Adam Bargielski was a Polish Catholic priest born in 1903 in Kalinowo. After studying canon law in Strasbourg, he served in various Polish parishes. During the Second World War, he voluntarily took the place of another individual, Klemens Sawicki, who had been detained by the Gestapo. This decision led to his imprisonment in concentration camps, including Soldau and Dachau, where he was eventually killed by a guard in 1942.
