Piechowski spent some time in Ukraine before he returned to Poland, where he joined the partisan Polish Home Army and spent the rest of the war fighting the Nazis. After the war, Kazimierz was called to 10 years in prison by Communists. They didn’t trust members of the former Polish Home Army resistance. It is said that he only served seven years of the 10 year sentence. Later, Piechowksi became an engineer and then when the communist regime fell in 1989, he took time to travel around the world with his wife Iga. He has written two books about his experiences in the concentration camps. The memories of Auschwitz have haunted Kazimierz for more than 50 years.​​​​​​​
