Czy można mówić o działalności badawczej w warunkach nazistowskiego obozu koncentracyjnego? Uwagi na marginesie artykułu Andrzeja Prinkego

In 2011, Przegląd Archeologiczny published an article by Andrzej Prinke discussing the wartime fate of Kazimierz Gelinek, the pre-war curator of the Masovian Museum in Płock, who was sent to the Nazi concentration camp in Gusen, but saved his life thanks to the archaeological research being conducted there by the SS. This interesting story was presented by the author as Gelinek’s research activity. However, he did not take into account the fact that Kazimierz Gelinek was primarily a forced labourer from the beginning to the end of his stay in the camp, whose combination of favorable circumstances made it possible to prepare an amateur study of archaeological excavations conducted in the area of the camp.
