Estreicher
Estreicher (Polish Estreicherowie ) is the name of a family of Krakow scholars. Members of the family were instrumental in the editing of the "Bibliografia Polska", which appeared in 34 volumes. It was started by Karol Estreicher the Elder in 1872, continued by his son Stanisław and ended after almost 80 years (1951) by Karol's grandson Karol the Younger.
Several members of the Estreicher family were associated with the Jagiellonian University in Krakow ; Professor Stanisław Estreicher was brought to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp by the German authorities as part of the Krakow special campaign and died there. The last heir to the family tradition, Krystyna Grzybowska, left the unfinished “family chronicle”.
