	Lapanka - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Lapanka (pronounced wa-PAN-ka) was the Polish name for a Nazi practice in World War II occupied Poland, whereby the SS, Wehrmacht and Gestapo rounded up random civilians on the streets of Polish cities.
		The term "lapanka" carried a sardonic connotation from the word's earlier use for the children's game known in English as "tag."
		Most of these prisoners were taken to labor camps (Arbeitslager) in Germany.

		My grandmother on my dad's side (may she rest in peace) was caught in a "lapanka" and taken to AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU where she was placed in a group of people used for experiments (lab rabbits).
		Since there are no other houses along the way, she crawled for 4 hours in -20 degree weather and snow to her house to call my aunt (her daughter).
		My grandfather on my mother's side (may he rest in peace) was also caught in a "lapanka" in Warsaw and sent to a German work camp.

	"Neighbours", history or literature - Krzysztof Janiewicz
		From the testimonies of the Jewish witnesses, it was assumed that it was the Poles who organised pogrom: armed with sticks (such as pieces of wood, canes) they dragged the Jews from their hiding places and chased them to Lopuchowo.
		But after further research of the sources, the extent of the Polish involvement had been largely minimised, and now it is said that yes, some number of Poles participated in this, but only because the Germans rounded them up (lapanka).
		Some were summoned by their names; some were picked up off the streets and in that way forced to obey the orders.

		I dont think people in the western countries have a clue about a typical german action in a town or a city caled by the poles "lapanka" (loosely catching action).
		Basically the germans and possibly polish collaborating police would drive trucks on both sides of a street, and disgorge gendermes or SS troops on both sides of a street.
		Also many times during a "lapanka" germans lined up men who had the wrong papers, were suspected of being partisans, etc, and simply put them against the wall and shot them.

	POLAND, PART 4 (TEXT ONLY)
		They sold precious supplies and identity papers, but they were always dangerous and unreliable.
		An intense solidarity developed among Poles, who devised elaborate alarm systems and code-words to warn each other of nearby Germans or of a lapanka (round-up) in the next street.
		The exception was the odious class of Jew-hunters, who made a living by spotting and flmailing Jews who had escaped from the ghettos and were trying to pass themselves on as gentiles.

		If the wrong person was shot, it was just too bad.
		While one was walking through the streets, one often heard people walking in the opposite direction saying “Lapanka” or “Careful.” It was advisable to turn back if one heard the warning.
		I had to travel to school changing streetcars three times.

		The new identity cards turned out to be very good--they passed the test.
		One day, the wife of Lieutenant-Colonel Rostwosuski contacted my office to let me know not to spend the night at home, because her husband was arrested during a street roundup (lapanka) and would be interrogated by the Gestapo that night.
		Luckily the next day, she advised me that he had already been released on the basis of a previously issued identity card (as I recall, it was issued to an "agricultural engineer" from an estate somewhere in Podole).
