Stanisław Józef Dubois (9 January 1901 – 21 August 1942) was a Polish journalist and political activist in the Second Polish Republic, member of the left wing of the Polish Socialist Party, as well as the Youth Organisation of the Workers' University Society (Organizacja Młodzieży Towarzystwa Uniwersytetu Robotniczego).[1]
Biography
He became involved in pro-independence and socialist activism as a student at Wojciech Górski Gymnasium in Warsaw.[2] After World War I he joined the Polish Socialist Party, and took part in the Silesian Uprisings and the Polish–Soviet War.[2]
Dubois was a founder and chairman of the Red Scouts (Czerwone Harcerstwo Towarzystwa Uniwersytetu Robotniczego). He served as a member of Sejm (lower house of parliament) from 1928 to 1933, and as a Warsaw city councillor from 1938. He also worked as an editorial secretary for the Robotnik (lit. 'Worker') daily newspaper.
As an opponent of Sanation, he was charged in 1930 with communist agitation in Lwów, and sentenced to 3 years in prison during the Brest trials.[2] He was held at the Brest Fortress, and, while imprisoned, ran in the 1930 Polish legislative election. He was released the following month.[1]
His great-grandfather, Charles August Dubois, was a French officer of Napoleon's Grande Armée.[3]
World War II
Dubois participated in the Polish resistance movement in World War II. In 1940 he was arrested in Warsaw, held at Pawiak prison, and subsequently taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau,[1] where he conspired with Witold Pilecki to gather intelligence inside the camp. He was executed at the camp in 1942, under the command of Maximilian Grabner and Gerhard Palitzsch.[1]
