Adam Skwarczyński

After the death of Wincenty Skwarczynski (1888), whole family moved to Lwów, where Adam, as a teenager, joined Polish independence organizations.

After graduation from high school Skwarczynski began studies at Lwów University, as he planned to be a teacher of the Polish language.

As a staff officer, he fought in the area of Kielce, and was later transferred to intelligence department of the Polish Legions in World War I.

In the early 1920s, he married Anna (née Pradzynska), and together with Adam Koc, Janusz Jędrzejewicz and Tadeusz Hołówko founded the “Road” (“Droga”) monthly magazine.

In 1925, he issued a pamphlet, in which he harshly criticized General Władysław Sikorski, who was regarded as one of main opponents of Józef Piłsudski.
