details of death

After the end of World War I, during the days of rebirth of the independent Polish state, from 13.11.1918 a member of the Polish Provisional Citizens' Council of the Suwałki District, which took over the administration of the Augustów, Sejny and partly Suwałki districts from the German occupier.

On 11.12.1918, a member of the Council delegation to the Polish government in Warsaw, with a petition to include the Suwałki region in the emerging Polish state.

On 24.12.1918, during Midnight Mass before Christmas, survived an attack by German soldiers who first began to fire at the church in Suwałki, then burst inside, bayoneted their rifles and stormed the „praying crowd of several thousand”. Those who managed to get out of the church through the windows and jump onto the street, were shot at by the Germans with machine guns.

On 16.02.1919, elected a member of the Polish Legislative Seym (parliament) of the Republic of Poland (1919‐1922) from Suwałki — even though part of the Suwałki region was still under German control, and Lithuanians made increasingly loud claims to it. When on 09.07.1919 made a speech in the Seym, the Lithuanians seized Suwałki. This parliamentary interpolation resulted in the intervention of the Polish government to the Supreme Council of the victorious forces of the Entente in Paris, which on 18.07.1919 drew a demarcation line, leaving Suwałki and Sejny on the Polish side and ordering all other troops withdrawal from the Polish zone by 24.08.1919. That's what happened, but in Sejny on 23.08.1919, on the eve of the deadline set by the Entente, Polish youth disarmed Lithuanian soldiers, which resulted in the attack of another Lithuanian army unit and the murder of 16 Poles.

After the German and Russian invasion of Poland in 09.1939 and the start of World War II, after the start of the German occupation, abducted in 09.1939 by the Russians to the Vilnius region.

After return perished in Łomża.

Ribbentrop‐Molotov: Genocidal Russian‐German alliance pact between Russian leader Joseph Stalin and German leader Adolf Hitler signed on 23.08.1939 in Moscow by respective foreign ministers, Mr. Vyacheslav Molotov for Russia and Joachim von Ribbentrop for Germany. The pact sanctioned and was the direct cause of joint Russian and German invasion of Poland and the outbreak of the World War II in 09.1939. In a political sense, the pact was an attempt to restore the status quo ante before 1914, with one exception, namely the „commercial” exchange of the so‐called „Kingdom of Poland”, which in 1914 was part of the Russian Empire, fore Eastern Galicia (today's western Ukraine), in 1914 belonging to the Austro‐Hungarian Empire. Galicia, including Lviv, was to be taken over by the Russians, the „Kingdom of Poland” — under the name of the General Governorate — Germany. The resultant „war was one of the greatest calamities and dramas of humanity in history, for two atheistic and anti‐Christian ideologies — national and international socialism — rejected God and His fifth Decalogue commandment: Thou shall not kill!” (Abp Stanislav Gądecki, 01.09.2019). The decisions taken — backed up by the betrayal of the formal allies of Poland, France and Germany, which on 12.09.1939, at a joint conference in Abbeville, decided not to provide aid to attacked Poland and not to take military action against Germany (a clear breach of treaty obligations with Poland) — were on 28.09.1939 slightly altered and made more precise when a treaty on „German‐Russian boundaries and friendship” was agreed by the same murderous signatories. One of its findings was establishment of spheres of influence in Central and Eastern Europe and in consequence IV partition of Poland. In one of its secret annexes agreed, that: „the Signatories will not tolerate on its respective territories any Polish propaganda that affects the territory of the other Side. On their respective territories they will suppress all such propaganda and inform each other of the measures taken to accomplish it”. The agreements resulted in a series of meeting between two genocidal organization representing both sides — German Gestapo and Russian NKVD when coordination of efforts to exterminate Polish intelligentsia and Polish leading classes (in Germany called «Intelligenzaktion», in Russia took the form of Katyń massacres) where discussed. Resulted in deaths of hundreds of thousands of Polish intelligentsia, including thousands of priests presented here, and tens of millions of ordinary people,. The results of this Russian‐German pact lasted till 1989 and are still in evidence even today. (more on: en.wikipedia.orgClick to attempt to display webpage

Pius XI's encyclicals: Facing the creation of two totalitarian systems in Europe, which seemed to compete with each other, though there were more similarities than contradictions between them, Pope Pius XI issued in 03.1937 (within 5 days) two encyclicals. In the „Mit brennender Sorge” (Eng. „With Burning Concern”) published on 14.03.1938, condemned the national socialism prevailing in Germany. The Pope wrote: „Whoever, following the old Germanic‐pre‐Christian beliefs, puts various impersonal fate in the place of a personal God, denies the wisdom of God and Providence […], whoever exalts earthly values: race or nation, or state, or state system, representatives of state power or other fundamental values of human society, […] and makes them the highest standard of all values, including religious ones, and idolizes them, this one […] is far from true faith in God and from a worldview corresponding to such faith”. On 19.03.1937, published „Divini Redemptoris” (Eng. „Divine Redeemer”), in which criticized Russian communism, dialectical materialism and the class struggle theory. The Pope wrote: „Communism deprives man of freedom, and therefore the spiritual basis of all life norms. It deprives the human person of all his dignity and any moral support with which he could resist the onslaught of blind passions […] This is the new gospel that Bolshevik and godless communism preaches as a message of salvation and redemption of humanity”… Pius XI demanded that the established human law be subjected to the natural law of God , recommended the implementation of the ideal of a Christian state and society, and called on Catholics to resist. Two years later, National Socialist Germany and Communist Russia came together and started World War II. (more on: www.vatican.vaClick to attempt to display webpage
