Żeby nie było śladów

In May 1983 Grzegorz Przemyk, who had just passed his school-leaving exams, was beaten to death by militiamen. During the investigation and trial, the authorities did everything to divert attention from the police and blame the ambulance men and doctors. The book follows the case from his arrest on Castle Square onwards, and the stories of his mother, the poet Barbara Sadowska, his father, his friends, the witnesses and the wrongly accused paramedics. It reveals the roles of Jaruzelski, Kiszczak and Urban in the cover-up and the failure of free Poland to punish anyone.
