Stanisław Musiał (1 May 1938, Łososina Górna, Poland – 5 March 2004 Kraków) was a Catholic priest and a pioneer and leader of Catholic-Jewish dialogue and Polish-Jewish reconciliation.
[3] He was one of the strongest and most forthright voices in the Polish Catholic Church for tolerance and mutual understanding, and was intensely devoted to combating antisemitism and xenophobia.
Musiał played a key role in organizing and facilitating a Geneva meeting among international Catholic and Jewish leaders that led to a 1987 agreement resolving the conflict over the Carmelite Convent at Auschwitz.
He was an outspoken opponent of the mounting of public crosses at the convent,[4] and what he saw as the attempted "Christianization" of Auschwitz.
The Stanisław Musiał Award is given out to people who have made outstanding contributions to Christian- and Polish-Jewish dialogue.
