Opis:: The Road to Nuremberg. The Genesis of Judiciary Settling Accounts with Crimes of the Third Reich The first reported court trials for war crimes concerned offenses committed during the American Civil War (1861–1865). After World War I, the victorious nations of the Entente attempted to put the former German Emperor Wilhelm II and other German military leaders responsible for particularly drastic crimes. The former ruler took refuge in the Netherlands, which refused to extradite him, and the Reich Tribunal in Leipzig held a number of trials under heavy pressure from the victorious coalition. The majority of them led to acquittals or exceptionally short sentences, which resulted in the Leipzig process being labelled a travesty of justice; during World War II the allies regarded it as a negative experience which they should avoid repeating at all costs. During the period 1919–1920 several dozen trials concerning the slaughter of Armenians were held in Turkey by Turkish and British authorities, but they were equally inadequate for the scale of the crimes committed involving the murder of almost a million people. The anti-Hitler coalition thus could not draw on any real examples from the past when seeking to account for the crimes of the Third Reich and its allies, nor were there any international legal regulations or institutional solutions that they could look to. The first action taken to document the crimes committed in occupied countries were undertaken by governments-in-exile in London, primarily that of the Republic of Poland. It was pressure from that as well as other governments as well as others which led to the formation of the War Crimes Commission in October 1943, which developed a new legal concept and category: crimes against humanity. It turned out to be key in enforcing liability for crimes against civilians; it was invoked during the Nuremberg trials, and is also applied in many contemporary criminal proceedings. The first joint Allied commitment to prosecuting war crimes was the Moscow Declaration of 1 November 1943, but even after its adoption there were serious disagreements among the allies as to how this should be done. Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, was opposed to the creation of an international tribunal, citing the different legal systems of the Allies and the fiasco of the Leipzig trials following World War I; he was a supporter of summarily executing the leaders of the Third Reich and fascist Italy. The legal framework of the post-war trials was only developed during the closing months of the war, with American politicians and lawyers playing a key role. Their contribution was to base the most important post-war trials on three pillars: the categories of crimes against humanity, crimes against peace and the charge of conspiracy to commit crimes (a direct transplant from the American legal system). The trials held before the International Military Tribunal, held in Nuremberg from 20 November to 1 October 1946, were an attempt, unprecedented in the history of civilization, by the international community to bring to justice the leaders of a defeated state to justice for their crimes. In spite of the numerous criticism levelled against various aspects of the Nuremberg trials, it ultimately became a point of reference and an example for later attempts at placing political and military leaders on trial for their crimes.

Opis:: The author reconstructs one of the largest operations undertaken by the Security Service in sixties. It was a part of various activities of communist authorities to limit contacts of Polish citizens with the West and Polish emigration. On of the most fiercely fought enemies was Radio Free Europe, which was successfully breaking the information monopoly of the Polish communist authorities. In 1963 Władysław Bartoszewski, who during the war was an AK (Home Army) soldier and activist of Council to Aid the Jews, and during the stalinism period was imprisoned for many years, began conspiracy co-operation with Radio Free Europe. With a group of co-operators (who were also ex-AK soldiers) he regularly passed to Munich information about situation in Poland – repressions and harassment against the intellectuals, Church, opposition. This information was the basis of numerous important programmes of Radio Free Europe. SB found the traces of his activities in 1966, using the bug information and intelligence sources. Bartoszewski and his co-operators were kept under meticulous surveillance for many years, SB tried to intimidate them, enrol for co-operation, isolate in their environments. Help of Stasi and KGB was used. The most important aims of Security Service was to discover „transfer channels” (ways of passing the information from Poland abroad) and to fi nd evidence which would allow to sue Bartoszewski. They succeeded only in 1970, when his co-operators: Stanisław Salmonowicz, Danuta Bańkowska, Ewa Dreżepolska were arrested. Władysław Bartoszewski was questioned many times and the Service tried to enrol him. After his fl at refusal, the Service used their net of secret agents to spread rumours and forged documents, which were to discredit Bartoszewski as a professed agent of Ministry of Interior. Simultaneously a lawsuit, which was to be a propaganda blow against Radio Free Europe, was being prepared. These plans were ceased only after dramatic events in Gdynia, Gdańsk and Szczecin in December 1970 and changes on the authorities’ top. New Gierek’s team, who wanted to present their „liberal” face withdrew plans for lawsuit and released the three arrested people. Nevertheless they were still, together with Bartoszewski, subject to harassment and surveillance. Bartoszewski continued his co-operation with Radio Free Europe.
