The Soviet writer and journalist Vasily Grossman, upon entering the ruined city, described finding four Jewish and six non-Jewish Poles who had just left their hideouts. The term and the analogy with the castaway has often been made by Robinsons in their own memoirs, as well as by other writers. Dawid Fogelman had been imprisoned at the Gęsiówka concentration camp.

Ashton was finally rescued by the ""Diamond"", a ship from Salem, Massachusetts. In 1725 Ashton's ""Memorial"" - a short recollection of his adventures - was published with the help of his minister. Daniel Defoe is believed to have incorporated elements of Ashton's story into his 1726 novel ""The Four Years Voyages"

Published in 1719, Daniel Defoe's novel ""Robinson Crusoe"" about a castaway on a desert island has spawned so many imitations in film, television and radio that its name was used to define a genre, Robinsonade.
