?adds that Marcin was released from Nandya on 12 September 1941, headed for Aleksandrowka in Cza?kowska oblast. There is no mention of Vorkuta, and it is unlikely that amnestied Poles would return to forced labour in even harsher NKVD camps after their release.
Nandya was a source of labour, however, for the Pechora railway through Kotlas to Vorkuta. That may explain the references your uncle makes to Vorkuta – as the eldest male, he may have been pressed into a work gang on the railway, while they family stayed in Nandya.?
