This article includes a list of general references, but it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations. (February 2018)

Pankowski was born in Sanok. He was a member of the Polish resistance during World War II, and a prisoner in the Nazi concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. After the war, he settled in Belgium,[1] where he died in Brussels from pneumonia on 3 April 2011 at the age of 91.

Writing

Pankowski's Holocaust narratives critically engage with the Polish tradition; he frequently criticizes the pronounced patriarchalism cum Catholicism.[2] The controversy that resulted from his writing seems to stem from his "unconventional approach to sexuality, including same-sex love."[2]

Besides writing original work, Pankowski has published translations of Polish poetry into French.[1]
