I recommend reading his Wikipedia Page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witold_Pilecki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witold_Pilecki. In 1948 Pilecki was executed by communists after a show trial. The Polish entry has a bit more info (https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witold_Pilecki https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witold_Pilecki). What is horrifying are his words during the last seeing of his wife: "Auschwitz was a plaything". While in arrest he was tortured: the denailed his feet, crushed his genitals, impaled him on a table leg.
