Mycielski served in the Polish military during World War II and became a prisoner of war after being captured by the German Army. For the rest of the war, he did compulsory work for a German farmer. After the war ended, he returned to Poland and served two terms as editor for ''Ruch Muzyczny'' (1946–1948 and 1957–1959) before becoming editor-in-chief from 1960 to 1968. His political views clashed with communist Polish authorities, however. His publications caused him to be ousted as editor-in-chief of ''Ruch Muzyczny''; his writings were then subject to strict censorship and he was forbidden to leave the country.
Mycielski continued his political activism though. In 1975, he signed a group letter with other Polish intellectuals protesting proposed changes to the Polish constitution by the Communist party. In 1978, he founded the Academic Education Society, a student organisation that was deemed illegal and later banned.
Mycielski died in Warsaw and he was buried in Wiśniowa on the Wisłok River. Provided by Wikipedia
