Bolesław Gebert

[citation needed] Bolesław Konstanty Gebert was born July 22, 1895, in Tatary, near Tykocin, in the Białystok region, near the current border of Poland and Belarus.

After his release, Konstanty Gebert was a member of the Home Army resistance movement during World War II, along with three of his four brothers, Mieczysław, Henryk, and Aleksander.

[citation needed] By 1915, Gebert was an active member of the Socialist Party of America working in the SPA's Polish Federation.

[3] In 1932, Gebert co-founded the Polonia Society from an existing Polish-language section of the International Workers Order (IWO).

Another Venona message reports Gebert's demand for a $500 balance the KGB still owed him on a one thousand dollar contract to publish a Polish-language book.

[citation needed] After World War II, Gebert returned to the now Communist-dominated Poland, where he assumed a leading position in the state-controlled labor unions.

In 1920 in the US, he married Romanian-born Elvira Koenig (1898–1974); they had one son, Armand Gebert (1922–2009), a journalist who lived and died in Detroit.
