Dr Józef Putek, radykał chłopski, wybitny działacz ludowy i poseł na Sejm, zaczynał swoją karierę polityczną w rodzinnej wsi Choczni, a w 1919 roku został wybrany na jej wójta. Jego bezkompromisowy antyklerykalizm szybko doprowadził do konfliktu z ks. Józefem Dunajeckim, długoletnim proboszczem parafii w Choczni. Spór między władzami gminnymi a choczeńskim probostwem szybko zaczął dzielić wieś na zwolenników dr. Putka, w znakomitej większości działaczy ruchu ludowego, i ks. Dunajeckiego. Wójt zarzucał proboszczowi niegospodarność, samowolę w dysponowaniu majątkiem kościelnym i brak dbałości o plebańskie budynki. Opierając się na własnej interpretacji ustaw o konkurencji kościelnej, dr Putek samodzielnie przystąpił do renowacji kościoła i wyprzedaży części jego majątku, co budziło sprzeciw parafian. Nowy etap konfliktu zaczął się w 1926 roku, gdy naczelnik gminy stanął na czele Komitetu parafialnego. Punktem krytycznym w sporze między władzami gminnymi i Komitetem a proboszczem Dunajeckim była sprawa fundacji dzwonów, zakupionych po części ze składek parafian w Choczni, a po części z funduszy zebranych przez chocznian z Detroit i Chicago. Dr Putek sprzeciwił się zawieszeniu dzwonów na wieży kościelnej, powołując się na zagrożony interes Komitetu parafialnego i samowolę księdza proboszcza. Wtargnięcie do kościoła przedstawicieli władz gminnych, z wójtem na czele i opieczętowanie dzwonu było bezpośrednim powodem rzucenia na dr. Putka kary interdyktu osobistego przez abp. Adama S. Sapiehę. Pośrednimi zaś powodami była antyklerykalna działalność wójta, tak polityczna, jak i publicystyczna, m.in. na łamach wydawanej w Choczni gazety „Sztandar Chłopski”. W 1929 roku dr Putek został odwołany z funkcji naczelnika gminy, a niedługo później uwięziony przez władze sanacyjne w Brześciu. W kwietniu 1939 roku Metropolita krakowski zniósł ciążącą na nim karę interdyktu.

Józef Putek (1892–1974), Juris Doctor, was distinguished people’s radical, peasant activist and member of parliment. He began his political career in his native village Chocznia, where, since 1919, he held the office of the Vogt. His uncompromising anticlericalism, fierce criticism of the Church and its position in the nation, brought about the conflict with the parson of Chocznia, Józef Dunajecki. Putek accused the parson of mismanagement and lawlessness in having at one’s disposal church wealth. A critical moment in the conflict between the Vogt and parson Dunajecki was the matter of the foundation of bells. The purchase was financed by parishioners and emigrants from Chocznia, who lived in Detroit and Chicago. Józef Putek objected to hanging bells on the church tower. Incursion to the church and stamping one of the bells was a direct cause of interdict. Another reason for the interdict by archbishop Adam Stefan Sapieha was the effect of anticlerical political and publicistic activity of the Vogt. Some examples include, publishing in Chocznia a radical newspaper „Sztandar Chłopski”. In 1929 Dr. Jur. Putek was canceled from the post of the Vogt and soon after that, in 1930, was imprisoned by the Sanation government in the fortress of Brześć.

In 1942, Edith Grünwald was a young, nearly 23 years old, Slovak Jewess from Holicz, when the Gestapo arrested her in Ilava, where she was working as a clerk. After spending some time in the concentration camp in Bratislava, she was deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp, in one of the first Jewish RSH transports from Slovakia. Her camp number was 3507. Thanks to her education, she was able to work in the Politische Abteilung (the Political Department). She was the personal secretary of Herbert Kirschner. When the war was over in January 1945, she was evacuated to Ravensbrück, and then freed by the Red Army in Malchow, located near Berlin. Although the ordeal in the Nazi camp was over, Edith didn’t enjoy freedom for long. In May 1945, short after coming back from the concentration camp, she was arrested by the UB in Katowice. She was accused of mistreating her fellow prisoners and cooperating with SS Men, in particularly with her boss Kirschner. The investigation of Edith`s case, conducted by the Special Criminal Court, lasted more than 2 years. Thanks to the involvement of the Czechoslovakian Consulate along with the help of two lawyers, they managed to deny the allegations made by her former inmate, Polish Jewess Dunia Urbańska (Urison). The trial, which took place on May 14, 1947 before the Wadowice District Court, resulted in Edith Grünewald being declared innocent after testimony from a fellow Slovak Jewess proved the allegations as false. As it turned out, the arrest (combined with a brutal beating) and the investigation was a result of a plot by her former fellow prisoner, who was jealous of Edith`s position in the camp and above all her regard of the prisoners.

Anzelm Anton Pilarek came from a Polish Silesian family living in Laurahütte near Katowice. As a young boy, he fled to Poland in 1919, where he participated in the Polish-Bolshevik war. Released from the army, he returned to the German Silesia and engaged in various jobs on the edge of the law. In 1936, he was arrested for having insulted Reich Minister Göbbels and sentenced to 4 years of imprisonment. He was not released, as he was sent as a criminal prisoner to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Exercising the function of vorarbeiter and untercapo in the ‘wooden yard’ of the DAW kommando, he committed numerous crimes against his fellow inmates, whom he beat, tortured and killed. He inspired fear among prisoners and had the reputation of a sadist. In 1944 he was compulsorily conscripted into the Dirlewanger Brigade, but he escaped during his transport to Minsk. After the war, Anzelm Pilarek was captured by the British and deported to Poland. Witnesses’ confessions during the investigation and trials irrefutably proved his guilt and on 18 June 1949 he was sentenced to death by the Regional Court in Wadowice. His execution took place in the Wadowice prison.
