Following liberation and the end of World War II, he began to document the songs he had learned from other inmates. He dictated hundreds of songs in four languages to a nurse in Kraków. Due to his extensive interpretations of camp songs, he was nicknamed the Singer from Hell. Kulisiewicz died on 12 March 1982 in Kraków. He is buried at Salwator Cemetery. References
