Father Styra was arrested by the German Socialist secret police, the Gestapo, on April 15, 1941. He was accused of lending a typewriter to print anti-German leaflets. First jailed in Rybnik detention center, he was shipped to Auschwitz, on July 17, 1941, where he received Number 18176. Beaten by a Socialist guard, his leg was operated on, but gangrene set in, and he perished on October 10, 1941. VIVA CRISTO REY! Niech żyje Chrystus Król!
