details of death

In 1920, during ministry in Narzym and preparations for the plebiscite, ordered as a result of the arrangements of the Versailles peace treaty ending World War I, which was to decide, among other things, national affiliation of Warmia and Mazury, which took place on 11.07.1920, an activist of pro–German organizations agitating against Poland —– according to other sources, agitated also against Poland in connection with the Polish–Russian war of 1919‑1921, which just then, in 07.1920, was entering a decisive phase (it was the time of Russian invasion ended in 08.1920 with the Russian defeat in the Battle of Warsaw, known as the „Miracle on the Vistula”).

Interned for seven weeks by the Polish authorities in the „camp near Kraków” (prob. in Dąbie).

After release, returned to Narzym — granted to Poland — but after three years, in view of the invariably unfriendly attitude towards Poland, forced to leave the parish.

Moved then to East Prussia in Germany.

After the National Socialist Party (NSDAP) came to power in Germany in 1933, an opponent of the new regime — member of so‑called Confessing Church (Germ. Bekennende Kirche).

In c. 1941/1 arrested by the German security forces.

Released however though his vicar, pastor Paul Pissowotzki, was sent to the Eastern Front (to the forces fighting at Stalingrad).

Perished at the end of the military conflict of the World War II, started by German and Russian invasion of Poland in 09.1939, during Russian so‑called East Prussian Offensive of 01‑02.1945.

Prob. left Biała Piska with most of the inhabitants — the abandoned village was captured by the Russians on 23.01.1945.

Perished during escape from advancing Russian army, together with his wife, in unknown circumstances.

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 Stanislaus 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

Polish-Russian war of 1919—1921: War for independence of Poland and its borders. Poland regained independence in 1918 but had to fight for its borders with former imperial powers, in particular Russia. Russia planned to incite Bolshevik–like revolutions in the Western Europe and thus invaded Poland. Russian invaders were defeated in 08.1920 in a battle called Warsaw battle („Vistula river miracle”, one of the 10 most important battles in history, according to some historians). Thanks to this victory Poland recaptured part of the lands lost during partitions of Poland in XVIII century, and Europe was saved from the genocidal Communism.
