Stanislaw Lem is recognized among Jewish contributors to Arts & Literature — Polish science-fiction author ('Solaris')
Stanisław Lem was a Polish science-fiction author whose philosophical novels — above all 'Solaris' — explored the limits of human understanding and contact with the truly alien; he is among the most translated non-English SF writers. Born into a family of Jewish origin, he survived the German occupation using false papers; he was raised Catholic and later described himself as an atheist.
