Polish writer, Stanislaw Lem, was born in 1921. A doctor's son, Lem studied medicine until World War II and the Nazi occupation of Poland when he worked as a car mechanic and a welder and joined the anti-German resistance. Lem later resumed his medical studies, worked as a research assistant, and wrote stories in his spare time.
Much of Stanislaw Lem's work was science fiction in nature, and he was awarded an honorary membership in the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America in 1973. He was stripped of his membership three years later after describing American science fiction as kitsch.
