"As early as the 1970s, a group of people friendly to Mackiewicz, and grouped in the Society of Friends of the Works of Józef Mackiewicz, in Orlando, Florida, USA, expressed a serious concern that the author's copyrights had been seized by Nina Karsov-Szechter. Nina, rescued as a kid from transport to Treblinka, was adopted by Stanisława Szymaniewska-Karsov. In 1964 she graduated from Polish philology at the University of Warsaw. In the early 1960s she met Simon Szechter, a dark historian who repatriated to Poland in 1957. She became his teacher and then a co-worker, a small later – his wife. In 1970, together with Simon Szechter, she founded the “Contra” publishing home in London, which is known primarily for publishing books by Józef Mackiewicz. As an heir to the wife of Józef Mackiewicz Barbara Toporska, she acquired the right to the legacy of the author in her succession, heavy torpedoing all publishing initiatives. These rights were the subject of a court dispute with Józef Mackiewicz's daughter Halina. Everyone in the emigration knew that there was no relation – family, racial, and especially ideological – between Nina Karsov-Shechter and the Mackiewiczs. Mackiewicz never intended to entrust his literary legacy or copyright to strangers. Especially since he had fewer but self-sacrifice friends on the emigration, and in Poland the closest household he felt active with. The rights to second-cycle national editions Mackiewicz passed by letter to his daughter Halina, who, however, burned the letter during the martial law period for fear of revision, as it contained the names of people from the conspiracy. After Mackiewicz's death in 1985, copyright was inherited by his companion of life – Barbara Toporska, who in turn wrote it down by Nina Karsov-Shechter. Since 1994, there has been proceedings before the territory Court in Warsaw for copyrights to works by Józef Mackiewicz, whose parties are the daughter of the author and Nina Karsov-Shechter. After 1989, Nina Karsov-Shechter retained all rights to the work of Józef Mackiewicz and does not let authoritative national editions, explaining this by the “will of the deceased” of her passed on and consistently conducting trials to anyone who, without her permission, published wider passages of his works (Mackiewicz, although opposed to publishing his books in PRL-owskie publishing houses, never said he was opposed to publishing his works in free Poland). In 2009, the court yet confirmed the full rights of Nina Karsov to print Mackiewicz's works, depriving the writer's actual daughter- Halina Mackiewicz, without the approval of Nina Karsov-Szechter even for prints of fragments of his father Joseph Mackiewicz." https://onlynietruda.org/biography/
