From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Józef Garliński (October 14, 1913, Kiev - November 29, 2005, London) was a Polish historian and prose writer. He wrote many notable books on the history of World War II, some of which were translated into English. In particular, his book Fighting Auschwitz, translated into English in 1975, became a best-seller.

Garliński participated in the Polish Defensive War of 1939 and was a member of the Armia Krajowa. He was arrested by the Germans and imprisoned in Pawiak, later in Auschwitz and Neuengamme German concentration camps. After the war he settled in Great Britain.
