Title
A name given to the resource
The Marie Curie-Sklodowska Institute in Warsaw, in 1945 and 1947, Reconstruction
Subject
The topic of the resource
Polish science and medicine, Reconstruction, Warsaw
Description
An account of the resource
Marie Curie, with friends family, and governmental support, was able to set up the Radium Institute in Warsaw. "A prominent group of American women, close friends of Madame Curie and devoted to the cause of America's fight against cancer, donated one gram of radium to the Institute. Thus Poland was able to take up her own large-scale fight against scourge of this mankind." The Institute was a hospital, lab, and library, but was closed and then partially destroyed during the war. The hospital continued operating until August 1944, the Warsaw Uprising. The Gestapo sought the radium that was hidden in the building, (1 gram hidden, 720 mg was handed over to the Germans). After the Warsaw Uprising, the Germans destroyed the building, killed the staff and patients (or moved them to Concentration Camps) and moved expensive equipment like X-rays back to Germany. The director was able to bribe a few German soldiers and rescue the radium amidst the ruins. After the war, the statue of Marie-Curie, like that of Copernicus, was left intact underneath the rubble. The Institute was restored with the aid of UNRRA resources. The photograph on the left was taken in 1945, the image on the right was taken in 1947.

Polish Medical Mission
Description
An account of the resource
By the time the Polish Medical Team had arrived, the found the hospital abandoned and empty, having been previously occupied and looted by the Germans and the Russians. There were no supplies, no equipment, and even the sinks were ripped out, except for a strange stockpile of toilet paper rolls. The Miners' Insurance company had owned the hospital, but agreed to sell it to the National Social Insurance Agency, with the Miner's Insurance company taking care of the renovations. The renovations went far beyond the estimated time, resulting in the hospital being open more than a year after the team hard arrived.
