English translation:recovered from the censorship [archives]

Explanation:
It seems that here one is talking about a document "found", "recovered" from the archives of a censorship institution.
RESGATAR, no caso = RECUPERAR = to recover, to find (and to publish it).

Many thanks. I think they are trying to say that they dug these documents out of archives, old files etc.

rescued from censorship / the censor

Explanation:
I wonder if this means that it managed to avoid the censor's stringent measures; in the sense of 'slipped through the net.'
(Not too sure from the context.)

Precisaria de mais contexto mas tudo indica pelo à que a censura foi resgatada.

Se o texto for brasileiro provavelmente se refere a um momento de repressão politico militar onde a censura foi altamente reprimida por anos, e em tudos os meios de comuniçao.

No dia 1º de Abril de 1964 o Brasil mergulha em uma nova fase da sua história. Durante 21 anos o país viveu um regime de governo militar, que marcou a nação, seu povo e suas instituições. Foram duas décadas de confronto entre forças políticas e sociais. Neste conflito ambos os lados, governo e oposição, utilizaram todos os seus recursos: censura, terrorismo, tortura e guerrilha.

redeem of the censorship or the censorship redeemed.

Explanation:
Ao que me parece o artigo fala do impacto sócio-econômico decorrente do "desemprego" dos censores. Desta forma, acredito que o melhor termo seria - redeem. Serve tanto para o impacto econômico quanto para a reabsorção de certos pulhas no seio amado de nossa pátria.
