Add to basketSecond edition. Numbered copy. In publisher s wrappers with the emblem of the Polish Red Cross on the front, stamped number on the rear. 15 [1] p. (binding included). Scarce Borowski publication. Poszukiwania (Tracing) is a rare and historically significant publication by Tadeusz Borowski and Krystyn Olszewski. Published in 1945 by Oficyna Warszawska, a press founded in Munich by Anatol Girs, the work serves as both a literary and humanitarian artifact of the immediate post-World War II period. Anatol Girs, a celebrated Polish graphic artist and concentration camp survivor, established the press to preserve Polish cultural identity in exile and address pressing social issues, including aiding displaced persons and Holocaust survivors. The pamphlet was created to support the Polish Red Cross (Polski Czerwony Krzy?), specifically its Family Tracing Office, which worked to reunite families torn apart by the war. The preface notes that the poems included were written by staff of the Family Tracing Office and published to raise funds for its activities. Tadeusz Borowski is one of the most important Polish writers to emerge in the aftermath of World War II. Born in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, he moved to Warsaw in 1932. During the war, he studied literature clandestinely and published his first poetry under German occupation. Arrested in 1943, he was deported to Auschwitz, an experience that profoundly shaped his writing. His post-war works, including This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen (Po?egnanie z Mari?, 1948), are renowned for their stark, unflinching portrayals of life in the concentration camps and the moral ambiguities of survival. After the war, Borowski briefly aligned with Poland's socialist regime but struggled with ideological pressures and personal disillusionment. He tragically died by suicide in 1951 at the age of 28. Extremely scarce despite a relatively large print run, likely due to its fragile pamphlet format. WorldCat locates only one copy of the 1945 first edition, held in the National Library of Poland, and four copies of the second edition (1946), with only one outside Poland (University of Wisconsin).
