Robinson Crusoes of Warsaw - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robinson Crusoes of Warsaw - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The phenomenon of the hideaways was noticed soon after the Red Army captured Warsaw. On January 26, 1945, a bulletin of the Żydowska Agencja Prasowa (Jewish News Agency) reported that 48 individuals had emerged from hiding and referred to them as jaskiniowcy, or "cavemen". The term "Robinsons" soon became common, a reference to the fictional castaway Robinson Crusoe in the Daniel Defoe novel."
