Curriculum vitae

He was the son of Michal (official) and Jadwiga of Jełca. He attended Radom as a pupil for a youth organization close to the Polish Socialist Party and attended high school and gymnasium. He began his studies at the Legal Department of the Imperial University of Warsaw, where he was expelled after leading the way in preparing for the student strike. For fear of repression he lived in the country for several years. He graduated from the University of Odessa in 1908.

With a diploma from Odessa, he went to Lodz, where he became an assistant to the well-known lawyer Aleksander Mogilnicki. The latter brought him to work in the local Polish Culture Society, where in 1909 Kamienski was assigned the duties of the Secretary of the Department. In February of that year Kamieński, next to Mogilnicki, was a signatory of the proclamation on the establishment of a public library in Lodz. He took part in the work on launching the activity of free reading room and rental. In 1916, when the Society of Polish Culture had not been operating for three years due to the Tsarist decision, Kamienski joined the Organizing Committee of the Society of the Public Library in Łódź. Upon approval of the statute of the association, he sat in his Central Board. As a result of these activities, the Public Library in Lodz was established, and in 1922 it was taken over by the city (it was called Ludwik Waryński).

Apart from social activities in the field of culture, Kamieński developed his professional career. Since 1911 he has been running his own law firm. In 1918 he became vice-president of the Regional Court in Lodz, and two years later, in recognition of the merits of postwar reorganization of the judicial district of Lodz, he was appointed president. He engaged in efforts to get a new court building. He was also interested in the fate of the library because of his high position, occasionally acting as a protector of the institution itself and its staff. In 1927 he moved to a similar position in Warsaw, where he remained until the outbreak of World War II. Years spent in Romania. On his return to Poland he was appointed Vice-President of the District Court in Slupsk in August 1945, where he died less than a year later. Honors Bibliography
