Boris Sielicki-Korczak (; born February 11, 1939) is a Polish national and United States citizen, who worked as a CIA field operative between 1973 and 1979. Personal life Korczak was born in Vilnius, Polish-Lithuania on February 11, 1939, shortly before the start of World War II. He married Barbara Sielicki-Korczak (née Kaniewski) in 1971 and is a father of two children, Robert Sielicki-Korczak (born 1973) and Sandra Sielicki-Korczak (born 1978). Polish Underground and escape from Poland As a teenager, Korczak joined up with the Polish Underground who sought out, punished and killed Soviets and their Polish agents who were responsible for torturing and killing Polish political prisoners.
