Jędrzej Edward Moraczewski (Polish pronunciation: [ˈjɛndʐɛj mɔraˈt͡ʂɛfskʲi]; 13 January 1870 – 5 August 1944) was a Polish socialist politician who, loyal to Józef Piłsudski and viewed as acceptable by both left- and right-wing Polish political factions, served as the second Prime Minister of the Second Polish Republic between November 1918 and January 1919.[1] He had previously served as Minister of Communications. Subsequently, from 1925 to 1929, he served as Minister of Public Labour.[2]
Moraczewski died on 5 August 1944 when he was hit by shrapnel fired by a Soviet soldier into his house. He was buried at Powązki Military Cemetery.
