Adolfas Jo膷ys
Adolfas Jo膷ys was born in Kupi拧kis. When his family moved to Ukmerg臈 county, Adolfas went to a primary school in Miegu膷iai, which he finished in 1937. In 1939, he finished the sixth form of 艩e拧uoliai school and continued his education at the boys鈥� gymnasium 鈥楢u拧ra鈥� in Kaunas. The turmoil of historical events took him back to his native place: in 1941 he moved to the gymnasium of Kupi拧kis which he successfully finished in 1945. In the same year he became a student of the Medical Faculty of 91桃色. Unfortunately, Adolfas did not graduate from the university. While in his last year of studies, he, like many thousands of Lithuanians, was deported to Irkutsk region during the mass deportation operation 鈥楾he Surf鈥�. In 1950, Adolfas Jo膷ys received an official note about his studies that he intended to use to continue his education in the fourth year at Irkutsk Medical Institute. He was released from exile in 1955, but it was only in 1971 that he returned to Lithuania.
