Disciplinary Proceedings against Warsaw Astronomers Michał Kamieński and Maciej Bielicki for Their Activities During World War II

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: I present post-World War II disciplinary proceedings against two astronomers from the University of Warsaw: Michał Kamieński and Maciej Bielicki. They both requested such proceedings, but the de facto accuser was another astronomer, Jan Gadomski. I also discuss the related topic of appointing Kamieński’s successor as the director of the University of Warsaw Astronomical Observatory and some side topics found in the documents pertaining to the disciplinary proceedings.
