The Marian Martyrs of Rosica

27 History of the Process • SEMINARIAN BRONISLAUS KOSYTKOWSKI (1886- 1942). Refused release in exchange for renouncing his path to the priesthood. • REV. DOMINIC JEDRZEJEWSKI (1886-1942) and REV. JOSEPH KUT (1905-1942). Rejected the opportunity to be released from Dachau in exchange for renouncing their ser- vice as priests. • REV. ANICETKOPLIONSKI, Capuchin who was described above. Still others left examples of heroic priestly service. Among them are: • REV. STANISLAUS PYRTEK (1913-1942). A priest from Vilnius, a vicar condemned to death for an attempt to save his pastor. • REV. JOSEPH KURZAWA (1910-1940). Died because he did not want to leave his pastor alone in danger of death. • REV. ADAM BARGIELSKI (1903-1942). A priest in Lomza, a vicar who went to prison as a substitute for his parish priest who was very old. • SEMINARIAN THADDEUS DOLNY (1914-1942). In the Dachau camp, while starving himself, he shared his food with other clergy to save their lives. • Five Seminarians from a Salesian establishment in Poznan. Reinforced each other in faith during torture until they accepted death as a transition to their meeting with Jesus and Mary: CZSLAUS JOZWIAK (1919-1942), EDWARD KAZMIERSKI (1919-1942), FRANCIS KESY (1920-1942), EDWARD KLINIK (1919-1942), JAROGNIEW WOJ- CIECHOWSKI (1922-1942).
