Abstract

The article describes a key moment in the life of Józef Jakóbkiewicz, a doctor and a scout and social activist, which was fundamental to his fate and professional activity. Because of the ‘Murmansk episode’ in 1918, when Jakóbkiewicz changed his route while escaping from Soviet Russia, he turned to caring and educational activities. Having completed his military service during World War I and worked as a doctor in Siberia, Jakóbkiewicz became involved in a campaign from 1919 to 1923 aimed at transporting Siberian children to Poland. He also helped children from Siberia after returning to the country and then resumed his medical career in the second half of the 1920s. The biographical thread described in this article focuses on the early stage of his life, preceding his achievements in helping children in the interwar period, which are known from the literature on the subject. The biographical materials used in this text were obtained from the resources of the Archives of the University of Warsaw and the Main Medical Library. The article describes the background of historical events and the socio-political situation, an understanding of which is crucial for presenting Jakóbkiewicz’s diverse life path.
