Archival History

Archiwum Akt Nowych

Acquisition

Forms part of the Claims Conference International Holocaust Documentation Archive at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. This archive consists of documentation whose reproduction and/or acquisition was made possible with funding from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany.

Source of acquisition is the Archiwum Akt Nowych w Warszawie, Syg. 203 (old), 1326 (new), and 80 pages of photocopies of the file Sygn. 203/II/142. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives received the collection via the United States Holocaust Museum International Archives Project in Jan. 2002.

Scope and Content

Contains various documents of the Polish Underground Army (Home Army), a military organization of the resistance movements during World War II. Established in February 1942 as a successor to the November 13, 1939-established Zwiazek Walki Zbrojnej (Union for Armed Combat), it became a part of Polish Armed Forces under the control of the Polish Government-in-Exile. The Home Army’s long-term aim was to prepare for a general uprising at the moment of Germany’s defeat; its operations culminated in the 63-day Warsaw Uprising in the summer of 1944.
