Mystery of denunciation of "Krysia" bunker uncovered

Article published exclusively online

The article focuses on the discovery made by the author concerning the documents of the underground counterintelligence operations within the Warsaw District of the Home Army. This archival material sheds light on the individual who divulged information to the German Criminal Police regarding the whereabouts of several dozen Jews were sheltered (within the "Krysia" bunker situated at 81 Grójecka Street), including the esteemed historian Emanuel Ringelblum. For decades, this matter has been the subject of speculation. The evidence suggests that Marian Nowicki, a construction entrepreneur, likely acted as the informant, with indications pointing to his affiliation with police structures. It is reported that Nowicki received monetary compensation for his betrayal, along with assurances of future remuneration as a paid informant. However, the subsequent course of Nowicki's life remains obscure. What remains unequivocal is the absence of any clandestine investigative efforts to scrutinize this betrayal, thus leaving the informant's actions unaddressed and unpunished.
