AbstractHistoryArchive Description
This essay is a chapter extracted from Chciuk's autobiographical work Atlantyda (1969). It recalls his experiences as a pupil of the brilliant Polish Jewish writer and artist Bruno Schulz, who was Chciuk's art teacher at his high school in the town of Drohobycz in the 1920s. The essay is framed with the knowledge of Schulz's murder in 1942 at the hands of a Nazi officer.
