I first heard his music in an excellent BBC documentary[1] about Auschwitz, that I thoroughly recommend. It offers a somewhat nuts and bolts window into the machinery of death, as it was built over time, with a lot of participation and even enthusiasm and "innovation" from many sector's of the German war effort that some have tried to falsely call "clean".
It's also where I first heard Górecki's harrowing Symphony No. 3 (aka Symphony of Sorrowful Songs).
