Father Jerzy Popiełuszko
Father Jerzy Popiełuszko was a Polish Roman Catholic priest known for his strong support of the Solidarity movement in the 1980s. He became a prominent figure in advocating for human rights and social justice during a time of political oppression in Poland. His sermons often addressed the struggles of the working class and the need for freedom.
Tragically, Father Popiełuszko was murdered in 1984 by agents of the Communist regime due to his outspoken views. His death sparked widespread outrage and became a symbol of resistance against tyranny. Today, he is remembered as a martyr and a symbol of faith and courage in the fight for democracy.
