Działalność społeczno-polityczna ks. Dominika Ściskały na Śląsku Cieszyńskim w latach 1919-1922
The socio-political activities of Father Dominik Sciskala in Cieszyn Silesia in 1919-1922

Summary/Abstract: Years ago Father Jozef Londzin postulated to follow an example of scholars researching the contribution of Evangelical clergy to the fight for Polishness of Cieszyn Silesia and to study the contribution of Catholic clergy to this struggle. Until now this period of the recent history remains a sort of terra incognita. The article is a humble attempt to answer the call of the great patriot. The article is dedicated to Father Dominik Sciskala (1887-1945) who, as a priest born and raised in Austrian Silesia, took an active part in the fight for Polishness in the peak period of the struggle (1919-1920). He engaged in this campaign through pastoral, political, and literary activities. The article contains a reconstruction of life and political activities of Father Dominik Sciskala, active in Cieszyn Silesia in the years 1919-1922. The study was written on the basis of preserved documents, brochures, letters, telegrams, and opinions of superiors and the faithful.
