Jan Gorecki papers

Jan Gorecki was born in 1912 in Borucin, Poland (Kujawsko-Pomeranian). He and his wife, Zofia Radzinksa (b. 1923), were Polish Catholics, and Jan was a conscripted laborer in Nazi Germany. Their son Stanislaw (Stanley) was born in 1944 in Braunschweig, Germany. The family immigrated to the United States in 1950. The Jan Gorecki papers consist of four identification cards documenting Jan Gorecki’s status as a stateless conscripted Polish laborer in Germany, former prisoner of war, member of the Polish Combatants Association, and member of Catholic Caritas for Poles in the British Zone. The papers also include an International Refugee Organization processing card and a World Health Organization vaccination certificate for Gorecki’s son, Stanislaw.
