Book "Okupowana Polska w liczbach" by Kamil Janicki, Aleksandra Zaprutko-Janicka, Dariusz Kaliński, Sebastian Pawlina, Rafał Kuzak, Martyna Grądzka-Rejak

A unique look at the war years. The lives of ordinary Poles forced to fight for survival, the activities of the underground and the crimes of the occupiers shown from the perspective of hard data.

How much did a typical resident of the General Government earn and what could he buy with his salary? How did the ration card system work, designed to starve the population of the conquered Republic? How many Poles were active in the underground and what were the results of the Home Army's actions? Finally, what is the bloody balance of the Fourth Partition of Poland - murder, displacement, looting and barbaric destruction?

The team at WielkaHISTORIA.pl - Poland's most popular history magazine - presents a panorama of the most dramatic period in our history. Occupied Poland in Numbers is a fascinating compendium of knowledge about an era when shoe shining cost the equivalent of one month's wages, one had to work two weeks for a kilo of sausage, and any day could bring round-ups and deportation to slave labor in the Reich. But also about a time of unprecedented heroism, when a full-fledged underground state was created on the Vistula River, operating in the shadow of the enemy regime.
