He spent his childhood andadolescence in Warsaw, where he became a Master of Physics and later a PhD at Warsaw University. He was awarded a scholarship in London where he became a student, and later a colleague, of a world famous English Nobel laureate and physicist – James Chadwick. He was engaged in „Manhattan Project”, i.e. an American project of constructing an atomic bomb. He withdrew from it in 1944 when he realised what was the real intended use for the weapon. He received British citizenship in 1946. Year 1957 was a breaking point in his biography, since that year he, together with a famous English philosopher – Bertrand Russel, created a peace movement called Pugwash whose followers were scientists aiming at the liquidation of mass destruction weapons. In 1995, 50 years aer Americans dropped the bomb on Hiroshima, Józef Rotblat, together with the whole Pugwash movement, was awarded a Peace Nobel Prize. In 1998 he received British Knighthood.
