Johannes Wohlert, Józef Dydymski, Józef Waląg – catholic clergy of Pruszcz (Gdański) in the grip of two totalitarianisms – nazism and communism (1933–1989)

Summary/Abstract: Catholic priests of polish and german nationality – Johannes Wohlert, Józef Dydymski and Józef Waląg – in the years 1933–1989 conducted their pastoral activities in Pruszcz (Gdańsk) in the difficult reality of two totalitarianisms – national socialism and communist. Each of the above-mentioned priests in different circumstances, place and time, experienced harassment and repression resulting from an independent attitude towards the official ideology of both totalitarianisms. Johannes Wohlert had the courage to openly stand against nazi ideology. After the war, by the decision of the communist authorities, he was deported from Poland. Józef Dydymski defended polish identity in the Free City of Gdańsk and because of that he was punished twice – by the nazi and after the war by the communist authorities. Józef Waląg, as the chaplain of the Polish Home Army (Armia Krajowa) also challenged two totalitarianisms. Due to his wartime and postwar independence activity, he was harassed by the commu-nist services almost until the end of the Polish People’s Republic.
