  • 1 KING of CHILDREN Betty Jean Liffton (Biography of Janusz Korczak)
    KING OF CHILDREN Betty Jean Liffton (Biography of Janusz Korczak) Who was Janusz Korczak? “The lives of great men are like legends-difficult but beautiful.” Janusz Korczak once wrote, and it was true of his. Yet most Americans have never heard of Korczak, Polish-Jewish children’s writer and educator who is as well known in Europe as Anne Frank. Like her, he died in the Holocaust and left behind a diary; unlike her, he had a chance to escape that fate-a chance he chose not to take. His legend began on August 6, 1942; during the early stages of the Nazi liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto-though his dedication to destitute children was legendary long before the war. When the Germans ordered his famous orphanage evacuated, Korczak was forced to gather together the two hundred children in his care. He led them with quiet dignity on that final march through the ghetto streets to the train that would take them to “resettlement in the East ” -the Nazi euphemism for the death camp Treblinka. He was to die as Henryk Goldszmit, the name he was born with, but it was by his pseudonym that he would be remembered. It was Janusz Korczak who introduced progressive orphanages designed as just communities into Poland, founded the first national children’s newspaper, trained teachers in what we now call moral education, and worked in juvenile courts defending children’s rights. His books How to Love a Child and The Child’s Right to Respect gave parents and teachers new insights into child psychology.

Yet such theories fail to explain the nature of and the reasons for this continuity in terms of gender relations in the public sphere.

  • Palestine and Poland; a Personal Perspective
    1 Nationalism in Comparison: Palestine and Poland; A Personal Perspective Gregory P. Rabb Professor of Political Science Jamestown Community College INTRODUCTION Defining and understanding nationalism in general can be difficult when done without referencing a particular nation or people. This paper is an attempt to understand nationalism in a comparative perspective as recommended by Benedict Anderson in his work entitled “Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism” (2016). Mr. Anderson also recommends understanding nationalism by focusing on the western hemisphere (or so called “new world”) rather than analyzing nationalism in the context of the so-called “old world” from a Euro-centric perspective. I am no Benedict Anderson, but I hope I met his recommendation by understanding nationalism from a personal perspective which I will explain shortly. NATIONALISM When introducing these concepts to my students I talk about the nation-state as the way in which we have organized the world since the Treaty of Westphalia-a Euro-centric perspective. The state is the government, however that is organized, and the nation is the people who are held together by any one or more of the following characteristics: common language, religion, history, ethnicity, and/or national identity including a commitment to a certain set of values (e.g. the emphasis on individual rights and the Constitution as our civil religion as seen in the US) and symbols (e.g. the monarchy and currency in the UK and the flag in the US). We then discuss the “stresses” from above, below, and beside (without) which may be heralding the end of the so-called nation-state era.

  • 'Brandt Falls to His Knees in the Ghetto' from the Frankfurter Allgemeine
    ‘Brandt falls to his knees in the ghetto’ from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (8 December 1970) Caption: On 8 December 1970, the day after the signing in Warsaw of the Treaty between the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) and Poland, the German daily newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung comments on Willy Brandt’s genuflection before the monument erected in memory of those who perished in the city’s Jewish ghetto.

He comes across as self-confident — a man with the inestimable advantage of a powerful physique that inspires confidence at an ordinary human level. It takes a great deal to throw him off balance. At monuments of this kind, which are usually referred to in books as memorials, he remains apparently frosty, unemotional and grudging. At 9.30 a.m. yesterday (Monday), he had laid a wreath of white carnations at the Tomb of the Unknown Solder in Warsaw with full military honours.

  • Using Polpex Philatelic Material To
    34 March-April 2019 8VLQJ3ROSH[3KLODWHOLF0DWHULDOWR([SDQG DQG(QULFK<RXU7RSLFDO$UHD Edwin J. Andrews and Robert V. Ogrodnik Topical collectors are always hunting for new and unusual items to supplement their collections, and topical exhibitors especially need a wide variety of philatelic elements to show the diversity and depth of their topic.1,2 Art Groten had a long- running column in Topi- cal Time highlighting the many cinderella, ephemera and paraphilatelic items that could be added to topi- cal collections and exhibits. Over the years many stamp shows have created and distributed souvenir cinder- ellas in the form of labels, stamp facsimiles, souvenir sheets (s/s), show cards and a variety of other items. Figure 1. Unbeknownst to most collectors is the treasure trove of philatelic material from old Polpex stamp shows. In January 1940 the Polonus [Polish] Philatelic Society held its first philatelic exhibition in Chicago, naming the event Polpex. This initial exhibi- tion exceeded expectations by attracting 36 exhibits with 215 frames, quite a feat for a stamp club that was organized and held its first meeting in February 1939. Except for 1952 and 1967, Polpex was held annually until 2004, when Polonus adopted the practice of convening an annual exhibition and meeting at an APS World Series of Philately Show. In 1940 Polonus members were eagerly looking forward to their initial exhibition, but Poland was at war. To show concern for Poland’s fate, in addition to highlighting the pleasure of collecting the stamps of Poland, Polonus decided to issue a s/s, one that not only commemorated the exhibition but that also portrayed characteristics of Poland’s people, culture and history (Figure 1).
