Writing to a json file with Polish characters

I am using a JSON file to send data from an LDAP database on linux ADDC SAMBA for further processing. I fetch the data with a script written in python3. My problem is that some fields contain Polish characters that are encoded in unicode, for example "Bo\u017Cena \u017Ar\u00F3dlana" should be "Bożena Źródlana" . I would like the file to contain already decoded data so that I can read them without guessing what character is behind the unicode code. I need to ask for help where in my code I should put something similar to a decoder so that the entire file is already saved as decoded and containing Polish special characters

my python3 code:

my jsons output looks:
