Summary/Abstract: This article is a reflection on Stanislaw Pigoń’s memoirs: Z Komborni w świat. Wspomnienia młodości [From Kombornia into the world. Memoirs of youth]. This primary source is of a high pedagogical value. I analyze various threads of this memoir from an educational angle. The memoir allows to see how Pigoń’s values were built by his parents during his childhood and then further developed by him in his adult life in academia. I show the role of those values in creating his own character and personality. Pigoń’s memoir causes readers to rethink their own values, it inspires efforts at personal improvement, and it has a deep pedagogical message.
