Kacper Misiak

Kacper Misiak was a Polish university lecturer and communist revolutionary.

Kacper is also the father of Jan Misiak.

Early Life
Kacper was born in Warsaw in the Russian Empire. His family lived in absolute poverty and had 13 siblings, most of whom died when they were young. Kacper was known to be extraordinarily intelligent which earned him a university scholarship where he continued to study and earned a PhD in history.

Later Life
Kacper became a lecturer before being dismissed due to his public communist sympathies for which he frequently wrote about. Kacper wished for the communists to be victorious in the Russian Civil War and following their victory, he moved to Moscow where he became a teacher.

Kacper frequently published books supporting communists and hoped for a revolution to sweep Europe. Whilst in Moscow he met and married a former student, Maria Yahantov. The two married and gave birth to Jan. Kacper ordered Maria to take Jan to Poland where it appeared to be more prosperous in order to help Jan get better education. Kacper was banned by the new Republic of Poland from entering due to his communist views. As a result, he never saw Jan or Maria again and died of tuberculosis in 1930.
