I'm writing a bio of someone who was in the math department at that time and he doesn't remember a lot of the specifics of what happened in the spring of 1968. Wondering if anyone here can help me out. Maybe there's a book on the topic- I can read in Polish (more or less)

Thanks!

There were student demonstrations around the country.
Read here in Polish.

# 8 marca w obronie relegowanych z uczelni Adama Michnika oraz Henryka Szlajfera został zwołany wiec protestacyjny. Odbywająca się na dziedzińcu Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego studencka manifestacja została brutalnie rozpędzona przez tzw. aktyw robotniczy oraz Batalion Operacyjny z Golędzinowa przypominający późniejsze ZOMO.

# 9-23 marca wiece studentów na Politechnice Warszawskiej oraz wiec na Uniwersytecie Warszawskim w Auditorium Maximum; strajk okupacyjny na Politechnice Warszawskiej od 21 marca) wspierany przez ludność Warszawy. Pierwszego dnia wieców oddziały milicji bezskutecznie atakowały budynek Wydziału Elektroniki PW,[3]

Thanks, that's helpful. Great site.

I'd like to know know what the fallout of the 6 day war was in Warsaw's academia- was there any indication of what was to have come later, in 1968, or not? I've read that in other parts of Poland people of Jewish origin were already being removed from positions in 1967. thanks.
