Today\u2019s Visitors\u2019 Centre of the Enigma Cipher Centre was during the time of the People\u2019s Republic of Poland a meeting room of the executives of the Workers\u2019 Party, a body of a dozen or so members in charge of the ongoing operation of the regional headquarters. Selected by the regional committee, the group included e.g. chair of the Regional National Council, head of the Regional Public Security Bureau, first secretary of the Pozna\u0144 Committee of the Party, a representative of the H. Cegielski Factory, etc. The executives discussed personnel and current issues, e.g. social unrest, and controlled the implementation of the Committee\u2019s resolutions and the work of the secretaries of particular departments. When the premises were used by the AMU Faculty of History, this was the grand Room 118, the venue of e.g. Faculty Council meetings, lectures by invited guests and Ph.D. defences.<\/p>\n
