This outdoor exhibition, part of the DSH ON TOUR initiative, presents the private photo archive of Lieutenant Stanisław Andres, a soldier from World War II. The exhibition explores his journey through military service, Soviet captivity, and eventual participation in the Polish Armed Forces under General Władysław Anders, highlighted by his surname connection and amateur photography.
The exhibition "ALL INCLUSIVE. ODYSEJA PORUCZNIKA ANDRESA 1939-1947" showcases the personal photographic archive of Lieutenant Stanisław Andres, a soldier who served in the Polish Armed Forces. His story, though seemingly like many others from the WWII era, is given a unique dimension by his surname's similarity to General Władysław Anders, which may have afforded him a slightly privileged position. Andres was an amateur photographer who documented his experiences extensively, creating over five hundred photographs, more than three hundred of which have survived. The exhibition details Andres' mobilization in August 1939, his participation in the defensive war, his subsequent Soviet captivity, and his miraculous escape from a Gulag due to the amnesty following the Sikorski-Majski Agreement. His journey with the forming Polish forces in the Soviet Union is characterized as an 'odyssey,' hence the exhibition's title "All Inclusive." The exhibition was conceived by Joanna Kinowska, Michał Wójcik, and Tomasz Wójcik, who are presenting their grandfather's private archive to the public. The original premiere of this exhibition was at DSH on May 7, 2025.
The exhibition is presented at the Central Museum of Prisoners of War in Opole. Further details regarding admission or specific visitor information would typically be found on the museum's official website.
