- Michał Grynberg was born Mayer Grynberg to a Jewish family in Sławatycze, Poland. His parents were Gitla (Blumsztajn) and Borys Grynberg. After completing his education, he became a teacher. In 1932, he joined the Communist Party of Poland, whose members were persecuted by the government, and spent three years in prison. Following the outbreak of World War II, he found himself in the Soviet Union, and served in the Red Army from 1942 to 1945. Following the war, he returned to Poland and settled in Legnica, where he headed the local Jewish Committee. As a Jewish Polish historian, he became a longtime associate and researcher of the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw. He is best known for his work compiling and publishing oral histories of Jews who survived the Holocaust. His books included Words to Outlive Us: Eyewitness Accounts from the Warsaw Ghetto (1988; USA edition, 2002).
