Archival History

Archiwum Akt Nowych

Acquisition

Forms part of the Claims Conference International Holocaust Documentation Archive at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. This archive consists of documentation whose reproduction and/or acquisition was made possible with funding from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany.

Source of acquisition is the Archiwum Akt Nowych, Warsaw, Sygn. 207 (old) and Sygn. 1329 (new). The collection was kept until 1990 in the Central Archives of the Komitet Centralny Polskiej Zjednoczonej Partii Robotniczej–KCPZPR (Central Committee of the Polish United Workers’ Party). The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives received the collection via the United States Holocaust Museum International Archives Project in Jan. 2002.

Scope and Content

Contains records of the Narodowe Sily Zbrojne (NSZ), a Polish military organization established in September 1942 as a union of some underground groups including Narodowy Zwiazek Wojskowy (National Military Union) and Zwiazek Jaszczurczy (The Lizard Union). One component of the NSZ joined the Armia Krajowa (Home Army) as a result of an agreement made on March 7, 1944; another component of the so-called Brygada Świętokrzyska (The Holy Cross Brigade) moved to Western Europe with German permission. Some groups of NSZ remained active after the war, fighting against the new Communist regime.
