Bernard Bezubik - born 1909 in Krakow, the son of a biologist, protozoologa Henry Raabe, a professor of Jan Kazimierz University in Lvov, the first rector of the University in Lublin. He completed secondary school in 1927 and the same year began studying biological Warsaw University. During her studies she worked at the Zoological Museum in Warsaw, where he conducts research activities under the guidance of world-renowned zoologist and Parasitologist - Professor Konstanty Janicki, the result of which is some scientific publications, including a master's degree (1937) and prepared to defend and submitted for publication in 1939 dissertation Fri. ?? Research on family Hysterocynetidae Diesing (Ciliata - Holotricha) ??. Doctoral thesis did not take place because of the war. Both during their studies and throughout the period of professional activity is Z.Raabe constantly associated with social work, initially at scientific and political student organizations, working in the education workers, later moving jednolitofrontowym. In 1933-35 Z.Raabe done military service in the School Podchrążych in Zambrów. Mobilized in 1939.

For activities during the war, he is awarded the Cross of Valor and the Silver Cross of the Order of Military Virtue. After returning in 1945. In the country working as a curator at the Zoological Museum in Warsaw, where her doctorate in the field of zoology. In 1946-47, after moving to Lublin, where he is a curator at the Museum of Natural History UMTS, the habilitation (1947) on the basis of the trial ?? Dear morphological adaptations to a parasitic life of infusoria ??. This includes the Department of Zoology and Parasitology Faculty of Veterinary UMTS. In 1948-50 he serves as deputy dean of the Faculty The next stages of scientific career Z.Raabe is to achieve in 1948. Academic title of associate professor, and in 1956. Professor. In 1965. Professor Raabe was elected corresponding member of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and in 1972. Obtained the dignity of a real member of the Academy. During his activity in Lublin (1946-1953) lectures of Zoology and Parasitology at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and the Faculty of Biology UMTS, she is a co-founder of the first European association parasitologists - Polish Parasitological Society. Since its inception Annales UMCS serves as editor of biological section, then editor-in-chief. He is also the founder and chief editor created in 1953 the magazine ?? Acta Polonica Parasitologica ??, which in later years become an international magazine. Then, already in operation at the University of Warsaw, he creates (1962) and edits the international journal ?? Acta Protozoologica ??, issued by the Polish Academy of Sciences. Since the inception of the Polish Academy of Sciences Professor Zdzislaw Raabe has different functions in their bodies, including He is a member of the Scientific Council of the Institute of Parasitology Academy of Sciences and a member of the Academy of Parasitology. In both of these institutions does not function managers (only because, because they do not agree to their inclusion), but you can say with all responsibility that there are ?? brain ??, designer and founder, ?? guard ?? appropriate actions scientific and organizational Apart from organizational activities Professor stay in Lublin marked His wonderful lectures, conceived extremely modern and uncompromising (including boldly criticizes lysenkoism), which mass-attending students. Educates academic staff and conducts high quality research. As a result, there are many significant and wysokoocenianych scientific work and publications. In previous studies we deal with Professor adaptation of parasitic protozoa, mainly ciliates (Holotricha, Astomata and Thigmotricha). In these ciliates examines the impact of the environment on the structure of the parasites. Analyzes the impact of the transition to a settled way of life, structure and propagation of protozoa. Attempts to revise systems Protozoa. In later years, Zdzislaw Raabe tends to present generalizations in the field protozoology. This is particularly evident in the work ?? Remarks on the Principles and outline of the system of Protozoa (Acta Protozool. 1964) ??, which represents a new concept of development of the System of the polymerization and differentiating elements of which bodies are composed, and their subsequent integration. Professor Z.Raabe believes that this path of development is not limited to the protozoa, but also applies to other organisms. Illustrates this concept at international conferences in London (1965), Clermont-Ferrand, Montpellier (1967), Leningrad (1969). The crowning achievement of research activity Zdzislaw Raabe publications are presented in the form of monographs ?? Ordo Thigmotricha (Ciliata-Holotricha) ??. He explains in the morphogenesis protozoa, compounds of parasitism, evolutionary trends and roads. Very demanding of himself, extremely hard-working, able to Professor Raabe gather around him a large group of scientists and students. With his vast expertise and humanistic draw inspiration and encouragement to work dozens of his students, of which more than twenty obtained a doctoral degree, and six habilitated doctor. Kind, caring attitude towards colleagues and students won him recognition and respect of many people's care teaching and research share a honor Zdzislaw Raabe combines high qualities of an outstanding scientist, teacher and educator. He is a member of many national and international scientific societies m.in .: Grouppement des Protistologues de la Langue Francaise, Protozoological Society, Warsaw Scientific Society, Polish Zoological Society. In the late 50's it is one of the initiators of the international traffic in the area protozoology, representing Poland in ?? International Commision on Protozoology ?? In recognition of his contributions to science are Polish Him awarded high prizes (state award scientific third degree in 1950. And twice the prize of the Minister of Higher Education in 1963 and 1965.) And distinctions: Officer's Cross and the Order of Polonia Restituta Polish. - Edit
