Abstract: This text is dedicated to the relatively unknown Polish translator Jerzy Kamil Weintraub (1916–1943). The basis for this portrait is Weintraub‘s extensive personal archive, which fortunately survived the Nazi occupation of Warsaw during World War II and is now housed in the Literature Museum in Warsaw, though it has not yet been utilised for research. Based on these materials, this text reconstructs Weintraub‘s translator biography and his translation oeuvre, thus attempting a first recognition of Weintraub‘s significant contribution to the history of literary translation in Poland before 1945.
