Encyclopedic overview
Władysław Bartoszewski ( Polish: [vwaˈdɨswav bartɔˈʂɛfskʲi] ; 19 February 1922 – 24 April 2015) was a Polish professor of History, politician, social activist, journalist, writer, historian and insurgent. A former Auschwitz concentration camp prisoner, he was a World War II resistance fighter as part of the Polish underground and participated in the Warsaw Uprising. After the war he was persecuted and imprisoned by the ruling Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR) of the Polish People's Republic regime due to his membership in the Home Army (Armia Krajowa, AK) and opposition activity.
After the Revolutions of 1989, Bartoszewski served twice as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of democratic Poland from March through December 1995 and again from 2000 to 2001. He was also an ambassador and a member of the Polish Senate. Bartoszewski was a close ally and friend of Solidarity leader and later president of Poland, Lech Wałęsa.
