Английская Википедия:Augustyn Łukosz
Augustyn Łukosz (17 August 1884 – 27 October 1940) was a Polish national activist and socialist politician. He was a member of the Polish Socialist Workers Party, the social democratic party active amongst the Polish minority in Czechoslovakia. In 1935 Łukosz founded the Polish Social Democratic Party (PPSD).[1]
Life
After graduating from the school in Stonawa, Łukosz worked as a coal miner in a mine in Karwina, and later as a railwayman, working as a switchman at the train station in Łąki nad Olzą. Łukosz was already in his youth engaged in the workers' movement, becoming a member of the Polish Social Democratic Party of Galicia (PPS-DG) and later the Polish Socialist Party. After division of Cieszyn Silesia, he stayed in Czechoslovakia, where he co-founded the Polish Socialist Workers Party (PSPR). He represented its faction opposed to the cooperation with communists. Łukosz contributed to the PSPR magazine Robotnik Śląski (Silesian Worker) and co-founded the Polish Educational-Sporting Association "Siła" in Český Těšín.[2]
In August 1934 he was expelled from the PSPR due to the ideological discrepancies with the party leadership.[3] He advocated the cooperation with the rest of the Polish organizations in Czechoslovakia, whereas the PSPR leadership followed the cooperation with the Czech social democrats.[2]
From March to July 1935 he edited the PPSD press organ Naprzód (Forward). After the annexation of Trans-Olza region to Poland in 1938, President Ignacy Mościcki named him a deputy of the Silesian Parliament, where Łukosz was a deputy until the outbreak of World War II. In 1938 he was awarded the Officer's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta.[3]
During the Nazi occupation, Łukosz was interred in the concentration camp in Skrochovice near Opava.[2] On 16 April 1940, he was moved to Dachau concentration camp, and later to Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp,[2] where he died from exhaustion on 27 October 1940.
