Oskar Halecki

Oskar Halecki (26 May 1891, Vienna – 17 September 1973, White Plains, New York) was a Polish historian, social and Catholic activist.
==Life and career==
Halecki, whose first name is sometimes spelled Oscar in English-language sources, was born in Vienna to a Polish officer serving in the Austrian army. His father, Oscar Chalecki-Halecki, achieved the rank of Lieutenant Field-marshal. His mother was Leopoldina deDellimanic.
After graduating with a doctorate from the Jagiellonian University (1909–1913), he served briefly as a research assistant to Bronisław Dembiński in Warsaw, before continuing his education at the University of Vienna (1914–1915). He secured his first teaching position in 1915 as a docent at his alma mater, the Jagiellonian University. He was disqualified from military service due to poor eyesight. In his early years, Halecki wore Pince-nez, which combined with his mustache gave him an aristocratic appearance. Halecki moved to the Warsaw University in 1918 where he was appointed to a Chair of East European History.
After the Armistice was signed, Halecki was appointed Secretary General of a committee of experts attached to the Polish Delegation at the Paris Peace Conference. Even though he had been appointed as Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy at the Jagiellonian (1920), Halecki spent a decade in international service. In 1921, he was appointed as a member of the League of Nations Secretariate in Geneva, where he spent three years organizing that body's Committee on Intellectual Co-operation. He then spent a year in Paris as Chief of the University Section in the League's Institute on Intellectual Co-operation, and then spent several years working on its various commissions. After a ten year absence, Halecki returned to his professorship at the University of Warsaw until 1939, during which time he also served as Dean of the Faculty of Humanities (1930–1931). During 1938, he went to the United States as a visiting scholar of the Kosciuszko Foundation, giving over forty lectures at colleges and universities.
Halecki was attending a conference in Fribourg when Germany invaded Poland, which triggered the Second World War. Rather than returning to occupied Poland, he went to Paris, where he organized the Polish University in Exile and served as its President, taught at the Sorbonne, and edited an émigré periodical called ''La Voix de Varsovie''. When Germany invaded France in 1940, Halecki escaped to the United States with the help of Stephen Mizwa and the Kosciuszko Foundation, where he spent two years as a Visiting Professor of History at Vassar College, before becoming Executive Director of the newly formed Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences in America, which was conceived as an American outpost of the Polska Akademia Umiejętności - Bronisław Malinowski was PIASA's first President, and Halecki was later President from 1952 to 1964.
Halecki became a Professor of Eastern European History at Fordham University from 1944 to 1961, during which time he was also affiliated with the University of Montreal from 1944 to 1951, and also was an adjunct professor at Columbia University from 1955 to 1961, where he contributed to the prestige of Columbia's Institute on East Central Europe. After his "retirement" in 1961, he was a visiting professor at Loyola University in Rome (1962-1963), University of Fribourg (1963), University of California at Los Angeles (1963-1964), and Good Counsel College (1964-1967).
As a historian, Halecki was an expert on the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, which laid the foundation for his thesis that Eastern Europe (distinct from Russia) was no less European than Western Europe, that they were both part of one great European community of people that shared the same spiritual ideals and cultural traditions. His work led to the gradual acceptance of the concept and name of East Central Europe. His magnum opus was a two-volume history of the Jagiellonian Union, published in 1919-1920. Much of his retirement was occupied with working on a biography of Jadwiga of Anjou, which was published two decades after his death.
Halecki also served on the controversial "Committee of Ten" in Scarsdale, New York, which claimed Communist influence in the public school curriculum during the 1950s.〔A Sort of Utopia, Scarsdale, 1891-1981 by Carol A. O'Connor, Pp. 261-262〕
Among the many students he mentored were Thaddeus V. Gromada, Taras Hunczak, and Eugene Kusielewicz.
Halecki was married to Helen de Sulima-Szarlowska, who died in 1964.
