Zofia Rysiówna was one of the legends of the Polish theater. She took her education in 1938 at the State Drama School in Warsaw. However, the outbreak of World War II in 1939 ended her official training early. At first she continued her training underground, but in 1940 she joined the Polish Home Army in resistance against the German occupation. She mainly worked as a courier and took part in the liberation of Jan Karski from the hands of the Gestapo . In 1941 she was taken prisoner and taken to the Ravensbrück concentration camp in Germany. She stayed in Ravensbrück until the liberation in 1945 and then returned to Poland. She immediately took the external exam before the theater commission and became a stage actress. On October 30, 1945 she finally made her debut at the Słowacki Theater in Krakow .
In the early 1950s she moved from Krakow to Poznan , where she worked as a director with her future husband Adam Hanuszkiewicz . From 1955 she worked on various Warsaw theaters. Here she developed into one of the great tragedies of Polish theater. She achieved greater popularity primarily through her regular appearances on Polish theater television in the 1960s .
