Mieczyslaw Moczar (Polish pronunciation: [mj?'t???swaf 'm?t??ar]; original name Mikolaj Diomko, pseudonym Mietek, December 23, 1913 in Lódz – November 1, 1986 in Warsaw) was a Polish communist who played a prominent role in the history of the Polish People's Republic.
He is known for his ultranationalist, xenophobic and antisemitic attitude which influenced Polish United Workers' Party politics in the late 1960s.
During this time, General Moczar and his supporters challenged general secretary Wladyslaw Gomulka's authority. He was heavily involved in the March 1968 events in Poland against Polish Jews, in which he led the faction of hardliners inside the Communist Party.
