Antoni Świadek was a Polish Catholic priest and chaplain who lived from 1909 to 1945. Born in Pobiedziska, he served as a vicar in Bydgoszcz and worked as a military chaplain. During the German occupation of Poland, he continued his pastoral duties by conducting services and hearing confessions in Polish, defying Nazi restrictions. His religious activities led to his arrest by the Gestapo in 1942, after which he was sent to the Dachau concentration camp, where he eventually died from typhus.
