A CARD FROM THE CALENDAR - JULIAN DZIKOWSKI
He did not lack talents. He played the violin and the clarinet, wrote his own compositions, knew his way around a printing press, and graduated from a feldsher’s school. In 1918, he escaped from German captivity and settled in the village of Mikuszewskie. Together with his wife Franciszka he ran a small farm and welcomed patients at any time. – Our treasure Dzikowski – they used to say in the neighbourhood.
During the occupation he secretly healed Jews and partisans. The last patient, a Jew, came to him in July 1943. The Pole did not wait long for the raid. The Nazis murdered him in his own backyard. They robbed the house and even took the sheet music. After the war, his daughter Jadwiga died in Germany as a forced labourer, and his two sons, members of the Home Army, were imprisoned.
