Marta Aleksandra Balinska

Health-science researcher and author of For the Good of Humanity: Ludwik Rajchman, Medical Statesman (Central European University Press, 1998), the standard biography of the League of Nations/UNICEF public-health administrator Ludwik Rajchman.

Matters to this vault as its best secondary source on Rajchman with a load-bearing caveat: she is Rajchman's own great-granddaughter (daughter of mathematician Michel Balinski, himself Rajchman's grandson through his daughter Irena Rajchman Balinska) — a family memoir with privileged access to unpublished archives, not an arms-length outside account. Every secondary source citing her biography that this vault has read so far repeats generic "McCarthyism" language for Rajchman's 1957 US departure rather than the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee/James O. Eastland specificity his own FBI file establishes — unresolved as to whether that vagueness originates in her own text or in her citers' compression of it.
