Biography

Igo Sym was born in Innsbruck, Austria in 1896. Before working as an actor he served from 1918-1921 in the Polish army. After working in silent films he was engaged by the theater in Warsaw, where he often appeared with his "Singing Saw".

When in 1939 the Germans ran over Poland, Sym started to collaborate with them. At this time many Polish people where head-hunted, and many of them where celebrities. Sym worked for the Gestapo and trapped some of these searched people (among them was the famous singer Hanka OrdonĂłwna). When the Polish underground-gouvernment found out about Sym's contacts with the Gestapo, he was executed in his apartment on March 7th 1941.
