The German invasion of Poland in September 1939 abruptly ended
author Jan Rosinski's student life, and propelled him into an
activist if not leadership role in the Polish resistance
organization, the Armia Krajowa or AK. In short order he became a
talented forger of Nazi documents, especially travel papers that
allowed many refugees to escape the city. His university studies in
chemistry and physics created a role for him as an effective
saboteur. Narrowly escaping death on more than one occasion, he was
fearless in his pursuits. His dislike of the Nazi leadership was
exceeded by an even greater hatred of the Soviet Army as it invaded
Poland from the East less than a month later. Poland would be
sealed off from the West for fifty years. Rosinski's travails as a
POW in Germany eventually led him to the Allied forces in Germany;
the U.S. became the beneficiary of his brilliant discoveries in
atmospheric science. Jan was accompanied on his life's journey by
his wife Barbara (d. 1993), who served as a medical officer in the
underground army; Jan died in 2012.
