The economic strike of Poznań workers on 28 June 1956, which changed into armed riots, involved 57 fatalities and about 650 injured victims. As a result of those events over 800 people were detained, some of whom were let free immediately after the interrogation. 323 persons were arrested and their cases were investigated. Eventually, 51 bills of indictment were prepared for 134 persons. Only three trials were successfully carried out and they received the following names coming from the number of defendants – “the trial of three”, “the trial of nine” and “the trial of ten”. The Poznań trials got a lot of publicity not only in Poland but also internationally. They were broadcast by journalists of the most important agencies and newspapers. At home the trials of the participants in the Poznań 1956 protests were broadly commented on, discussed, and they gave rise to numerous mass meetings, stoppages at work, gatherings, protests. In the case of Gdańsk there exists only fragmentary information in literature concerning the reactions and feelings among Polish society. The article partly fills in this gap. It presents documents from the collection of the Bureau of Provision and Archivization of Documents in the Institute of National Remembrance in Warsaw. They are probably taken from a series of documents generated in 1956 by the Gdańsk Office of Public Security, some of which were found in Warsaw. The article may become the starting point for more thorough research on the October trials in Pomerelia (Gdańsk Pomerania) and reactions of people to the events in 1956.
