The concept of ‘the Third Europe’ – or ‘the Intermarium Bloc’ – was certainly an interesting political project invented by the Polish Foreign Minister Józef Beck in the years 1937–8. It was bold and ambitious, but quite controversial, therefore it was merely mentioned in many works devoted to the foreign policy of the interwar Poland. There can be no doubt today that without a careful analysis of the assumptions of this concept, it is impossible to grasp the real meaning of the Polish ‘policy of balance’ between Nazi Germany and the Stalinist Soviet Union, as well as the way of thinking of the Polish leaders about international affairs towards the end of the 1930s. The idea of concentrating the smaller states of East-Central Europe around Poland was one of the most essential and independent politi- cal concepts of Beck, although, quite naturally, it referred to various similar ideas put forward by Polish political thought and in the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs from the dawn of Poland’s independence. Had this project any real basis in the political reality of the Europe of the 1930s? What was its essence? What were its concrete pros- pects? What aims did Józef Beck connect with it – who was regarded, not without reason, as a fi rm adherent of bilateralism in international relations and a critic of the concept of ‘bloc-building’ as a method of fi nding security? What were the possibilities of Polish diplomacy in the realities of the late 1930s? Was it a real political project, or maybe only a concept described by historians ex post? What determined its failure? The present study is devoted to refl ection upon these questions.

  • Ewa Pałasz-Rutkowska the Russo-Japanese War and Its Impact on Polish‑Japanese Relations in the First Half of the Twentieth Century
    Ewa Pałasz-Rutkowska The Russo-Japanese war and its impact on Polish‑Japanese relations in the first half of the twentieth century Analecta Nipponica 1, 11-43 2011 ARTICLES Ewa Pałasz-Rutkowska THE RUSSO-JAPANESE WAR AND ITS IMPACT ON THE POLISH-JAPANESE RELATIONS IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY1 The Russo-Japanese War and its effects undoubtedly influenced the internatio- nal situation and directly affected Poland as well as Polish-Japanese relations, in the short as well as the long run. In the short run – that is, during the war itself – various political forces in Poland (e.g. Polish Socialist Party, National League) sought to exploit it for their own ends (including the restoration of an indepen- dent Polish state), establishing direct contacts with representatives of the Japanese government. At the same time, Poles exhibited much greater interest in Japan as a country which, less than 40 years after it ended its isolation and began to mod- ernize, had the courage to launch a war against mighty imperial Russia, Poland’s primary enemy at the time. This interest was reflected in numerous (for the era) Polish publications about Japan, including indirect translations of Japanese litera- ture (Okakura Kakuzō 岡倉覚三, Nitobe Inazō 新渡戸稲造, Tokutomi Roka 徳富 蘆花, translations of works by Westerners who had visited Japan (Wilhelm Dep- ping, Henry Dumolard, Rudyard Kipling, Georges Weulerse) and works by Poles, including books and articles in the press.

Steinberg) ABSTRACT This thesis seeks to examine the factors that resulted in the fall of the Second Polish Republic and track its downward trajectory. Examining the Second Republic, from its creation in 1918 to its loss of recognition in 1945, reveals that its demise began long before German tanks violated Poland’s frontiers on 1 September, 1939. Commencing with the competing ideas of what a Polish state would be and continuing through the political and foreign policy developments of the inter-war years, a pattern begins to emerge - that of the Poles’ search for their place in modern Europe. The lead up to the Second World War and the invasion of Poland by the German-Soviet Alliance demonstrates the failure of the Poles to achieve that place.

    THE POLISH AMBASSADOR TADEUSZ ROMER – D A RESCUER OF REFUGEES IN TOKYO D EWA PAŁASZ-RUTKOWSKA ISSN 1392-0588 (spausdintas) ISSN 2335-8769 (internetinis) University of Warsaw, Poland http://dx.doi.org/10.7220/2335-8769.67.13 2017. 67 SUMMARY. The issue of the rescue of war refugees, especially Jews, including Polish Jews, during World War II, as well as the questions “Who saved who?” and “Why did they save each other?” are still very important and widely discussed. The above mentioned issues apply to the Polish Jews and Poles, saved from Nazi Germans and Soviet Russians, who managed to avoid death or exile in Siberia by escaping through Kaunas in Lithuania, as well as to the role of Japan in these events. Among the relatively well-known rescuers of Jews acting in Kaunas at the beginning of the war there were two consuls, Sugihara Chiune from Japan and Jan Zwartendijk from the Netherlands. The author of the present article focuses on a lesser known stage in those efforts to save the people from exile or death – on the role that Tadeusz Romer, as the Polish Ambassador to Japan (1937–1941), and later as the Ambassador in Shanghai on a special mis- sion (1941–1942), played in these efforts. KEYWORDS: Tadeusz Romer, Sugihara Chiune, Jan Zwartendijk, Polish-Japanese military intelligence cooperation, the Embassy of Poland in Tokyo, Polish Jews, “Visas for Life”, Kaunas, Tokyo, Shanghai. The issue of the rescue of war refugees, especially Jews, including Polish Jews, during World War II, as well as the questions “Who saved who?” and “Why did they save each other?” are still very important and widely discussed.

