During World War II, Kon Piekarski was a member of the Polish
Underground Army, a clandestine resistance movement which
operated even inside Auschwitz – organizing spectacular escapes,

After Auschwitz, Piekarski became a prisoner of war at Buchenwald
and spent time working in a factory where Russian prisoners of
war were used for labour. In the face of constant danger, he and
his comrades took every possible opportunity to sabotage the
German war industry. He was finally transferred to a small camp
near the French border, and escaped three months before the end
of the war.
