Śmierć Antoniego Słonimskiego w świetle dokumentów cenzury z 1976 roku
The Death of Antoni Słonimski in the Light of the Censorship Documents from 1976

Summary/Abstract: The archives cited in the article testify to the specific way in which the GUKPPiW dealt with Słonimski. It is noteworthy that, according to the censors, it was not the writer's work but his person that was most problematic. This is particularly clear in the documents produced post mortem by the office in 1976. Banned only a few months before his death, it could only have been a reprint of a PAP memo. The attitude of the censors towards Słonimski is well illustrated by the types of interference introduced, where the author appears as persona non grata, whose brave deeds in the fight for freedom of speech in Poland should no longer be quoted. Political allusions were scrupulously removed.
