Biography

Both of Katarzyna Łaniewska's parents came from Łódź. Her father was an activist of the co-operative and a former legionnaire during World War II, who was murdered because he was considered a "dangerous element" by the Nazis at Auschwitz. This was, however, denounced by a colleague of Belarusian origin. Along with her mother and siblings, she survived the Warsaw Uprising, but was sent to the transit camp in Pruszków. Łaniewska and her family returned to Warsaw on 17 January 1945.

In the Polish parliamentary elections in 2011, Łaniewska was the nonpartisan candidate to the Senate on behalf of the Law and Justice party in Warsaw. She received nearly 100 thousand votes (nearly 31%) and lost to the Civic Platform party's Barbarą Borys-Damięcką with almost 197 thousand. She regularly engages in activities supporting the Law and Justice Party, and was one of the main speakers on behalf of the organizers of the "March of Freedom and Justice" on 13 December 2015.
