Dwieście Lat Marie Skłodowska–Curie!

Marie Skłodowska–Curie is perhaps one of the most known Polish scientists. She worked as a physicist and chemist who conducted groundbreaking research on radioactivity. She was the first Woman to win the Nobel prize, and the first person to win the Nobel prize twice. Her first Nobel prize in Physics she co-won with her Husband Pierre Curie in 1903 for their theory of radioactivity. Marie won her next Nobel prize in 1911 for her discovery of Polonium and Radium.

Skłodowska–Curie was born in Congress Poland (then part of the Russian Empire) on November 7th 1867. In 1891 she left for France, eventually becoming a naturalized citizen. Although a citizen of France, Skłodowska–Curie never lost her connection to her Polish heritage. This is why she named one of her discoveries Polonium after Poland.

Marie Curie died at the age of 66 on July 4th 1934 from aplastic anemia, likely caused by exposure to radiation during her research as well as work in a field hospital during the First World War.

🇵🇱 Did your ancestors serve in the Polish Armed Forces in the West? Were they in the Polish Resettlement Corps?

🔍 Do you know that families can obtain military records and personal items of former Polish soldiers?

The Polish Resettlement Corps (PRC) (Polish: Polski Korpus Przysposobienia i Rozmieszczenia) was a British military unit created in the aftermath of World War II to help resettle Polish soldiers and civilians who had been displaced by the war. The PRC played an important role in the post-war history of both Poland and the United Kingdom, as it allowed Polish refugees to start new lives in Britain while also providing the UK with a pool of highly trained and experienced soldiers.

The PRC was established in 1946, as part of the larger effort to resettle the millions of displaced persons in Europe after the end of the war. The Corps was made up of Polish soldiers who had fought alongside the British during the war, as well as civilians who had been displaced by the conflict.

Warsaw, intersection of Nowy Świat Street and Jerozolimskie Avenues. Comparison from 1934 and 2021.

The buildings on Nowy Swiat Street were largely destroyed during the defense of Warsaw in September 1939. After the war, in March 1947, reconstruction began on the buildings along the street, which were lowered to two floors, i.e. to the maximum height found in the period of the Kingdom of Poland.
