Helena,
The Hoover Institution, on the grounds of the Stanford University campus,
archives the Polish "Ministerstwo Informacji i Dokumentacji" (MID)
collection. This introduction to the collection by Maciej Siekierski
describes the origin of these records:
"The MID was the main information and propaganda unit of the Polish
Government in Exile. One of its units, the Research Section headed by Wiktor
Sukiennicki was assigned the task of systematically reviewing and
summarizing the testimonies of former Polish prisoners and deportees to
Soviet Russia with a view to document the entry of the Red Army into Poland,
the first weeks of Soviet occupation, the October 1939 elections, and the
consequent sovietization of the occupied territories. Thousands of original
Soviet camp release certificates, statements of survivors and detailed
summaries of Soviet occupation compiled by the Research Section for every
county of eastern Poland, make up about forty percent of the volume of the
Ministrys collection."
The nearly 13,500 certificates archived in the Hoover were issued by the
NKVD after the Polish-Soviet agreement of July 1941, releasing Polish
deportees from forced labor camps and other places of detention. They were
turned in to the Polish authorities when the arrived at their posts.
There are also nearly 12,000 questionnaires ("ankiety"), statements and
depositions of Polish deportees (as well as of some Polish prisoners of war)
collected by the Bureau of Documents of the Polish Armed Forces (Referat
Historyczny Polskich Sil Zbrojnych) after evacuation to the Middle East.
Regarding your family, there is a report from a Stefan Danilczyk, a forester
from Kosw Poleski (woj. Polesie). Also there are release certificates from
a Bronislaw Danilczuk or Danilczyk (son of Wasil) born in 1912 in Ladzkie
Szlacheckie, (woj. Stanislawowskie) and a Wiktor Danilczuk, (son of Feliks)
born in 1920 in Sverdlovsk.
Any relations?

What is an amnesty certificate? My father goes under the name Danielczuk
but I believe the name might be Danilczyk
