Stefania Skwarczyńska de domo Strzelbicka (17 November 1902 in Kamionka Strumiłowa – 28 April 1988 in Łódź) was a Polish theorist and historian of literature, theatrologist, full professor, doctor honoris causa of the University of Łódź, and World War II resistance fighter.[1] [2]
In April 1940, as the wife of a Polish officer imprisoned in Starobelsk officer's camp, she, her children, and her mother-in-law were exiled to Kazakhstan, from where she was released back to Lwów by the efforts of scientists and continued her work at Lwów University. During the German occupation she was employed at the Lviv Institute for Typhus and Virus Research as a manager of the department of "lice feeders" (1941–1944).[3][1] During this time she took part in the underground education in Poland during World War II.[4] In 1945 she became a member of the Union of Armed Struggle, known under the noms de guerre: "Maria" and "Jarema" and took part in actions for liberating the Jews.[1]
In 1988 a documentary about her was released, Stefania Skwarczyńska – szkic do portretu uczonej.[5]
