  • Summary

    In the early years of the Second World War, news of atrocities was often met with disbelief or strategic scepticism (British Foreign Office) due, in part, to the success of inter-war claims that atrocity stories during the First World War were propaganda. The Polish Government in Exile developed an information strategy to overcome scepticism and reticence to respond. This chapter explores how the Polish Government in Exile sought to inform the world of the outrages committed by Germany and the Soviet Union during the invasion and occupation of Poland through official government publications. It focuses on eight core publications including those of the White Book and Black Book series (published between 1940 and 1942).
