ww2dbaseJan Stanisław Jankowski was born in the village of Krassów Wielki near Wysokie Mazowieckie, Poland. He was educated in Austro-Hungarian Galicia and co-found the National Worker's Union in 1906. In 1915, he joined the Polish Legions and fought in WW1. After WW1, with Poland's identity re-emerged, he co-founded the National Workers' Party in 1920 and remained a prominent leader among it until 1933; between 1921 and 1926, he was Poland's Minister of Labor. During WW2, with Poland occupied by German forces, he remained in the country and continued his work with labor and other social issues with the underground Polish state, and slowly becoming one of the leaders of the Polish resistance. On 31 Jul 1944, he was among the Polish leaders who ordered the Warsaw Uprising, which was to aid Russian efforts to drive out the German occupiers. Moscow, however, saw him as a threat; he was arrested by the Russian People's Commisariat for Internal Affairs (NKVD) in Mar 1945. He was tortured and accused of being a Nazi collaborator. Jankowski died in a Russian prison, possibly murdered, in 1953.

Hi,

I try to get information about a Jankowski family, very hwealthy, possibly nobility with a social awareness, who moved to Elblog in 1918 and stayed there til after WWII - untill after 1968. He sould have been a minister in a Polish government before the WWII. The oldest son Alexander is said also possibly to have been a minister in a government.

Thanks

Ole
