Summary/Abstract: A Publication of the Central Committee of the Polish United Workers’ [Communist] Party. Translator’s note: Fołks-Sztyme was an Yiddish-language newspaper published by the Polish United Workers’ Party. PUWP had a monopoly on power in Soviet-occupied Poland. Czesław Kaczmarek was a Roman Catholic bishop arrested in 1951, tried and sentenced in 1953 for ‘spying and sabotage,’ and ‘rehabilitated’ in 1990. His trial marked the intensification of a campaign of terror against those ranking members of the Catholic clergy who were perceived as the most reluctant to submit to the dictates of the Soviet-controlled state. In September 1953, Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski was arrested. Stefan Staszewski’s parents perished in Treblinka. A reproduction of the original document can be found on page 551.
