  • Lt. Col. Helena Wolińska-Brus (born as Fajga Mindla Danielak) was a military prosecutor in Poland with the rank of lieutenant-colonel, involved in Stalinist regime show trials of the 1950s. She has been implicated in the arrest - and in some cases death - of key figures in Poland's anti-Nazi resistance. From 1999-2008, Poland sought the extradition of Wolińska from the United Kingdom to stand trial in Poland. The official charges against her were initiated by the Commission for Investigating Crimes against the Polish Nation. Wolińska was accused of being an "accessory to a court murder," classified as a Stalinist crime and a crime of genocide, which is punishable by up to ten years in prison. Among other crimes, she allegedly organised the unlawful arrest, investigation and trial of, Poland's wartime general Emil August Fieldorf, a legendary commander of the Polish underground Polish Home Army during WWII. Emil August Fieldorf was executed on February 24, 1953 and his family were never shown the body. Communist authorities concluded in a 1956 report that Wolińska had violated the rule of law by her involvement in biased investigations and staged questionable trials that frequently resulted in executions.
