Poland is a particularly interesting case of truth revelation and
transitional justice in a post-communist country. This is because
of the radical change of trajectory in its approach to dealing with
the communist past, and the profound effect this had on Polish
politics. The approach moved from 'communist-forgiving' in the
early 1990s, to a mild law vetting individuals for their links with
the communist-era security services at the end of the decade,
through to a more radical vetting and opening up of the communist
security service files in the mid-2000s. This book examines the
detail of this changing approach. It explains why disagreements
about transitional justice became so prominent, to the extent that
they constituted one of the main causes of political divisions. It
sets the Polish approach in the wider context of transitional
justice and truth revelation, drawing out the lessons for newly
emerging democracies, both in Eastern Europe and beyond.
