Military Organization Lizard Union
Organizacja Wojskowa Związek Jaszczurczy (''Military Organization Lizard Union'', short form: ''Związek Jaszczurczy'', abbreviated ''OW ZJ'') was an organization of Polish resistance in World War II. Created in 1939 and transformed into National Armed Forces (''Narodowe Siły Zbrojne, NSZ'') in 1942, it represented the far right of the Polish political spectrum (related to the National Radical Camp (''Obóz Narodowo-Radykalny, ONR'') political party) and so refused to recognise the internationally-recognised Polish Underground State although there was some uneasy tactical cooperation for practical reasons. It also refused to recognise the Soviet-aligned Polish Committee of National Liberation and continued to resist the new Polish communist regime after the war.

A person (plural, : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal obligation, legal responsibility.

In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes.
