Stanisław Brzozowski sent his Mocarz to the Henryk Sienkiewicz drama contest, organised on the occasion of the opening in 1901 of the Teatr Wielki [The Grand Theater] in Lodz. His drama, awarded third prize, deals with the most difficult events in his life: the embezzlement of monetary contributions collected by the student members of Bratniak, reprehensible testimonies given in 1898 in the Warsaw Citadel, and accusations of collaboration and intelligence with the Tsarist Okhrana. A hundred years after the writer's death, "the Brzozowski case" remains a sensitive question in the history of literature. I do not intend to defuse this taboo, stating at my own risk Brzozowski's guilt or innocence. I attempt, instead, to reveal the mechanisms of stigmatization current in the tense political situation of the Kingdom of Poland at the break of centuries, and to understand and interpret the Mocarz as an attempt at actively resisting social exclusion that deprives one of one's means of life

This study contributes the new research exploring cases of collaboration with the German authorities and the phenomenon of delators (denouncers), informers and agents in occupied Krakow, as well as letters of denunciation. Cases linked to the blackmailing at the beginning of World War II of Jews, and as the war continued of colleagues and neighbours working for the resistance and of disliked relatives and in-laws are also taken into account. Letters written by Krakow inhabitants – some anonymous, others signed – are appraised for information contained therein on political, racial, economic, social and financial matters. The article also describes the activities of the Polish resistance against collaborators and the post-war settling of scores through the Krakow Special Criminal Court in the early post-war years.
