Zenon Golczyński born on May 24, 1907, in Biała Góra (Gostów Commune, Łęczyca District) as the son of Maksymilian and Stanisława née Nowakowska. He graduated from a private grammar school of A. Zimowski. He got his medical degree at the Stefan Batory University in Vilnius on October 28, 1933, where he also worked as an assistant to Professor Januszkiewicz.
During the 1939 Defensive War, he served as a medical officer. During the occupation, he got involved in the underground activity, and in 1942 he became the sanitary head of the Łódź Region of the Home Army.
At first, he worked as a doctor in the Arbeitsamt, but with time he was permitted by the occupation authorities to run a private practice at 115 Bolesława Limanowskiego Street, and then at 187 Rzgowska Street and in Sarmacka Street, which probably was a cover for his pro-independence activity. Arrested on a charge of underground activity, he was first sent to the Gestapo office in Anstadta Street, and then transferred to the prison in Sterlinga Street. In December 1944, he was brought to Radogoszcz. He died during the liquidation of the prison on January 17, 1945. His family found and identified his body among the massacre victims. Zenon Golczyński was buried in St. Roch’s Cemetery in Łódź.
