PRL wypowiedział wojnę własnym obywatelom | Czerwiec '76 [ODC.4]

On June 25, 1976, Poland was engulfed in protests. Workers from Radom, Ursus, and Płock took to the streets against drastic increases in food prices. The communist authorities' response was brutal – beatings, "health trails," show trials, and a wave of repression against protesters. In this episode, you'll learn the behind-the-scenes of the events the authorities tried to erase from Poles' memories.
