Summary/Abstract: The article presents the fate of eight people who did not take advantage of the amnesty in April 1956 and continued to hide with arms in hand from the communist repressive apparatus. All of them were members of the Polish independence underground, acting in its ranks already during the German occupation. Reading the text allows one to get to know the nature of their activity after April 1956 and to answer the question whether it was of anti-communist or rather ‘survival’ character.
