Bruno Schulz (July 12, 1892 – November 19, 1942) was a Polish-Jewish writer, literary critic, visual artist, and art teacher.
He is regarded as one of the great 20th-century Polish-language prose stylists. In 1938, he was awarded the prestigious Golden Laurel award of the Polish Academy of Literature.
Several of Schulz’s works were lost in the Holocaust, including short stories from the early 1940s and his final, unfinished novel, The Messiah.
In 1942, he was shot dead by a Gestapo officer while carrying a loaf of bread to his home in the Drohobycz Ghetto.
