Jan Słomka

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jan Słomka (1842–1932) was the Habsburg Polish mayor of Dzików in the late 19th and early 20th century.

Słomka is perhaps best known for his memoir, From Serfdom to Self-Government: Memoirs of a Polish Village Mayor, with its descriptions of Polish peasant life from the time of Polish serfdom until after World War I.
