Abstract
In the spring of 2016, a person came to the Institute of National Remembrance in Rzeszów, who wanted to hand over a find discovered in the attic. It was a box with a few dozen glass photographic plates and one celluloid film which presented photos mostly from the Interwar Period. An initial analysis of the find raiseddoubts as to whether it could be qualified and included in the archives of the Institute of National Remembrance. However, workcontinued because of a single film presenting a portrait of anon-commissioned artillery officer. Key information was found in the papers in the attic that led to the identification of this person, including: an accountant ledger of the Władysław Cichy saddlers company kept from 1942 until February 1945, a registration card and labour card from the occupation period in the name of Weronika Cichy, a few donations from various sources. After an inquiry conducted in the archive of the Institute of National Remembrance in Rzeszów, some investigation files were found concerning local saddler Władysław Cichy. Based on information included in the interrogation report of W. Cichy, we may discover this man's history.
