The Murder of Henryk Siwiak
Unrelated to the terrorist attacks in New York City, he was known as the last man murdered on September 11, 2001.
September 11, 2001, was one of the most tragic days in the United States' history, as close to 3,000 people were killed by terrorists. However, one murder in New York City was not related to the terrorist attacks on the twin towers but was nonetheless tragic.
Henryk Siwiak
Henryk Siwiak, age 43, was an inspector for the Polish National Railroad in his home country of Poland when the economy took a turn for the worse, and he was laid off from his job. Henryk was a hard-working man who wanted to take proper care of his family, so he decided to move to New York City on his own to look for job opportunities in October 2000.
Henryk was a married father of two children who couldn’t afford to take a single day off work. He was sending money back to his family in Poland to save for his daughter’s college education. Once he made enough money, he was planning on going home to his wife and children.
