The album is intended above all as a tribute to the Nine Miners from the “Wujek" coal mine, who were shot on 16 December 1981 by a special ZOMO unit.

The texts are authored by Robert Ciupa, Director of the Silesian Center for Freedom and Solidarity, and Dr Bogusław Tracz, a researcher at the Branch Office of Historical Research of the Institute of National Remembrance in Katowice.

The album consists of photographs by Silesian photojournalists, including Marek Dworaczyk, Bogdan Kułakowski, Stanisław Jakubowski and Władysław Morawski. The chapters dedicated to the Nine Miners are illustrated with photographs from family archives, most of which are being published for the first time.
