about

Zuzanna Ginczanka was born Zuzanna Polina Gincburg in Kiev, then part of the Russian Empire. Her Jewish parents fled the Russian Revolution, settling in the Yiddish-speaking, then-Polish town of Równe, now in Ukraine.
Ginczanka spoke both Russian, the choice of her emancipated parents, and the Polish of her friends. Her longing to become a Polish poet caused her to choose the Polish language. She published her first poems while still at school.
During the years 1939-1941 she lived in Soviet Lviv, working as an editor. She wrote a number of Soviet propaganda poems. She moved to Nazi-occupied Kraków in 1941, her perfect Polish allowing her to survive as a non-Jew under a false identity. However, friends connections to the resistance twice led to her denunciation and arrest. She was eventually denounced by the owner of her house, which led to her execution in 1944.
Despite the quality of her poetry, she was ignored and forgotten in postwar Poland, as communist censors deemed her work to be undesirable.
In 1991, after Poland regained independence, a volume of her collected poems was published, and in 1994 a biography by Izolda Kiec.
