Pierwsze dni stanu wojennego w Nowej Hucie
First days of Polish Martial Law in Nowa Huta

Summary/Abstract: My paper is related to the thirtieth anniversary of the imposition of martial law in Poland on 13 December 1981. It focuses on Nowa Huta, a large borough in Cracow which mounted strong resistance to Jaruzelski’s decision. I first discuss the way Nowa Huta’s opposition activists were interned on the night of 12/13 December 1981 to later describe the details of the strike and its ultimate pacification.
