Witold Pilecki, Danuta Siedzikówna, Józef Franczak and Hieronim Dekutowski came to symbolize post-WWII anti-communist underground because their deeds and fate were the same as the experiences of thousands of their contemporaries. Consequently, learning about them is learning about a big portion of that generation.
