 A Polish Partisan’s Story: Hubal, Auschwitz, and Beyond
By Aleksandra Ziolkowska-Boehm
The story of Major Henryk “Hubal” Dobrzanski and his men’s desperate fight against the Nazis was immortalized in Melchior Wañkowicz’s 1946 novel Hubalczycy (The Hubal Partisans). Through that novel, the Hubal partisans earned a place in the hearts of the Polish people. With the publication of A Polish Partisan’s Story, their tale will become better known to the English speaking world.
This biography details the fascinating life of one of the Hubal partisans, Roman Rodziewicz, as told to author Aleksandra Ziolkowska-Boehm. Roman’s life story is a true odyssey, ranging from his childhood in Manchuria, his youth as a cavalryman in the Polish army, coming of age with the Hubal partisans, his incredible survival in the death camp at Auschwitz, and his expatriate life in London. The difficult history of the Polish people finds a variety of expressions in the lives of her heroes, and this story is emotionally compelling and beautifully rendered.

“I am delighted that you are making such a wonderful contribution to a greater national recognition of what transpired during the difficult war years. It is a story that shouldn’t be forgotten, and I think you have done extremely well in giving the younger generation a vivid picture of what was taking place.” – Zbigniew Brzezinski, National Security Adviser to President Jimmy Carter
