Samuel Djament (Stefan Drobot) Dossiers
A collection of documents from Stefan’s personnel file maintained at the Wroclaw Polytechnic. These contained information about person’s political views, attitudes, reliability, social origin (very important),
religious affiliations, etc. Presumably, it often contained incriminating material, if available, for possible future blackmail. These dossiers were maintained by the Polish Communist Party (PZPR – United Polish
Worker’s Party) in cooperation with the security apparatus.
Translated by Stefan's son Vladimir, who also provided his perspective of the contents.
