Biography
Konstanty Jezierski was a Polish soldier whose life was cut short in 1939 during the German invasion of Poland. Though born in that same year, his brief existence represents the tragic circumstances of Poland's entry into World War II.
Jezierski's memory is preserved at Westerplatte Cemetery, where he rests among other defenders of Polish independence. His story, though brief, embodies the sacrifice of those who perished in Poland's struggle during the early days of the Second World War.
