Personal accounts are an important source of information concerning everyday life. However, reports from the occupation period yield very little information regardingday to day mundanity, or any of its specific aspects. Those who wrotedown their war fortunes were focused mostly on stories of martyrdom or underground operationsdirected against the occupiers or on the differences in living under occupation and before the war, rather than on the things that had not changed. Everyday life during war time usually provided the background for the events which the authors found worthy of mention. The author analyzes the factors that influenced the underemphasis of everyday life in various memoirs, such as the sex and age of the authors, their sense of belonging to the local society as well as – first and foremost – the timewhen the memoirs were written. The study material comprises accounts of persons who spent the whole or part of the occupation in Cracow.
