Walczyli o Polskę nie tylko sztuką. Wybitni artyści muzycy w służbie ZWZ i AK – Roman Padlewski i Jan Ekier .......... 301

Two prominent Polish pianists and composers, Roman Padlewski (1915–1944) and Jan Ekier (winner of the 8th prize in the 1937 Chopin Competition), played pivotal roles in both the cultural and military resistance during World War II. Padlewski, recognized for his artistic brilliance akin to poet Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński, engaged in clandestine musical activities while actively participating in the Warsaw Uprising as a Home Army soldier; he died heroically after being mortally wounded in the ghetto. Ekier, who survived the war, organized concerts under extreme conditions, often featuring Chopin's music, which served as both artistic expression and morale booster for soldiers and civilians alike. Their contributions highlight the enduring significance of music, particularly Chopin’s, even in the harshest circumstances of occupied Warsaw.
