 abstract={This article aims to recall Jadwiga Plucińska – a pre-war actress, during the Second World War, a secretary in the Warsaw office of Die Deutsche Wochenschau, and between 1946 and 1959, a director of some twenty documentaries and features for the Polish Newsreel, showing the social, cultural and moral changes first in Poland recovering from the devastation of war (especially in the so-called Recovered Territories), and then during the ‘56 October Thaw. Her career was interrupted in 1959 by her arrest and subsequent five-year imprisonment on a charge of spying for US intelligence. As a result, Plucińska was almost completely forgotten and erased from the pages of Polish cinema history, and her work, withdrawn from distribution since the late 1950s, remains virtually unknown.},
