After the war, Stanisław Lem and his parents left Lwów for Kraków as part of the postwar resettlement of Poles. Biographical accounts differ on the exact year: Poland’s National Centre for Culture and Lem’s official chronology give 1945, while another Lem biography page gives 1946. In Kraków, he continued medical studies at the Jagiellonian University’s Faculty of Medicine.
