2009 marked the 65th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising.  Tadeusz Gajcy was born on 8 February 1922 in Warsaw and died on 16 August 1944. As a student he met Zdzisław Stroiński, a law student of the poet. Stroiński introduced Gajcy to the underground organisation Konfederacja Narodu (Confederation of the Nation), established by the activists of the National-Radical Camp "Falanga". Tadeusz Gajcy also participated in courses of the Information and Propaganda Bureau of the KG AK. He wrote for the underground literary monthly Sztuka i Naród, and was its last editor. In this magazine, he published reviews, articles and fragments of prose, but above all his poems. He also published in the underground socio-cultural monthly Kultura Jutra, edited by Jerzy Braun. On 25 May 1943, together with Wacław Bojarski and Zdzisław Stroiński, he laid a wreath with a red-and-white sash and the inscription Genius Pole, Nicolaus Copernicus on the 400th anniversary of his death - Underground Poland. In the face of a struggle with a "navy blue" policeman and the shooting of the German police, Bojarski was seriously injured, while Stroinski was taken by the Gestapo. Tadeusz Gajce managed to escape and hide, Bojarski, despite the operation, died. In the Warsaw Uprising he fought under the command of Lieutenant Jerzy Bondorowski, commander of the assault and accident group. He died in the fight together with Zdzisław Stroiński on 16 August in a tenement house at 1.3 Przejazd Street (today Władysława Anders Street).
