Abstract

Bronisław Muzyka, born in the region of Lwów, settled down in Szadek after the Second World War. He lived more than fourty years as a citizen of this town, where he was active, among other things, as the bandmaster of the Volunteer Fire Brigade. His life had a tragic episode – it was his stay in Flossenburg concentration camp and its subcamp in Legenfeld.
