Ludwik Mzyk was a Polish priest belonging to the Society of the Divine Word who lived from 1905 to 1940. Born in Chorzów to a religious mining family, he pursued his vocation through various stages of seminary training and theological studies in Rome. He eventually returned to his birthplace to serve as a novice master and later as a rector. His life was cut short during the German occupation of Poland when he was arrested by the Gestapo and subsequently killed in a concentration camp.
