Dąbrowska a sprawa katyńska. O naradzie, której nie było

Abstract

The article verifies two accounts of Kazimierz Truchanowski who attributed to Maria Dąbrowska, Stanisław Stempowski and some other people a significant role in Ferdynand Goetel's decision of returning to the place of the Katyn massacre in 1943. The sequence of events on April 11-14, 1943 was investigated in order to establish whether Goetel's decision could be linked with Dąbrowska. True, mythologised or purposefully false testimonies and statements were confronted. By analysing historical documents, Goetel's accounts and other witnesses' reports, there was an attempt made to prove that the meeting of writers who allegedly decided that Goetel should join the German committee visiting the place of the massacre, never had place. The conclusion about Dąbrowska's attitude towards the "Katyn case" was drawn on the basis of her journals and testimonies to the prosecution in October 1945.
