The main character, Kazia \u0141obodziec, lives in Gr\u00f3dek Jagiello\u0144ski<\/a> near the city of Lviv. The very young Pole watches the changes in her immediate environment which result from the outbreak the Second World War. Particularly, she notices transformations in the relationships between various ethnic and religious groups which used to live side by side peacefully until that point (such as Poles, Ukrainians, Jews and Germans). When the war has ended, Kazia, her family and their neighbours are displaced onto the so-called Recovered Territories (which make up today\u2019s Western Poland). They must build their life from the ground up in the Lower Silesian village of \u017barek.<\/p>\n

The Displaced<\/em> is based on the life story of Kazimiera Miros\u0142awska (n\u00e9e \u0141obodziec). Although it focuses largely on the situation of Polish people forced to resettle in the Recovered Territories, the characters also include the Jewish residents of Gr\u00f3dek. Their holidays, such as Hannukah<\/a>, Purim<\/a> or Shabbat<\/a>, are mentioned, and so is the fact that the town\u2019s merchants are almost exclusively Jewish. The book depicts the Holocaust in isolated scenes (the establishment of the ghetto, Polish people sheltering the persecuted Jews, further extermination), sometimes enigmatically (\u201cJewish neighbours were vanishing\u201d [19]), sometimes literally (\u201cAll of them \u2026 disappeared in the camp in Be\u0142\u017cec<\/a> or were shot \u2026 when the Germans destroyed the ghetto\u201d [21]).<\/p>\n
