The name of Vincent Godlewski (1888–1942) is well known to all who are interested in the Belarusian national liberation movement of the first half of the 20th century. This man was not only one of the leaders of the Belarusian Christian Democracy -
the most influential independence organization of Western Belarus in the interwar period, but also by his own example showed the inhabitants of villages and towns their right to use their native language in the church.
Vincent Godlewski's biography is based on a detailed study of various documents, memoirs and periodicals. The author organically inscribed the priest's activity in the broad context of the dramatic era, when Belarusians first declared their right to national statehood. His way of life is described in detail from his birth in the village of Shurychi, near Vaukavysk, to his tragic death in the Trostyanets forest near Minsk.
