1. His wikipedia page is in Polish, google translate gave me the following translation into English

Source-https://pl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanis%C5%82aw_Ryniak


snip-On May 6, 1940, he was arrested in Jarosław by the Gestapo for his activities in the Union of Armed Struggle [10] [1] [11] [4] [9] . The Germans then arrested all students over 15 years of age, suspecting them of belonging to the ZWZ (many of the school's students belonged to this underground organization, including Ryniak; they were involved in, for example, distributing leaflets or making sketches of bridges).


He had 2 children that survived him.
