Abstract: Abstract Józef Stalin Enterprises — a cluster of factories in Poznań, one of Poland’s major industrial cities — operated with a precise schedule. The workday was supposed to start punctually at 6:00 AM. Authorities learned early that something had gone wrong on June 28th, 1956. At 6:30, the facility’s main siren blared and more than 80 percent of its workers commenced a strike. Their numbers swelled, and within three hours about one hundred thousand people had gathered in Poznań’s city center. The Poznań riots had begun.1
