The first publication of the Institute of National Remembrance is the effect of the work of 25 authors: historians, lawyers of the Universities of Warsaw and Silesia as well as the Catholic University of Lublin, Head Commission for the Investigation of Crimes against the Polish Nation (and its Bydgoszcz, Koszalin, Lublin, Olsztyn, Rzeszów and Szczecin offices), Central Archive of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Higher Police School in Szczytno.
This book was published as a follow up of four scientific conferences organized in 1999 by the Head Commission for the Investigation of Crimes against the Polish Nation and includes the remarkable contribution of the Head Commission's Director Witold Kulesza. The Institute of Social Prophylactics and Re-socialization of the Warsaw University was a co-organiser of the
conferences.
The authors present the following
issues:
-
reception of the Soviet legal institutions of the Stalinist period and adjustment of the legal system to the needs of the totalitarian state in
Poland;
-
legal and quasi-legal practice of applying political repression against members of independence
organizations, clergy, peasants, penitentiary officials and other social
groups;
-
structure, personnel and activities of the regional army prosecutors and delegations of the Special Commission for the Fight against Corruption and Economic
Sabotage;
-
areas of cooperation of the public security apparatus and administration of
justice.
This publication is based on sources containing names of the justice department officials guilty of issuing criminal sentences in various regions of
Poland. It illustrates the method of repression applied against the political opponents and the totalitarian system's
foes.
