Faces of Dynów
Kedzierski Family
Jozef Kędzierski was the president of Invalid Cooperative for 22 years. He was the mayor of Dynów from 1986 to 1989. He was nine years old when the Nazis invaded the town. I befriended Jozef on my first trip to Dynów in 2013. Jozef took me and my husband around the town and introduced us to many townspeople including Mrs Gasecka, who was previously a neighbor to my family. Jozef also showed us the landmarks of the Nazi terror when the town was invaded in September 1939. Jozef has an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of Dynów and the neighboring vicinities.
