    Abstract:
    Professor Antoni Jurasz was one of the most eminent Polish surgeons in the period between the two World Wars. He founded the Polish School of Medicine at the University of Edinburgh and the Polish Paderewski Hospital in Edinburgh in 1941. Having served in the Prussian Army he was also a co-founder of the military health service of the Polish Armed Forces. He was an educator of great format and a fierce patriot. This is an opportunity to remember a man and surgeon who devoted the last years of his life to the cause of closer rapprochement between nations in the name of well-conceived service to Poland and to humanity. The establishment of a Polish School of Medicine within the framework of Edinburgh University is a magnificent example of international academic collaboration. Extensive research was undertaken to collect the literature and documents in Polish, German and British libraries and archives in order to prepare this study.
