Life
Life
He was born on 29 June 1936 in Hnilcze (Ukrainian: Гнильче). In 1945, after the expulsion from the Eastern Borderlands, he and his family settled in Mieszkowice, Western Poland. He graduated from high school in 1955. He was subsequently expelled from the Higher School of Diplomatic Service on the grounds of his church attendance and the refusal to join the Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR), the Communist party which governed the Polish People's Republic. Between 1955 and 1956, he worked as a teacher in Zielin. He made his literary debut in 1958 in Opole. In 1960, he graduated in Polish philology from the University of Opole. In the years 1960–68, he worked as a high school teacher in Legnica. After the 1968 Polish political crisis, known as the March events, he was forced to leave his post as a teacher. Between 1970 and 1981, he worked as a journalist of the Wiadomości magazine. He then worked as press secretary of Solidarity and was also a member of the Fighting Solidarity organization. Between 1990 and 1993, he lectured at the University of Wrocław. He has been a member of the Polish Writers' Union (ZLP), Polish Society of Authors and Composers and the Polish Translators' Society. He is known for his short story Nienawiść (Hatred, 2006) as well as novels Ukraiński kochanek (Ukrainian Lover, 2008) and Zdrada (Betrayal, 2009) in which he deals with the subject of the Volhynian Genocide perpetrated by Ukrainian nationalists on the Polish population of Volhynia in 1943. In 2016, Polish filmmaker Wojciech Smarzowski directed an award-winning film Volhynia based on Srokowski's 2006 short story Hatred.
