First created in Polish by JanCZ's great grand nephew, Sylwester Czochralski...
in 2012, this site has now been updated and enhanced by Sylwester to be readable in multiple languages. An expected relaunch will be in Q4-2025.

Another brilliant presentation of the JanCZ story as part of a "superheroes universe" created in 2021 by Dr. Tomasz Rozek and his Nauka To Lubie (Science I Like It) Foundation under the patronage of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The project features 32 acclaimed Polish scientists in total.  JanCZ is featured across 6 pages starting on Page 18, along with fabulous original art.  A hard copy book and playing cards have been created.  Also, in digital form, a free ebook and mobile game are available at this link:  akademiasuperbohaterów

So far there have been two documentaries made for viewing on Polish television, one made in 2014 and another in 2021.  Unfortunately both films rest in secured archives, required by their respective distribution contracts, and can only be accessed by special permission of the creators, distributors and copyright holders.  That is a pity as they are each very informative and have English-language subtitles.  We list them here just to keep track of them on this site -- in the event that either or both become available for individual public viewing via streaming to a global audience (even for a fee), and/or any of you become curious enough to track down the producers and beg for the special access link and password (like we did, haha).  There are a couple of Polish streaming sites where they may be rented for a fee."Powrot Chemika" ("Return of The Chemist")

"Jan Czochralski - Forefather of Electronics", part of a TVP Series called "Geniuses and Dreamers" about inventions that have become an integral part of our lives.https://vod.tvp.pl/programy,88/geniusze-i-marzyciele-odcinki,318794/odcinek-2,S01E02,1572095

In 2024, the President of the Polish Institute of National Remembrance, Dr. Karol Nawrocki, found himself passing through Kcynia Poland for a short visit with his son.  He stopped long enough to meet Mayor Mateusz Stachowiak and some of the locals.  And to create this sweet one minute video in front of the last home occupied by JanCZ and his family in the 1950s.  A few months later, Dr. Nawrocki was nominated as the candidate of one of Poland's political parties in the national election for President of the Republic of Poland - a contest which he won in 2025 after a runoff election.  While President Nawrocki speaks fluent English, this video is in Polish; the translation is: "Here in Kcynia, in this house, lived Jan Czochralski, a giant of Polish science, thanks to whom we have smartphones and many other devices that today determine our professional work and daily lives. Jan Czochralski invented a method for creating monocrystals of silicon, and this method became the foundation for creating integrated circuits. Let us remember that in our history, in the history of Poland and the Poles of the 20th century, there are giants of science whose knowledge, intellect, and greatness we benefit from to this day." Thank you for visiting Kcynia, President Nawrocki!

In 2018 a forward looking graphic adventure novel was commissioned by the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Region, the home area of JanCZ, and published by Agencja Reklamowa GALL sc. It is written by Maciej Jasinski and illustrated by Jacek Michalski. There were separate editions in English (1,000 copy print run) and in Polish (2,000 copies).  It is a wonderfully re-imagined extension of the JanCZ story and history through the eyes and minds of evolved robot aliens as they "discover" their own technological history inside of a futuristic Kcynia Poland in 2234. What a great way to make the story relevant for today's younger generations!  (Note: Requires a browser extension to download the full pdf file.)

We include this only because it is so random -- and so very cool!  Yes, there is an asteroid named for Czochralski!  In the Solar System Dynamics' "Small Body Database" of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology.
