Fr. Edward Kozłowski (1888-1940) – Social Activist, Director of the Catholic Social School in Poznań

Abstract

Priest Edward Kozłowski was one of the Catholic social activists of the interwar period in Poznań. He grew up and shaped his ideological attitudes even in the conditions of the struggle for independence, including the joining of the lands of Greater Poland to the reborn state. In 1919, he moved to Poznań, where he lived until his arrest by the Germans in 1939. He was the director of the Union of Catholic Polish Workers' Societies of the Archdiocese of Gniezno and Poznań, secretary of the Social Council at the Primate of Poland, editor of the periodicals Robotnik [Worker] and Przegląd Społeczny [Social Review] in which he published his texts on, among others, the social teaching of the Church. He was a co-inspirator and director of the Catholic Social School in Poznań, operating between 1927 and 1939, which, within a few years, acquired the status of a university and educated a group of professionally and ideologically well-prepared graduates.
