The Polish year of 1968 [Polski rok 1968] The phrase “March 1968” automatically brings to mind many connotations: student protests, the anti-Semitic witch-hunt, “commandoes”, attacks against intellectualists.

The youth had an essential place in the communist authority’s plans; therefore, it was mounted by an ideological offensive that included, inter alia, changes in education and the elimination of independent organisations. Lubelszczyzna of 1944–1956 is the summary of these actions. The reader may find the description of the underground activities run by youth organisations on Lubelszczyzna, as well as the operations of the Office of Security aimed at them.

Introduction: Paweł Tomasik, selection and editing Mirosław Biełaszko, Anna K. Piekarska, Paweł Tomasik, Cyprian Wilanowski

This is a critical study of 35 unknown documents. They inform not only about objectives, aims, and approaches of anti-Church structures in the Office of Security but also, what is more important, that they present in a different context a general strategy that is accepted by the Ministry of Interior. Those actions were aimed at the Polish Church and its highest hierarchies.

NE

Selection, introduction and editing Łukasz Kamiński and Grzegorz Waligóra

The First Student Solidarity Association was established in the spring of 1977 in Krakow. This Association was a response to the murder of a student named Stanisław Pyjas, probably at the Office of Security’s suggestion. He was associated with KOR (Committee for the Protection of Workers). The other academic centres followed Krakow’s tracks. The Office of Security watched nascent students’ opposition trends rather closely as a part of exposing the operational case – code named “Wasale”. ISBN 978-83-60464-38-0; Institute of National Remembrance, 2007, A5 format, hardback, 520 pages, volume 18 of the series, price PLN 40.00

The organisation Fighting Solidarity was one of the largest anticommunist opposition groups after 13 December 1981. It came into existence as the result of a split in the Lower Silesian Regional Strike Committee. It expanded quickly throughout other Polish regions. The documents that are published in this volume constitute a selection of the survived Office of Security files concerning the exposure of the Fighting Solidarity. They depict the methods of the struggle with conspirators; describe the successes of local SB (the Office of Security) and its general defeat at the hands of Fighting Solidarity.
