The capital of Poland was then under the Russian occupation. In the 18th century, three states: Russia, Prussia and Austria seized Polish lands by force and erased Poland from the map of Europe for 123 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maurycy&#8217;s grandfather fought for Polish independence in the January Insurrection (1863-1864). His grandson continued the family tradition and took part in a patriotic demonstration in 1894, for which he was imprisoned for three weeks by the Russian authorities. However, this did not discourage him from engaging in activities for Poland. In 1907, newspapers reported that the Russian regime had arrested Bornsztajn again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maurycy was involved in neurology and psychiatry. In 1908 he became head of the psychiatric division at the Old Jewish Hospital in Warsaw &#8211; a post he held for 31 years. He was one of the first Polish psychoanalysts. He founded the Polish Psychiatric Society and was engaged in the work of the Society for the Care of the Poor, Nervously and Mentally Ill Jews.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Germany invaded Poland in 1939 and unleashed the Second World War, the hospital where Bornsztajn worked suffered hard times. In 1940, the German Nazis established the Warsaw Ghetto.\u00a0 Disease, hunger, and poverty reigned there, along with German violence. The Nazis forced Maurycy to move there, even though he was a Catholic. At the same time, the occupiers closed down his private practice as a psychiatrist. Bornsztajn, however, managed to survive the Holocaust and helped by the Dry\u0144ski family.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the Second World War Bornsztajn became a professor at the University of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a. He published over 60 scientific works (5 were written during the Second World War). He died on 5 March 1952 in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He came from a Jewish family that was involved in Polish independence aspirations.\u00a0 Maurycy Bornsztajn fought for the Polish raison d&#8217;etat as much as for the health of mentally ill&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":42544,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-history"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.4 -
