MACIEJ LIBICH University of Warsaw ORCID: 0000-0002-8536-3315 TROUBLE SPOTS LEOPOLD BUCZKOWSKI’S WAR SPACES The paper attempts to reconstruct Leopold Buczkowski’s complicated war biography, which today remains the least penetrated period of his life. Resorting to the available sources, especially the ascertainments by Justyna Staroń, Zygmunt Trziszka, Jan Tomkowski, and Hanna Kirchner, as well as including Buczkowski’s own statements, the author of the sketch reconstructs the life of Buczkowski until the outbreak of the World War II: the history of September campaign of 1939, the years he spent in the village Podkamień, conspiracy, participation in the Warsaw Uprising, as well as after the war when he produced and completed Czarny potok (Black Torrent). Questioning for the unclear places in Buczkowski’s life, the author strives to restore the most probable train of events and points at those issues that deserve closer attention in future studies.
