Summary/Abstract: The author aims to describe and reconstruct the relationship between Leo Lipski and the poet Jerzy Kamil Weintraub on the basis of three unknown Lipski’s letters, found in the Józef Czechowicz Museum of Literature in Lublin and the Mickiewicz Museum of Literature in Warsaw. The author argues that this relationship significantly influenced Lipski’s life and works. Both authors worked together in two literary groups: “Zrzeszenie Najmłodszej Literatury” (The Youngest Literature Society) and “Wektory” (Vectors). The author also shows the influence Lipski’s writing (especially Egotyki) had on Weintraub’s war diary. He argues that Lipski’s works can be an interpretative key to the whole diary.
