Bishop Józef Rozwadowski was born on 19 March 1909. After graduating from the Seminary in Cracow, he studied at the St Thomas University in Rome, Italy and at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow, where he was conferred on the PhD degree. In 1968 he became an Ordinary of the Lodz Diocese. In his work he did his best to help others, especially the disadvantaged people. During the time of Martial Law in Poland, he inspired others to provide material aid and spiritual assistance to the repressed, imprisoned political opponents and their families. For that purpose he created centers providing material aid and legal advice to the ones in need. The Bishop himself was involved in all those actions as well as he interceded for the political prisoners with the state authorities.

The author of the article ‘Martyrdom of the Catholic clergy in the Diocese of Lodz during the Second World War’ presents in an interesting and well documented way the poignant pages of the history of ecclesiastics from Lodz at the time of the Second World War. At the outbreak of the war, the Diocese of Lodz comprised 357 diocesan priests. As many as a hundred and fifty-five of them failed to live through the war. They either passed away through military action, in concentration camps, or died a natural death in the dire straits under the Nazi occupation. Not to mention those priests who ended their lives shortly after the war as a result of the traumatic events they had experienced in the camps, often in the aftermath of the pseudo-medical experiments they had been subjected to.
