Journal Title: Przegląd Historyczno-Oświatowy - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
Józef Miąso – professor emeritus of the Polish Academy of Sciences, born in 1930 in Witkowice in the Ropczyce county. The Ropczyce land (Ziemia Ropczycka) is located on the border of Carpatian Foothills and Sandomierz Basin. Ropczyce was founded in 1362 by King Casimir the Great. The author describes his life in interwar Poland and during German Nazi occupation. He takes empha- sis on his family life and home education. From 1936 to 1940 he attended rural el- ementary school in Witkowice and then for three years continued elementary ed- ucation in Ropczyce. These schools were the effect of the new School System Act of March 11, 1932, which somehow improved elementary education. In the period of the German occupation, Polish literature, history and geography were exclud- ed from curricula. It provoked Polish people to organize different forms of clan- destine education. The author, who completed seven grade elementary school in 1943, continued self-education at his family home. It was for him true education. He fell in love with Polish obligatory reading books, which greatly broadened his liberal education and prepared him to take up further education. In conclusion the author emphasized that he as a 14-year-old boy considered himself as an adult, as he belonged to the generation who was deprived of normal childhood.
