Following the resignation, Wojciechowski worked as a lecturer at the [[Warsaw School of Economics]] and the College of Agriculture in Warsaw. Wojciechowski served as the Director of the Cooperative Scientific Institute and later sat on the Scientific Council of the Institute. He published hermetic publications on cooperative activity, which he engaged in before he became an active politician. He wrote books such as the Organization of Agricultural Products Sales and the History of Polish Cooperatives until 1914. In 1937, he was the co-founder of the opposition [[Labour Faction (1937)|Labor Party]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Ajnenkiel |first1=Andrzej|date=1980 |language=pl |title=Polska po przewrocie majowym.

On 10 November 1939, the [[Gestapo]] arrested Wojciehowski's son, Edmund, as part of [[German AB-Aktion in Poland]], and threatened with execution, as were other representatives of the Polish [[intelligentsia]]. Edmund was later released on 4 April 1940 because of [[Jerzy Antoni Potocki]]. He was later arrested again on 12 July 1940 because he was one of the 70 Warsaw lawyers who refused to remove Jewish associates from the Warsaw [[Lawyers in Poland|Bar Council]]. The Germans offered his release in exchange for Wojciechowski signing a declaration stating that the [[Polish government-in-exile]] was constitutionally illegal. Wojciechowski refused to sign the declaration and Edmund was transferred on 15 August 1940 to [[Auschwitz]] as one of the 1666 people of the first transport from [[Warsaw]], where he soon died of [[typhus]] on 23 February 1941.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Pawluczuk |first1=Zdzisław|date=1993 |language=pl |title=Konspirator i Prezydent.

During the [[Warsaw Uprising]], the ill Wojciechowski along with his wife Maria were rounded up by the [[Nazis]] and sent to [[Durchgangslager 121]], a transit camp in [[Pruszków]]. Thanks to the efforts of the Polish sanitary staff, the German medical commission managed to release the former President from the camp.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Kopf |first1=Stanisław|date=2001 |language=pl |title=Wyrok na miasto.
