The Hoover Institution Archives has received a large volume of personal papers and photographs from the estate of Czesław Kiszczak (1923–2015), Communist Poland’s last minister of the interior and head of security. Included is an album of photographs documenting Kiszczak’s 1986 visit to Cuba. The album, given to him by his hosts contains vignettes of Cuba’s tourist attractions in the waning years of the Soviet Bloc. The Kiszczak photographs and papers will be processed and made available for research in early 2017.
