At the request of his parents he first studied Economics. He continued his studies at the Faculty of Science of the Charles University and graduated in 1928 with a doctorate. He became a zoologist, museum curator, explorer and writer. He served as director of the zoological department at the National Museum in Prague and became well known in his field for his 1933 book <i>Through the African Wilderness<\/i> and his 1935 zoological expedition in the Australian outback. In Australia, he teamed with Walter Drowley Filmer due to his local expertise with spiders.<sup id=\"cite_ref-2\" class=\"reference\"><\/sup><br \/>\nVery soon he became involved in the resistance group RU-DA and PVVZ, where Baum&#8217;s sister Anna Pollertov\u00e1 also worked. They copied leaflets on a typewriter, hid persecuted people in their own and other apartments, and J. Baum did various photographic work for the illegal group. When their resistance group was broken up, no one denounced J. Baum. Nevertheless, he was arrested a little later in 1943 and made his way through the penal prisons on Charles Square and Terezin&#8217;s Small Fortress to Auschwitz and the concentration camp in Warsaw, where he probably died in early 1944.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/cs.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ji%C5%99%C3%AD_Baum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/cs.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ji%C5%99%C3%AD_Baum<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Address: P\u0159emyslovsk\u00e1 1939\/28, Praha 3 Ji\u0159\u00ed Baum was born on 20 September 1900 in Prague.
