Abstract
This article presents fragments of “police chronicles” edited by members of the Polish underground in Warsaw during 1942–1944. Nowadays stored in the Central Archive of Modern Records in Warsaw, these unique records were produced on the basis of daily reports submitted by informers to the blue police and Kripo. They contain detailed information mostly regarding common crime in Warsaw and the activity of the Polish and German police. The article presents a selection of all entries with a Jewish context which could be found in those documents. The topics include: murders of Jews, their apprehension by the police, denunciations, extortion, robberies, arrests of Polish helpers, etc. The figures regarding apprehension of Jews in April 1943 by Polish police are of particular importance.
