The Polish-born Jaworski attended universities across [[Europe]] and hence learned multiple languages. He was a sprinter on the Polish team but did not compete in the 1936 Summer Olympics, best remembered for the strong performance of the American sprinter [[Jesse Owens]]. Jaworski was a first lieutenant in the Polish Army when war broke out in 1939. He was captured and spent more than four years in a POW camp in [[Germany]]. Jaworski escaped when United States tanks and troops forced German soldiers to abandon the camp.
