Tadeusz Pietrzykowski

Tadeusz "Teddy" Pietrzykowski (born 8 April 1917 in Warsaw, died 17 April 1991 in Bielsko-Biala) was a Polish boxer, Polish Armed Forces soldier, and a prisoner at Auschwitz-Birkenau and Neuengamme concentration camps during World War II. He was part of the first mass transport to Auschwitz in June 1940, and was transferred to Neuengamme in 1943. Parts of Pietrzykowski's life served as the basis for a story written by Jozef Hen (Bokser i śmierć) and a film by Peter Solan (Boxer a smrť).
