In 1885 he moved to Berlin and joined the German Social Democratic Party. He soon returned to his homeland, where he joined the International Social Revolutionary Party "Proletariat" (usually referred to by the names First Proletariat or Great Proletariat party). Kasprzak was arrested in 1885, but escaped prison in 1887 and fled to Switzerland, then illegally arrived in Warsaw the same year. After the destruction of the First Proletariat in 1888, Kasprzak became one of the founders and leaders of the Social Revolutionary Party "Proletariat" (usually referred to by the names Second Proletariat or Small Proletariat party). According to some sources, in 1889 Kasprzak also helped to smuggle out Rosa Luxemburg out of Poland; she moved to Switzerland. In 1891, Kasprzak fled to exile in London. In 1893, he was arrested while trying to cross the border of the Russian Empire. Released from prison in 1896, he joined the Polish Socialist Party in Prussia. In 1904, Kasprzak returned to the Russian-controlled Congress Poland and joined the Social Democracy of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania (SDKPiL) party. On April 27, 1904, during a police raid on an underground printing press in Warsaw, Kasprzak participated in armed resistance, during which four policemen were killed and several others wounded. Kasprzak was executed on September 8, 1905, in the Warsaw Citadel. Museum of the History of the Revolutionary Movement in Łódź - a city museum established in 1959, collecting all kinds of souvenirs from the history of the Polish and regional ( Łódź and the Łódź region) of the workers' movement. Currently, the Museum of Independence Traditions in Łódź . The exhibition in the main building at ul. Gdańska 13, made available on October 15, 1960. The idea of establishing a nationwide "Workers 'Museum" in Łódź arose around mid-1947, on the initiative of new political forces (probably mainly from the circle of the Polish Workers' Party ), actively rebuilding the political, economic and social structure of post-war Poland into a socialist state . The museum was to be a form of historical justification of the right to such activities and to commemorate the long-term struggle of the proletariat with capitalists and reaction. It was an initiative based on the experience of operating a similar type of museum in the USSR, which was clearly referred to in the published program assumptions of the future museum, pointing to the attendance enjoyed by these museums, their high professional level and the fact that they are the only ones in Europe. The museum was to be built in the center of Łódź, in a building specially built for it, for which the Ministry of Culture and Art allocated PLN 10 million in 1948. It was supposed to be a municipal institution, subsidized by the state. Two organizational committees were established: in Łódź and Warsaw. The authorities of Łódź have announced that the organizers of the museum will be handing over an 8-room premises for the Łódź group. Despite these specific decisions and actions, the establishment of the "Workers' Museum" in Łódź did not take place at that time (probably due to financial reasons and other more urgent tasks related to the reconstruction of Poland and Warsaw). Had it been established then, it would have been the first museum of its kind in Poland. Choosing Łódź as its location, the factors that were taken into account were its location in the center of Poland, the fact that such a large city was practically not destroyed during the last war and the significant traditions of the communist workers' movement in this city, which was partially true, because Poland played a leading role in its organization, Socialist Party. She returned to that idea in the second half of the In the 1950s, a group of veterans of the labor movement from Łódź and employees of the Party History Department of the Łódź Committee of the Polish United Workers' Party, which gained approval of its implementation by the leadership of the party authorities in Łódź, which commissioned its implementation to the city authorities. A favorable moment was the empty building of the former prison at the intersection of the then Gdańska and Obrońców Stalingradu Streets (now Legionów), from which the Provincial Civic Militia School in Łódź had moved out several years earlier. The museum was established in 1959 by a joint decision of the Secretariats of the Łódź Committee and the Provincial Committee of the Polish United Workers' Party in Łódź, and above all, by the resolution of the Presidium of the National Council in Łódź no. 26/217/58 of 8 July 1958. Practical organizational work began in January 1959 under the name "Museum of the History of the Revolutionary Movement in Łódź" (MHRR-Łódź), on the basis of the collections of the Party History Department of the Łódź Committee of the Polish United Workers' Party. Its Organizational Office was located in the pre-war mikveh building at ul. Gdańska 75. On the other hand, the city authorities designated the above-mentioned building of the former prison at ul. Gdańska 13 (at the intersection of then ul. Gdańska and Obrońców Stalingradu, today Legionów) and, as a branch, the area of the former World War II police prison in Radogoszcz. Its first employees were: dispatcher Juliusz Grabik and assistant professor at the University's History Department. Łódzki - Stanisław Mierzejewski, MA, who became its first director. At the same time, the Museum Council was established under the chairmanship of the then MP - Eugeniusz Ajnenkiel. According to Izydor Hałas, the then head of the Party History Department of the Łódź Committee of the Polish United Workers' Party and probably one of the main originators of such a museum, the creation of the museum was to contribute to the creation of research and scientific conditions for the development and popularization of the history and tradition of the labor movement, as well as providing visitors with souvenirs (e.g. photographs, banners, banners, letters) from the times of revolutionary activity. The very seat of the museum (as the place where the tsarist, interwar Polish and Nazi authorities imprisoned revolutionaries) was to be a testimony to the history of the workers' movement.
