Summary/Abstract: The pacification of the striking workers of the ‘Wujek’ coal mine on 16 December 1981 was one of the most serious crimes committed during the martial law imposed by General Wojciech Jaruzelski. Nine miners died from gunshot wounds and were examined at the Department of Forensic Medicine in Katowice, then headed by Professor Władysław Nasiłowski. This article presents Nasiłowski’s consolidated report of those examinations and selected recollections of staff members previously dispersed across press and online sources.
