Leon Milak was a taxi driver from Żarnów who died tragically on November 20, 1972 in a bomb attack in Maleniec, in the Końskie district. He was known in the local community as the owner of a red Warszawa with the word "taxi" written on it, which he used to drive residents of the area. Milak had a happy family and ambitious plans, including building a brickyard to help Żarnów develop after the devastation of war and the difficult years of the Polish People's Republic.

On the day of the attack, he was booked for a ride by his neighbor and friend, Tadeusz W. On the way, they also picked up a woman, Danuta K. On a wooden bridge in Maleniec, the passenger detonated an explosive charge, killing everyone in the car - Leon Milak, Danuta K. and himself. Milak died on the way to the hospital.

The tragedy shocked the local community and Milak's family, who still remember the event. In 2022, on the 50th anniversary of the attack, a plaque commemorating the victims of this tragedy was unveiled on the premises of the Historic Metallurgical Plant in Maleniec
