Czesław Kaczmarek (April 16, 1895 – August 26, 1963) was a Polish Roman Catholic bishop of the Diocese of Kielce,[1] known for his firm stance against Communism and his persecution under the Polish People's Republic. As a prominent church leader, he faced significant oppression, including arrest and imprisonment, due to his outspoken opposition to the state's policies regarding religion and human rights.[2]
