He was a Polish political prisoner of the Nazis. He was first sent to Auschwitz in Oświęcim, Poland. Then he was sent to Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp near the villages of Mauthausen and Gusen in Upper Austria. His prisoner number was 42473. He survived his brutal imprisonment and went on to immigrate to America with his wife and two sons.

The National Archives and Records Administration 3-page passenger list shows on April 3, 1950, Antoni Roszkowski, Marina Roszkowski, Jerzy Roszkowski, and Antoni Roszkowski, Jr. left Munich, Germany, for New York City via Scandinavian flight 911/3197 out of the Munich-Riem Airport (Flughafen München-Riem).

The family lived briefly in Chicago, Cook, Illinois. They then settled in Brooklyn, Kings, New York. Eventually they moved to Lakewood, Ocean, New Jersey. Both Marina and Antoni "Tola" Roszkowski lived until their deaths in the home on River Avenue.
