Stefan Majchrowski

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stefan Majchrowski (13 March 1908 in Grodzisk Mazowiecki – 22 February 1988 in Warsaw, Poland) was a Polish writer.

Majchrowski fought in the Invasion of Poland of 1939. He was later captured and incarcerated in the German POW camp. After his liberation by American forces, he served in the Polish Armed Forces in the West.

In 2009, he was posthumously awarded by President Lech Kaczynski the Officer's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta "for outstanding contribution to the independence of the Polish Republic, for activities on behalf of democratic change in Poland as well as veterans and social activities for their performance in the work undertaken for the benefit of the country and social activities".[clarification needed]
