Jakub Berman.Portret politycznego emeryta w materiałach SB (1966–1971)
Portrait of Political Pensioner in Security Service Materials (1966–1971)

Summary/Abstract: The PRL leaderships’ private life was one of their best-kept secrets. Hardly had they retired (voluntarily or compulsorily) form being politicians, when deep silence fell over them. Jakub Berman, who between 1948–1956 was the closest aide, collaborator and adviser of the PZPR leader Bolesław Bierut was eventually treated in a way as mentioned above. After being dismissed from the party in 1957, he officially stopped existing in political circles. He simply vanished and in consequence, he never faced trial for crimes committed either with his agreement or on his own initiative.
