Seweryn Chomet
Seweryn Chomet, FInstP (6 May 1930 in Drohobycz, Poland – 24 July 2009 in London, England) was a physicist, author, journalist, historian, publisher, prolific translator of Russian scientific journals into English, and former visiting research fellow of King's College London. He was a colleague and friend of such famous scientists as the physicists John Randall and Maurice Wilkins; he had just finished the book he had been writing for the last few years, ''Dr. Groer and The General's Hat'', about the history of Poland and the discovery of E. coli, when he died at his home in Chelsea, London, where he lived for many years in later life, on 24 July 2009 after battling what his doctors said, shortly before he died, was motor neurons disease, for about a year. He had previously been married to Dr. Jane Chomet, née Janina (Jane) Rosita Friedman (Lwow, Poland, 10 March 1934 – 19 February 1994; married 1957 (dissolved 1972 )). He is buried in a Jewish cemetery, run by the United Synagogue, in Bushey, on the outskirts of North West London.
For the last 35 years and more of his life, he formed a partnership and marriage with Christine, his second wife and stepmother to his two sons and one daughter, Julian, William and Ann.
==Birth and education==
He often spoke with great pride about the beauty and architectural splendour of Drohobycz but retained bitter memories of the anti-Semitism that was prevalent in Poland at that time. When the war started, he was left with a friend of his mother as his parents were forcibly taken by the Russians to serve as doctors in the army. It was through this friend's immense act of kindness and bravery that he was able to hide for most of the war and survive the horrors that enveloped Poland during the 1940s. After the war he escaped to England, where he was soon joined by his parents who set up a medical practice in Stamford Hill in North London.
While in his mid teens, they sent him to a "yeshiva", a Jewish seminary, run by an orthodox Jewish movement known as the "Lubavitch". But soon after he ran away, with the intention of becoming a tailor, never to return. His father tracked him down and made sure he got down to some serious studying which eventually took him to study physics at what was then known as Regent Street Polytechnic. From there he went to do research at what would become his intellectual home for most of his life: King's College London. His intellectual excellence was recognised early on with the offer of a lectureship while still a postgraduate. He became a passionate and dedicated teacher and mentor to many science students during his 40-year tenure. Many of his former pupils remember him as someone who could make a physics lecture fun and entertaining.
