Abstract:The Citizens’ Committee for the Reconstruction of Warsaw was established in London at the end of 1944. It was to coordinate emigration works for the reconstruction of the capital city of Poland. Its operations, closely related to the Polish government in exile, although formally independent, were of propagandist nature – they testified to the continued influence of the emigration government in London upon the country. Despite the commitment of government members (i.a. Prime Minister Tomasz Arciszewskiego), the final result was only a pamphlet about the city and the so-called London plan of reconstruction, preserved in a manuscript.
