Adam Doboszynski, Polish Fascist who is now residing in London, has been honored by the Germans for his anti-Semitic activities by having a street in the Polish town of Myslenice named after him, it was learned today.
In June, 1936, Doboszynski, a prominent Cracow landowner, led a uniformed band of his followers on a midnight raid on Myslenice during which Jewish residents of the town were terrorized. He spent several years in jail for his attempted “putsch” but was released prior to the German invasion of Poland.
At present Doboszynski edits the ultra-reactionary polish paper, “Walka,” here, and was arrested last year by the present government-in-exile for a published attack on Polish President Reczkiewicz. He was released some time ago.
