The case of Brother Maximilian

Religious brothers were also involved in underground activities.   

Among those involved in the printing and distribution of underground leaflets was the Franciscan friar Maximilian (Eugeniusz Szelepinski), who received printing orders from, among others, Stanislaw Zolkiewicz, a member of the RKW. Our interviewees, including Jerzy Bonarek, Janusz Czarski and Wojciech Mikuła, talk about their underground cooperation with Brother Maksymilian.

The files of the case of operational crackdown code-named "Kolporter" from May 1982 have survived, which we present below.
