Leopold Tyrmand is vice president of the Rockford Institute and editor of its two periodicals, Chronicles of Culture and The Rockford Papers. His long career as an author and journalist has included five novels published in his native Poland, another four books published in the United States, and countless articles for newspapers and magazines on both sides of the Atlantic over the past 35 years. Born in Warsaw in 1920, Mr. Tyrmand was educated in Poland and France. During World War II he fought in the Polish Resistance movement against the German and Russian occupations. After the war he took up journalism and was active as an early member of Poland's progressive Catholic opposition circle. Mr. Tyrmand emigrated to the United States in 1966 following several years of tightening censorship over his work in Poland. Over the next decade he was published widely in The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, and other leading journals throughout this country, Britain, and West Germany. He came to the Rockford Institute in 1976.
