It's about Jews. In the interwar period, there were only a few of them in Kościerzyna, though in 1886 there were 468, in 1920 – 95, and a year later, after the lands were incorporated into Poland, only 18 people of Jewish nationality lived in Kościerzyna. Before the outbreak of the war, only two families remained. Where did they go? During this period, Jews from Kashubia emigrated en masse to Germany, with which they were culturally and mentally more aligned. Herman and Rozalia were therefore among the last to remain in Kościerzyna.

At the very beginning, it is worth mentioning the dedication ceremony of the Lutheran Church in Kościerzyna (Berent), which took place on Wednesday, April 18, 1894, as stated in the holiday program of the ceremony, printed especially for this occasion. This temple served the local faithful of the Evangelical faith until 1945. After World War II, this post-Evangelical church under the invocation of St. John of Nepomuk was designated for youth as a school church. The Resurrectionists came to Kościerzyna at the request of the then Ordinary of the Chełmno Diocese, Bishop Kazimierz Józef Kowalski, who wanted to entrust them with the care of the abandoned post-Evangelical church and the children and school youth in Kościerzyna. The Resurrectionists arrived in the city on July 4, 1947. https://parafiakoscierzyna.pl/index.php/historia-parafii
