In the year 2004 the Central Archives published the second edition of its guide to sources on Polish Jewry, in the original and in microfilm, which had been catalogued by the Central Archives until the end of 2000. While the first edition, published in 1988, presented the relatively poor pre-Glasnost scope of East-European archival documentation, the 2004 edition summarized the first decade of survey and research in archives of the former Soviet Union. The second edition represented extensive work in former Polish, Austrian and German government archives, situated in the former Soviet Union, relating to approximately 1000 cities, towns and villages and ranging from the 14 th to the 20 th centuries. The guide was published together with Avotaynu Foundation Inc., and has been acclaimed by researchers and genealogists alike. As mentioned above, the 2004 printed version describes material obtained by the Central Archives until the end 2000. Twelve years have passed since then. Millions of documents relating to Polish Jewry have been obtained by the Central Archives in various media since then, especially material relating to the Jews of Galicia and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. However, the most important change is not in the quantitative aspects. The new millennium has been accompanied by new methods of making data available to the public. We have thus decided to place a digital version of the Guide on the internet. We preferred to devote our limited personnel to mounting full fledged catalogue entries on the web, rather than investing much time in a full revision of the guide, which would become out dated the day after we published it. The basis of this version remains the 2004 printed edition, with two important additions. 1) Hundreds of new communities have been added; and 2) special reference was made to entries containing genealogical material. The Guide This guide is arranged geographically, beginning with material relating to the Jews of Poland as a whole, followed by regional entries and then by individual entries for each community, in alphabetical order. Each town name is accompanied by district (powiat) and province (województwo) to which it belongs. When a particular town is itself the seat of its district, only the province name is noted. The material consists of originals, xerox or photocopies, microfilms and digital copies. Virtually all of the originals are of Jewish provenance, while the photocopies, microfilms and scans are generally of non Jewish provenance. Some Jewish material was located and microfilmed in official repositories (such as the Centrum Judaicum in Berlin and state archives in Lwów, Kraków and Łód ź). The descriptions are arranged by record groups, in chronological order. The material within each record group is described in chronological order as well. The borders of Poland by which material is arranged in the Central Archives and in the guide are those which were in effect between the two World Wars. Thus prominent contemporary Polish cities such as Wrocław (Breslau), Szczecin (Stettin) and Gda ńsk 3 Sources on Polish Jewry at the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People (Danzig), which were not in Poland between the Wars, are absent from the guide, while Lwów and Wilno, today in the Ukraine and Lithuania respectively, do appear. Poland was partitioned three times (in 1772, 1792 and 1795) between Austria, Prussia and Russia, and disappeared as a political entity until after World War I. Material on Polish Jews can therefore be found in Austrian, German, Russian, Ukrainian and Belorussian as well as in Polish archives. Many documents are accordingly in Polish, German, Russian and Ukrainian. The names of the archives and of the cities in which they are located are cited as they are today. Lwów, for instance, is written Lviv and the archives in this city bear Ukrainian names. The names of the archival record groups, on the other hand, remain in their original languages. The names of the entries, however, are given in their Polish form. German equivalents of Polish names are provided in an appendix. The languages of the files are given in square brackets. Most of the files are entirely in Polish, in which case, no language is cited. The first, 1998 edition, was edited by (now Prof.) Adam Teller. The 2004 edition, on which the digital version is based, was compiled and edited by Hanna Volovici, Witold Medikowski, Hadassah Assouline and Benyamin Lukin, with the assistance of (now Prof.) Rachel Manekin and Olga Shraberman. Olga Shraberman has integrated the corrections and updates to this 2012 edition, which were edited by Benyamin Lukin. Acknowledgments We are grateful for the support received for this project from: • The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany • The Jewish Galicia and Bukovina Project • Hanadiv Foundation • The late Mr. Danek Gertner of Vienna • The Center for Research on the History and Culture of Polish Jews at the Hebrew University Finally, great thanks are due to the various archives and their staffs, which graciously and patiently enabled the conduct of the survey and microfilming activities, which made this guide possible. May this guide serve as a memorial to the Jews and communities which once flourished on Polish soil, and are no more.

    The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth As a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity*

    Chapter 8 The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity* Satoshi Koyama Introduction The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Rzeczpospolita) was one of the largest states in early modern Europe. In the second half of the sixteenth century, after the union of Lublin (1569), the Polish-Lithuanian state covered an area of 815,000 square kilometres. It attained its greatest extent (990,000 square kilometres) in the first half of the seventeenth century. On the European continent there were only two larger countries than Poland-Lithuania: the Grand Duchy of Moscow (c.5,400,000 square kilometres) and the European territories of the Ottoman Empire (840,000 square kilometres). Therefore the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the largest country in Latin-Christian Europe in the early modern period (Wyczański 1973: 17–8). In this paper I discuss the internal diversity of the Commonwealth in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and consider how such a huge territorial complex was politically organised and integrated. * This paper is a part of the results of the research which is grant-aided by the ‘Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research’ program of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in 2005–2007. - 137 - SATOSHI KOYAMA 1. The Internal Diversity of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Poland-Lithuania before the union of Lublin was a typical example of a composite monarchy in early modern Europe. ‘Composite state’ is the term used by H. G. Koenigsberger, who argued that most states in early modern Europe had been ‘composite states, including more than one country under the sovereignty of one ruler’ (Koenigsberger, 1978: 202).

