In the article “Janusz Warmiński and the Ateneum Theatre in the Documents of the Polish Secret Police”, the author has edited hitherto unpublished materials in the collection of the Institute of National Remembrance (Instytut Pamięci Narodowej) which concern Janusz Warmiński – founder of the Stefan Jaracz Ateneum Theatre in Warsaw and its manager in 1952–1996 (with a two-year break in 1958–1960). The articles analyses the documents, which testify that the secret police of the People’s Republic of Poland, the so-called SB, was interested in Warmiński in 1958–1970, collecting data about him in a separate personal file, case name: Homer) and in the Ateneum Theatre in 1971 (case file name Panteon). In order to complement the analysis, the author publishes secret police documents relating to the actress Aleksanda Śląska, one of the stars of the Polish stage of the second half of the 20th century, an actress of the Ateneum Theatre and Warmiński’s wife. Apart from the aforesaid documents’ publication, the article aims at analysing them in the context of Janusz Warmiński’s biography and the post-war history of the Ateneum Theatre.
