Czesław Czapów Activity in Partisan Units in the Kielce Region during World War II (1939-1945)

Abstract

Czesław Czapów from the University of Warsaw enrolled in the pages of Polish science as the creator of the Warsaw school of rehabilitation. In 2020, 40 years have passed scince his sudden, premature death. He left great scientific works, which until now constitute the basic reading in the field of rehabilitation sciences. He also remained in the memories of fellow colleagues who, however, do not really know much about his private life or his early years. The presented text aims to introduce one of the very interesting (completely unknown) threads in the life of Czesław Czapów, namely activity in partisan units during the Second World War in Kielcczyzna. At the same time, it is a part of a larger work related to him that is being prepared. The conducted research is part of the stream of qualitative research, and their specificity requires the use of a specific methodology of data collection, based on historical, biographical, historical and educational, historical and pedagogical research. I used a triangulation of methods and data. The source of information about Czesław Czapów's activities during World War II, on the basis of which I have compiled the following text, are source and archival materials, press articles, documents and photographs, an interview and the available literature on the subject.
