## Biography

Jerzy Andrzejewski (19 August 1909 – 19 April 1983) was a Polish novelist and screenwriter. He studied Polish language and literature at the University of Warsaw and published his first short stories in the 1930s. His 1948 novel *Ashes and Diamonds* examined the moral and political tensions in Poland immediately after the Second World War.

Andrzejewski wrote the screenplay for Andrzej Wajda’s 1958 film adaptation of *Ashes and Diamonds*, in which he is credited alongside the director. He also wrote the screenplay for the 1960 film *Innocent Sorcerers*. After joining the Polish United Workers’ Party in 1950, he left following the events of 1956 and later became a founding member of the Workers’ Defence Committee (KOR) and a supporter of the Solidarity movement.
