Alicia Nitecki /ni'tetski/,〔She was born Alicia Wysocka, later was given her stepfather's name Korzeniowski, until she married Zbigniew Nitecki.〕 (born January 2, 1942) is an American author and professor of English Literature at Bentley University, Waltham, Massachusetts == Early life in Europe == From 1942 to 1944 Alicia Nitecki lived in Nazi-occupied Warsaw with her upper-middle-class family. After the crush of the Warsaw Uprising in August 1944 she and her family were deported by the Nazis to the west of Germany and finally lived in a labor camp in Lauterbach, Baden-Württemberg until 1945.〔The stay in Lauterbach and later visits to the place in the 1990s are reflected in a chapter ''Lauterbach-im-Schwarzwald'' in Nitecki's book ''Recovered Land''.〕 After the war they were taken to a Polish displaced persons' camp in the Canton of La Courtine, France near Nantes and finally to Carqueiranne in southern France, where Alicia Nitecki went to a French elementary school until 1947. In April 1948 the family came to England and frequently changed residences, which meant for Alicia frequent changes of educational institutions. She took her eleven plus exam at Scalford Church of England school, and, after another move to Derby, in the English midlands, she attended grammar school, and later a Catholic School, from which in 1960, she went to study English Literature at Sheffield University, where William Empson was head of the English Department. After graduation from Sheffield, Alicia Nitecki took a secretarial course at the City of London College, and worked as secretary and, additionally, as baby-sitter, in which capacity she was employed by the family of the American literary scholar Richard Ellman. Ellman suggested that she should do graduate work in English in America and wrote her a recommendation. She was accepted at the State University of New York in Buffalo in 1966. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alicia Nitecki」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
