It is part of the collection

Władysław Bibrowski was born in December 1944 in Paris. His parents emigrated before the war because they were supporters of the Polish Socialist Party (PPS). After the war, they returned to Poland. His father, Mieczysław Bibrowski, was a journalist and worked at the Polish Press Agency (PAP). His mother was Izabella Zyltenberg. They lived in Mokotów, Warsaw. He had two sisters – an elder sister born in 1943 and a younger sister born in 1950 right before they returned to Poland.

For several years, they lived in Yugoslavia (in connection with the father’s work at a diplomatic mission), where Władysław Bibrowski went to a Serbian school. In Warsaw, he attended the Association of the Friends of Children (Polish: Towarzystwo Przyjaciół Dzieci, TPD) Primary School No. 3 and then Maria Konopnicka School No. 42 at Madalińskiego Street. He studied at the Warsaw University of Technology; he graduated from the university in 1968 and in autumn he started an apprenticeship at a plant producing Elta transformers in Łódź.

In 1969, he left Poland via Vienna for Rome and lived there for several months. He then travelled by ship from Naples to Melbourne. In Australia, he completed a teaching course and worked as a teacher of mathematics and physics at a secondary school. He visited Israel twice. He started preparations for his doctoral thesis at the University of Townsville. In 1989, he came to Poland, began working as a translator and stayed in the country. He has a 13-year-old son Beniamin.
