abstract: The authors present the biography of the laryngologist Tadeusz Antowski Ph.D. (1919-1966). The medical studies at the University of Poznań, which he started with his brother Marian (1915-1943), were interrupted by World War II. During the Nazi occupation both students were imprisoned in the concentration camp in Dachau, where Marian died in a tragic accident. Tadeusz Antowski was appointed to work in the Laryngological-Eye Station in this camp. After the liberation of Poland he continued his study and work in Otolaryngological Clinic at Poznań University. Having done the PhD thesis he took over the lectureship in this clinic. Soon he was called up to the military service and in 1951 became the chief of Otolaryngological Department in the 8-th Army Hospital in Toruń. He was an active member of Polish Medical Association and the president of the Toruń branch. Tadeusz Antowski died on 02.11.1966 in Gdańsk.
