Pp. 15-47 contain lists of Jewish officers in the Polish Army who in 1939-45 were POWs in German captivity. Pp. 48-52 contain a list of Jewish Polish officers interned in the Vamosmikola camp in Hungary. Pp. 63-84 contain a list of Jewish soldiers in the Polish Army who were in German captivity in 1939-45. The introduction on pp. 5-13 notes that although many Polish non-Jewish officers harbored antisemitic views, their attitude toward Jewish fellow-prisoners was friendly.
