Overview

Nothing special had happened on that day in the People’s Republic of Poland. The weather forecast predicted moderate clouds. Over 1600 citizens were born and about 600 died. A day like every day… Police reports, control protocols, complaints, letters from the army and to the prison and also to the newspaper or radio programme Fala 56, a poem by Father Twardowski taken off by censors; and all this under the date of 27 September 1962.
