Amnesty of 1947
The Amnesty of 1947 in Poland was an amnesty directed at soldiers and activists of the Polish anti-communist underground, issued by the authorities of People's Republic of Poland. The law on amnesty was passed by the Polish Sejm on February 22, 1947. The actual purpose of the amnesty was the liquidation of coordinated resistance to the newly established communist regime. The promise of amnesty was not kept. Information collected during questioning of the "cursed soldiers" who had revealed themselves led to a later round of arrests and repression, including of those who stayed in hiding.
This was the second amnesty in Poland after World War II. The first one lasted from July 22, 1945 until October 15, 1945.
==The Amnesty==
The Amnesty was in effect for two months, from February 25 until April 25, 1947. There was no provision for its extension. The execution of the amnesty law was placed in the hands of the Ministry of Public Security (UB). The amnesty did not apply to the members of the Ukrainian nationalist organizations, such as the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, as were considered allies of Nazi Germany by the communist government.〔Philipp Ther, Ana Siljak, ( ''"Redrawing nations: ethnic cleansing in East-Central Europe, 1944-1948."'' ) Marek Jasiak, "Overcoming resistance." ''Rowman & Littlefield'', 2001, pg. 182. ISBN 0-7425-1094-8.〕 Throughout Poland, special "National Amnesty Committees" were formed, attached to the local stations of the Polish political police, UB. Each person who gave himself up as part of the amnesty had to give up his weapons, if he had any, fill out a detailed form in which he revealed the underground resistance group he was a member of, as well as his conspiratorial code name and other information.〔Ewa Blankiewicz, ( "Ostatni Lesni - Wystawa IPN" (The last Forest brothers - An IPN presentation). ) ''Gazeta Ciechanow'', March 2005〕
During the amnesty, from fifty three to fifty five thousand people came out of the underground and presented themselves to the authorities.〔Curtis Peebles, "Twilight warriors: covert air operations against the USSR", Naval Institute Press, 2005, pg. 44, ()〕 A further 23,257 persons who had already been imprisoned declared themselves members of underground organizations in order to take advantage of the law. All together the amnesty ended up covering 76,774 people. For the most part these consisted of soldiers from various underground organizations, such as Freedom and Independence (WiN) and National Armed Forces (NSZ), as well as deserters from the Polish People's Army, the milicja (MO) and the UB. According to official statistics of the Ministry of Public Security, 90% of all members of the organization Freedom and Independence revealed themselves, and about 60% of all members of National Armed Forces. For comparison, in the previous amnesty of 1945, only 30,217 persons left the underground resistance many of whom soon returned to actively fighting the communist government.
