==Early life and education==
Witold Hurewicz was born in [[Łódź]], at the time one of the main Polish industrial hubs with economy focused on the textile industry. His father
Hurewicz attended school in a German-controlled Poland but with [[World War I]] beginning before he had begun [[secondary school]], major changes occurred in Poland. In August 1915 the Russian forces that had held Poland for many years withdrew. [[Germany]] and [[Austria-Hungary]] took control of most of the country and the [[University of Warsaw]] was refounded and it began operating as a Polish university. Rapidly, a [[Warsaw School (mathematics)|strong school of mathematics]] grew up in the University of Warsaw, with [[topology]] one of the main topics. Although Hurewicz knew intimately the topology that was being studied in Poland he chose to go to [[Vienna]] to continue his studies.
