Abstract

The aim of this article is to illustrate the manner in which the circumstances of the plebiscite
in Warmia, Mazury and Powiśle, held in 1920, were interpreted in both memoirs and poetic works
written by authors who participated in those events, and to refer to their subjective assessments
based on their own emotions. The memoirs of Jan Boenigk, Jerzy Kolendo, Michał Lengowski,
Anna Łubieńska, Karol Małłek and Adam Uziembło, as well as the poems by Michał Kajka, Michał
Lengowski, Alojzy Śliwa and Maria Zientara-Malewska are examined. This article uses relevant
historical sources. The presented examples clearly testify to the affective attitude adopted by the
authors.
