On April 6, 1940, the Geheime Staatspolizei, the Secret State Police, the GeStaPo, arrested Father Michał Piaszczyński, along with dozens of other priests in the area. Shipped to Sachsenhausen extermination camp, Father Piaszczyński suffered starvation, exhaustion and exposure, but still practiced his Faith.