  • Szymon Askenazy As a Diplomat of the Reborn Poland (1920–1923)
    Studia z Dziejów Rosji i Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej ■ LII-SI(3) Marek Kornat Tadeusz Manteuffel Institute of History, Polish Academy of Sciences Szymon Askenazy as a diplomat of the Reborn Poland (1920–1923) Zarys treści: Studium jest próbą opracowania działalności dyplomatycznej Szymona Askenazego po odrodzeniu państwa polskiego, a zwłaszcza najmniej znanej karty, jaką była jego walka o kształt granic odrodzonej Rzeczypospolitej w Genewie 1921–1923. Był to jeden z najgorętszych okresów w historii dyplomacji polskiej. Askenazy reprezentował interesy odrodzonej Polski, będącej jego ojczyzną z wyboru. Jego działania nie spotkały się jednak z powszechną aprobatą głównych obozów polityki polskiej. Był też rzecznikiem koncepcji podwójnej świadomości Żydów: żydowskiej i polskiej. Jego zdaniem Żydzi zachować winni swoją religię i kulturę, ale zarazem “niechaj połączą to z poczuciem polskości i patriotyzmu polskiego”. Outline of content: The study is an attempt to describe the diplomatic activities of Szymon Askenazy after the revival of the Polish state, and especially their least known chapter, which was his struggle for the shape of the borders of the reborn Republic of Poland in Geneva, 1921–1923. It was one of the hottest periods in the history of Polish diplomacy. Askenazy represented the interests of the reborn Poland, his chosen homeland. However, his actions did not always receive general approval of the main camps of Polish politics. He was also a spokesperson for the concept of Jews’ double consciousness: Jewish and Polish. In his

    ZESZYTY NAUKOWE UNIWERSYTETU JAGIELLOŃSKIEGO Prace Historyczne 147, z. 3 (2020), s. 619–635 doi:10.4467/20844069PH.20.033.12487 www.ejournals.eu/Prace-Historyczne POLAND AND JAPAN – THE IMPACT OF THE COLD WAR ON BILATERAL RELATIONS Ewa Pałasz-Rutkowska http://orcid.org/0000-0002-5819-7032 University of Warsaw ABSTRACT Bilateral relations between Poland and Japan were generally friendly since the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905), throughout the entire interwar era, after the government of Japan recognized independent Poland after WWI (on 6 March 1919), and even during WWII. What was seen as important was a mutual support on the international arena during international conflicts (such as those in Upper Silesia, Manchuria, etc.) and especially military and espionage cooperation. How did the Cold War influence Polish-Japanese relations? Did the relations, which were until that time friendly, play a role in this period – a time of trouble for the entire world? The author tries to answer these questions, relying on selected and important events and issues from the period of the Cold War (until 1989). Keywords: Japan, Poland, mutual relations, foreign policy, diplomatic visits, Cold War, “Solidar- ity”, martial law. INTRODUCTION It is not surprising that geographical conditions, the consequent foreign policy and social moods influenced the relations between Poland and Japan the most throughout the entire history of these countries’ bilateral relations, both official and unofficial.1 Thus, one of the factors which has brought two such geographically distant countries closer is our mutual neighbor, Russia and its predecessor the USSR.

  • The Memory of Sugihara and the “Visas for Life” in Poland
    Studia z Dziejów Rosji i Europy Ś rodkowo-Wschodniej ■ LI-SI(1) Aleksandra Hądzelek University of Technology Sydney, Australia The memory of Sugihara and the “visas for life” in Poland Outline of content: Th e article examines the historical memory of the so-called“ visas for life’ issued in 1940 by the Japanese Consul in Kaunas, Sugihara Chiune, to Polish war refugees mainly of Jewish origin. He is memorialised in Japan, Lithuania and in the countries where the re- fugees ultimately settled, but not in Poland, where he remains almost unknown and has only few places dedicated to his memory. Th ese oft en focus more on Sugihara’s cooperation with the Polish intelligence and their contribution to the visas action rather than the humanitarian and heroic deed of Sugihara, its message of tolerance and equality, or on the fate of the refugees. Keywords: historical memory, sites of memory, Sugihara Chiune, “visas for life”, Tadeusz Romer, Polish war refugees, Polish Jews in WWII Introduction Today there exists a fairly widespread conviction that the past remembered in individual and collective memories, oft en referred to as historical awareness, is not only a component of contemporary social awareness, but also a very important factor in shaping local, regional, national, and state identities. In addition to that, historical awareness plays a vital role in the upbringing of the younger generation and in fostering their civic attitudes and pro-social behaviour. Th is close connec- tion between historical awareness, termed by sociologists as the social memory of the past, and the present day is becoming ever more important in those soci- eties which are currently going through a period of re-evaluating the image of their history.