    Economic Structure and Key Partnerships of Vilnius Jews from the Second Half of the 17Th Century to the End of the 18Th1

The article focuses on the economic partnerships and patronages formed by Jews in Vilnius. It also highlights the importance of the immediate hinterland for their business opportunities. The Jewish community in Vilnius, the biggest in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (GDL) since the 1700s, has not attracted similar historiographical attention2 for its eco- nomic history as some of the smaller communities in GDL.3 Out of the available works about the history of the Vilnius Jewish community, perhaps Israel Cohen4 provid- ed the most comprehensive analyses of its economic situation. He had access to some of the communal documents, which gave interesting insights into daily economic life, communal provisions, and competition with the Christian artisans (although it could be argued this was slightly exaggerated). The competitive nature of the community’s economic life was also the focus of extensive work done by Jurgita Verbickienė.5 How- ever, as she mostly relied on legal documents and litigations, her work emphasized both the normative and competitive side of the Jews’ economic life in Vilnius.

An Unobvious Answer Based on Corine Land Cover Analyses Urszula Myga-Pi ˛atek* , Anna Zemła-Siesicka˙ , Katarzyna Pukowiec-Kurda, Michał Sobala and Jerzy Nita Faculty of Natural Sciences, University of Silesia, 41200 Sosnowiec, Poland; [email protected] (A.Z.-S.);˙ [email protected] (K.P.-K.); [email protected] (M.S.); [email protected] (J.N.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-32-3689-361 Abstract: The recent increase in urban areas has stimulated landscape urbanization. One of the ways to study this process is an analysis based on the structure of land cover. The aim of this paper is to assess the intensity of the urban landscape on the basis of the CORINE in the seven largest metropolitan areas in Poland and in the Ruhr Metropolis in Germany. To this end, an urban landscape intensity indicator (ULII) was used based on Corine Land Cover at three levels of detail: the metropolitan area, municipalities and hexagons. There are similarities in landscape structure in areas with similar origin (industrial function) and spatial organization (mono- and polycentric agglomerations). The landscape of the Upper Silesia-Zagł˛ebieMetropolis differs from the landscape of other metropolitan areas in Poland and simultaneously shows similarities to the landscape of the Ruhr Metropolis. The results of the ULII also revealed a dependency: the dominance of rural and transitional landscapes in a majority of the study areas. Urban landscapes occur only in the central zones of the metropolitan areas.

For years, Galicia had been a part of Poland. Its scenery, woods and rivers had been our parents’ memories. A Jewish culture had developed in Galicia, the Yiddish language was created there, customs established, unique Jewish foods cooked, the figure of the “Yiddishe Mame” developed, inspiring a good deal of genealogical research; “Halakhot” and Rabbinic Laws made; an authoritative leadership established in the towns, organizing communities on their social institutions – Galicia gave birth to the “Shttetl” – the Jewish town, on all its social-historical and emotional implications.

Its cognitive goal is to recognise the present share of industry in the eco- nomic and functional base of those settlements that, as a result of the system transformation, underwent re- structuring and deindustrialisation, and the shrinking of its economic base. The re-development of this base and functions, appropriate to the role of towns and cities in the settlement system, requires new paths and indicating them is the application objective of the research. The work is based on the theory of the economic base of settlements, using statistical and cartographic methods including ‘heat maps’ as well as ‘employment surplus’ and the Amemiya indicator. Studies have shown that both economic and industrial potential are playsconcentrated a in the urban settlements of the Łódź agglomeration but decrease especially towards the south and south-east, and that traditional sectors still dominate. Despite intensive deindustrialisation, industry still significant role in the economic base and functions of most small and medium towns of the voivode- ship, as well as parts of some large urban settlements.

ARTICLES TRENDS OF COMPETITIVENESS IN THE AGRO-TRADE OF VISEGRAD COUNTRIES Vásáry Miklós Szent István University, Gödöllő, Hungary Summary: The accession to European Union (EU) in 2004 has resulted multiple kinds of agro-trade possibilities and dif- iculties for the Vsiegrad countries. The liquidation of customs and other trade barriers led immediately to an increased trade. The gradually growing trade intensity was much stronger in case of the old EU member states than in case of the neighbouring countries and occurred faster. The free low of goods on the common international market was set and enhan- ced, and enabled trade expansions following the integration. The objective of the paper the review of changes of trading processes within the examined country group following the Eastern enlargement. In addition, the key issue is to what products the comparative advantage principle could be applied, what products were able to realize competitive advantage in trade – in relation to Hungary. Key words: agro-trade of Visegrad countries, export structure, competitiveness, agro-trade balance, export-import ratio Introduction – general agro-trade effects The countries which integrated after the enlar- gement in 2004 (EU12) had very different conditions The agro-trade of Visegrad countries1 - in trade po- concerning the role of agriculture in national econo- licy aspect – was basically affected by two main events my: its level, volume of agricultural subsidies, produc- in the early 2000s.
