Life He was born in a family of Polish Jews to Michał Hertz and Paulina nee Turower. He attended Gimnazjum im. Mikołaja Reja in Warsaw, dropped out on his own volition and never attempted the final exams. In 1935–1937 he traveled through Austria and Italy, sometimes accompanied by people such as Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz. Late 1937 he started living in Paris where he attended lectures on Écoles des Hautes Études Internationales. In the summer of 1939, he returned to Poland. After the outbreak of World War II, he reached Lviv via the Stradecz estate. There, in January 1940, he was arrested and imprisoned by the Russians in the Zamarstyniv prison, and then sentenced to eight years in the camp, after which he was sent to the camp in Ivdel in Siberia through the prisons in Kherson and Dnepropetrovsk.

Private life Hertz left no diaries or autobiographies, and in his interview Sposób Życia published in 1997 he posed as a heterosexual, old-fashioned misanthrope, never using the word "homosexual" in any context in the book. As an adult, Hertz tried to hide both his Jewish origins and sexual orientation. Both became known to the Polish People's Republic authorities, up to a point of a delation archived in IPN explicitly calling Hertz homosexual and drawing attention to his relationship with Henryk Krzeczkowski. Hertz was affiliated with Catholic Church for a long time, but became baptized only at the age of 60. In gay circles he was sometimes called "the princess of Israel".
