German Socialist Gestapo arrested Father Franciszek Rosłaniec, on November 12, 1939. Shipped to Dachau extermination camp, his forearm was tattooed with the number 22687.
Soon, too sick to labor, the priest was moved to Block 29, the invalid barracks, and eventually placed on a train, the Invalid Transport, to Austria, where delivery vans were waiting and loaded with the prisoners.

Headed to Hartheim Euthanasia Center, the vans were, instead, converted to gas chambers when guards inserted exhaust pipes into the vans. Occupants were gassed and died within minutes, on November 20, 1942. Victims were cremated, and their ashes were sprinkled over Austrian fields.

"I feel that I will die. Tell my beloved believers in the parish of Christ the King that I willingly give my life for Christ and Fatherland," Father Franciszek Rogaczewski said to fellow prisoners days before his murder.
Because he was a Catholic priest, he had been arrested on September 1, 1939, the day the German Socialists invaded Poland.

Tortured for months, he was being transported with others to Stutthof concentration camp, when the trucks stopped and all prisoners were ordered to march into the forest, where they were shot and killed at the edge of a pre-dug mass grave, on January 11, 1940.

"If I escape, Germans will decimate my parishioners," Father Jan Pyzikiewicz explained why he did not want to escape when given the opportunity.
The German Socialist Gestapo had arrested Father Pyzikiewicz, on November 14, 1942, after he refused to make a list of "suspects."
Tortured in prison, he was shipped to Auschwitz, where he collapsed during roll call and was immediately taken to the ovens, where he, Number 88555, was burned to death, on February 26, 1943.
