Life

Bronisław Dardziński went to school in his native St. Petersburg, where he also experienced the October Revolution . In 1921 he returned to the land of his forefathers, to reborn Poland. There he took acting lessons and had his voice trained. In Budapest, Bronisław Dardziński attended courses in the Drama Department of the Conservatory. Back home in Poland, Dardziński gave his theatrical debut on September 1, 1926. This was followed by engagements at stages in Warsaw, Czestochowa, Katowice, Gdynia and Łódź until 1939. Most recently, in 1938/39, he was given smaller roles by Polish film and also received offers from local radio. The invasion of the German Wehrmacht interrupted Bronisław Dardziński's artistic activity immediately, and from then on theater work was only possible to a limited extent and on very small stages.

When the Austrian-born film actor and Gestapo informant Igo Sym was murdered in his apartment on March 7, 1941 by the execution squad of the Polish Underground State , this was to have dramatic consequences for Bronisław Dardziński as well. He was arrested along with a few colleagues and sent to the notorious Pawiak prison. In retaliation, he and over 1,000 other hostages, including his colleagues Stefan Jaracz , Tadeusz Kański , Zbigniew Sawan and Leon Schiller , were temporarily deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp on April 6, 1941 on behalf of SiPo and SD . After only a few weeks, Bronisław Dardziński, like most of his colleagues, was released again. After the suppression of the Warsaw Uprising , Dardziński fled to the Polish provinces (Kielce and Lublin) and continued there, as later (after the end of the war in 1945), in Warsaw, too, with his stage and film work. Mostly he now played dignitaries of all kinds and also worked sporadically in television productions. It was used twice (in One Generation and in Lotna ) by Poland's most important film director, Andrzej Wajda .
