  • Officer of the Home Army (Armia Krajowa - AK), co-owner a photographic company which sent its travelling salesmen collecting orders for photo portraits; he hid the Chaskielewicz family in Topiel Street, he got papers for them, helped them. In August 1943, he was arrested by the German criminal police, released after two weeks. He declared that the Home Army is collaborating with the Germans and he went to the People's Army (Armia Ludowa - AL). He always had a lot of money, he gave some of it to Chaskielewicz. He was shot on the Home Army's sentence. Several dozen years after the war, Stefan Chaskielewicz got to know that Boguslaw was a collaborator, who penetrated Polish underground and traced hiding Jews, he contributed to death of many Jewish families. Was it a terrible mistake? Or was he indeed the 'bloody Boguslaw' and didn't managed to denounce the Chaskielewicz family? Or perhaps he was preparing himself an alibi for the post-war period to prove that he saved Jews?
