JĂłzef Bem
Józef Zachariasz Bem, Bem József in Hungarian (March 14 1794, Tarnów in Galicia—December 10 1850, Aleppo, Ottoman Syria), was a Polish general and a national hero of Poland and Hungary, and a figure intertwined with other European nationalisms. Just as Tadeusz Kościuszko (who fought in the American War of Independence) or Jan Henryk Dąbrowski (who fought alongside Napoleon Bonaparte in Italy and the Russian campaign), Bem fought outside Poland's borders for the future of Poland; he fought everywhere his leadership and military skills were needed.
