After German and Russian invasion of Poland in 09.1939 and start of the World War II, after start of German occupation, the Germans expelled on 09.12.1939 all professors and seminarians from the buildings of the Theological Seminary in Płock.

The property of the seminary was looted or destroyed, including c. 50,000 library volumes (c. 500 valuable incunabula, over 1,000 old prints from the 16th century), most of which have not been recovered to this day.

The Germans also plundered the private property of priests and seminarians.

In the seminar theater hall, the German genocidal SS organized a canteen.

The clerics went to their family homes.

In unclear circumstances arrested by the Germans and brought to KL Fort III (Pomiechówek) concentration camp.

There hanged or shot.

alt. details of death

There is a probability that he is identical with person deported by the Germans from Brzozowo–Dąbrówka (Przasnysz county) village.

It might have taken place in 10.1940.

The that person might have relocated to Świniary (Przasnysz county) village, c. 20 km away, where the person of the same particulars murdered by the Germans in KL Pomiechówek Fort III concentration camp originated from.

This person was arrested on 06.10.1942 (prob. in Stegna village, c. 17 km from Przasnysz), being suspected of anti–German clandestine resistance activities and of avoiding slave labour for Germany.

Investigation was run by German Gestapo in Ciechanów.

Germans were not able to prove any „illegal political” activities.

In the same 10.1942 however that person was incarcerated in KL Pomiechówek Fort III camp.

KL Pomiechówek Fort III: German concentration camp — formally known as Germ. Polizei Gefängnis (Eng. police prison), but also Germ. Todeslager (Eng. death camp), torture camp or Germ. Durchgangslager (Eng. transit camp) — set–up by Germans in military forts of Fortress Modlin n. Warsaw, largest in German occupied northern Masovia, in Germ. Regierungsbezirk Zichenau (Eng. Ciechanów Regency), part of German province Germ. Ostpreußen (Eng. East Prussia), where German state law was in force. In 1941‑1944 from 50,000 to 100,000 prisoners were held there, in atrocious conditions, mainly Poles, members of clandestine resistance organizations (part of Polish Clandestine State), but also Jews (till 1943). Thousands were murdered (including c. 6‑10 thousands of Jews) — an unambiguous determination of the number of murdered is impossible, for from the beginning of 1944 the Germans started to wipe out the traces of the crimes. During camp closure Germans murdered all remaining inmates (apart from approx. 25 women). (more on: www.dolinawkry.c0.plClick to attempt to display webpage

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

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
