Grzegorz Bolesław Frąckowiak

Grzegorz (Gregory) Bolesław Frąckowiak (July 18, 1911 – May 5, 1943) was a Society of the Divine Word (SVD) martyr.

Because he could not afford secondary education and later seminary schooling, in 1927 he decided to become a religious brother with the Society of the Divine Word missionaries.

He also wrote the daily spiritual exercises that would be undertaken by his fellow aspiring novitiates, and even took care of the food preparations.

Although he had had no recent involvement in the publication, Frąckowiak was concerned for the families of those arrested, and directed his fellow prisoners to assign all responsibility to him.

He was tortured and imprisoned in Fort VII, and was then transferred to Dresden in 1943, where he was beheaded by guillotine on May 5, 1943, after secretly writing a letter to his family.
