Abstract
This text is devoted to the fate of Henryk Wyszomirski (1921–2014), who came from Krasnosielec, a volunteer in the September 1939 campaign, then a soldier of the Home Army and finally, after the entry of the Red Army in January 1945, the functionary of the Department of Security in 1945–1947. He actively fought against his former colleagues from the anti-German underground, who in the new political reality opposed the Soviet domination over Poland and took up arms against the communists. By coincidence, Wyszomirski and the two victims of his spying activities lived in Sopot from the end of the 1950s. The article presents the scale of crimes committed by the security apparatus after 1945 in the Maków District, as well as attempts to cover them up. Additionally, it indicates where the bodies of local UB victims may be found. Wyszomirski was never held fully accountable for the crimes committed during his service in the communist security apparatus, except for his sentencing to 5 years’ imprisonment in 1947, for raping a detainee and appropriating cash. He died in Sopot in 2014 and was interred in the municipal cemetery there, as does the body of one of his victims. Henryk Wyszomirski was presented in the film Historia Roja, directed by Jerzy Zalewski, which deals with Mieczysław Dziemieszkiewicz’s ‘Roj’ (1925–1951) fight against the communists in northern Mazovia.
