title: Resistance to Authoritarianism in Poland's Recovered Territories, 1945-1950
abstract: In the aftermath of World War II, Poland underwent a number of radical changes, not least of which were the imposition of a communist-dominated government and the annexation of the “Recovered Territories” from Germany. Throughout the postwar period, resistance to the emerging communist regime was prevalent across Poland, but the Recovered Territories are often dismissed as the exception to this trend. However, it is erroneous to believe that resistance was absent from the Recovered Territories.
