within the offices of the Second Polish Army Corps,
in charge of assembling and classifying documentary materials.
Embassy Collection
This collection is uncataloged; because of the haste with which
it was sent to the Hoover Library in 1945, not even a general inventory
was made. The only restriction on its use by United States Government
agencies is the reservation as to the secrecy of names of people concerned.
With Mr. W. Smorakowski, Curator of the Polish collection at the
Hoover Library, I grouped the material of this collection and arranged it
in five filing cabinets as follows:
1. Administrative matters 3 drawers
(financial, passport and visa cases, Personal documents,
lists and card indexes of deceased Polish citizens)
2. Social welfare 2 drawers
(organization of relief for Polish deportees, circulars
and regulations, correspondence with Embassy's delegates,
relief institutions, orphan service)
Political matters 2 drawers
(Notes exchanged with the Nerkomindiel, memoranda from
oral negotiations)
4.
Radio and Press
1 drawer
5.
Various
1 drawer
6.
Deportees
2 drawers
(general matters, interventions in their behalf, complainte,
situation of Pclish citizens in various parts of the USSR)
7. Delegates of the Embassy for Relief and
Legal Protection 3 drawers
(Out of 19 offices of delegates only part of the documents
from the following are available, the rest having been
seized by the NKVD:
Krasnoyarsk
Vladivestok
Vologda
Arkhangelsk-Murmansk
Dzhambul

8. Lielidation of Polish relief offices
and arrests of their staff 1 drawer
9. Memoranda and reports 3 drawers
The size of the collection may be very approximately estimated
at 60,000 to 80,000 pages, of which only 3,000 to 5,000 are handwritten,
the rest typed.
The archives of some of the Delegates, offices, especially
those of Kraanoyarsk and Vladivostok, are fairly complete, and they
almost invariably contain the same kind of documentaticn: innumerable
complaints from Polish citizens pertaining to failure to grant atm-testy,
forcible issuance of Soviet passports, failure to provide the deportees
with barest necessities of life, arrests, unjust treatment in courts,
exploitation at the place of work, etc.
The papers listed under points 6, 7, 8, and particularly 9
eta= definitely may contain some information within the scope of work
of the Abstracting Unit.
The
1. Conditions of life of Polish
Kazakhstan (70 pages)
memoranda worth mentioning are the following:
2. Conditions of life of Polish
(29 pages)
3. Conditions of life of Polish
European Russia (50 pages)
4. Poles in Russia (about 400 pages)

6. Reports on the activities of relief transports
department of the Embassy (3 volumes)
7. Numerous reports on Social Welfare Activities
8. Religion in the USSR
9. Deportations from Poland according to administrative
districts

citizens in the Urals
citizens in Northern
Help for Polish Jews in the USSR
10. Materials concerning the formation of Berling's
(pro-Soviet) Polish army in the USSR, and many others.

The 3,000 to 5,000 handwritten texts previously mentioned
are similar to the Niteteraents" cataloged by the Second Army Corps.
I spent only two days on arranging the collection Et and' so was not
able to peruse separate texts, but I feel they might well be eoreened
for potentially interesting information.
In closing, I wish to express a special gratitude to Mr.
Sworakowski for the great help he extended to me in every phase of
my work, not only during his working days but also on Saturdays and
during several evenings.
