Scope and Content Note Register of the Józef Frejlich 68023 2 Collection Jozef Frejlich, collector, historian, and economist was able to leave Warsaw in 1940 as a result of the efforts of his party colleagues, who were members of the government-in-exile in London. As an active and well-known member of the Polish Socialist Party (Polska Partia Socjalistyczna), he was smuggled through many borders to Portugal where, in 1942, he received a visa to the United States. Upon his arrival in New York the following year, he was hired by the Polish Consulate to oversee the government's financial operations. Later he was transferred to the German Department of the Polish Information Center, and remained there until its closing in 1945. His main assignment was to stay in touch with German and Jewish-Americans circles, which were of particular interest to the Polish diplomatic services. His own political views also brought him closer to the activities of the socialist groups, but he soon found himself in conflict with those who manifested their support for the Soviet Union. This collection reflects Frejlich's professional activities, as it contains mainly printed materials such as press clippings, which he analyzed as a press reviewer. However, he continued this work long after the closing of the government's operations. A large portion of those press clippings originated from the émigré newspapers published in the United States, a majority of which from the German press, which, to a large extent, reflected the opinions not of the German minority but of the German speaking Jewish immigrants. There are also some German language titles printed in Switzerland, a country with good insights into the political developments on the European continent. Frejlich's political association with the socialist movement both in Poland and in the United States is reflected in a large set of documents left for him in the last will of Wladyslaw Fischler, who was active in the Zwiazek Socjalistow Polskich w Stanach Zjednoczonych. They illustrate the liveliness of political life among Polish immigrant workers in the United States. The collection also includes Frejlich's articles written for numerous Polish-American journals, as well as rare documents, periodicals, and monographs supplementing other collections in the Hoover Archives on World War II, socialism, and Poles in the United States and Europe, particularly the records of the Ministerstwo Informacji i Dokumentacji and of the Polish Information Center. The papers were part of a larger shipment delivered to the Hoover Archives in 1969. Besides materials that originated in the Polish Information Center, the shipment contained several thousand books deposited at the Hoover Library. Because of Frejlich's interest in the history of socialism, he was offered the position of honorary curator of the Polish socialist collection; unfortunately, his advanced age didn't allow him to accept that offer.

  • The Phenomenon of Banished Soldiers in Polish Schools As an Example of the Politics of Memory
    Journal of Social Science Education Volume 18 Issue 1 Fall 2019 Article DOI 10.4119/jsse-921 The phenomenon of banished soldiers in Polish schools as an example of the politics of memory Ewa Bacia Technische Universität Berlin – The new core curriculum for teaching history in Polish schools is an example of the implementation of the politics of memory. – The primary purpose of teaching history at schools has become to stir up patriotic emotions. – This goal is to be reached by promoting distinguished Polish figures, presented as morally impeccable heroes. – Patriotism is linked to war, the image of which is simplified and trivialised. – The promotion of a black and white vision of history is a threat to Polish democracy. Purpose: The article intends to analyse the manner in which banished soldiers are presented in the new history curriculum at schools in Poland as an example of the politics of memory. Design/methodology/approach: The analysis is a case study of the phenomenon of banished soldiers in the Polish public discourse. It includes the following issues: the history of banished soldiers, the core history curriculum after the education reform in Poland, its objectives and goals (with particular emphasis on banished soldiers), the manner of presenting the banished soldiers in educational, public and social environments in Poland today, the impact of new historical politics on the Polish society and democracy. Findings: The manner of presenting the issue of banished soldiers in the core curriculum for teaching history in Polish schools exemplifies the efforts to introduce a new political paradigm into the educational context.

  • The Allied Powers; the Central What Did Citizens Think the U.S
    Connecting lives. Sharing cultures. Dear Educator, Welcome to The Volunteers: Americans Join World War I, 1914-1919 Curriculum! Please join us in celebrating the release of this unique and relevant curriculum about U.S. American volunteers in World War I and how volunteerism is a key component of global competence and active citizenship education today. These free, Common Core and UNESCO Global Learning-aligned secondary school lesson plans explore the motivations behind why people volunteer. They also examine character- istics of humanitarian organizations, and encourage young people to consider volunteering today. AFS Intercultural Programs created this curriculum in part to commemorate the 100 year history of AFS, founded in 1915 as a volunteer U.S. American ambulance corps serving alongside the French military during the period of U.S. neutrality. Today, AFS Intercultural Programs is a non-profit, intercultural learn- ing and student exchange organization dedicated to creating active global citizens in today’s world. The curriculum was created by AFS Intercultural Programs, together with a distinguished Curriculum Development Committee of historians, educators, and archivists. The lesson plans were developed in partnership with the National World War I Museum and Memorial and the curriculum specialists at Pri- mary Source, a non-profit resource center dedicated to advancing global education. We are honored to have received endorsement for the project from the United States World War I Centennial Commission. We would like to thank the AFS volunteers, staff, educators, and many others who have supported the development of this curriculum and whose daily work advances the AFS mission. We encourage sec- ondary school teachers around the world to adapt these lesson plans to fit their classroom needs- les- sons can be applied in many different national contexts.

  • CHAPTER 1 SPECIAL AGENTS, SPECIAL THREATS: Creating the Office of the Chief Special Agent, 1914-1933
    CHAPTER 1 SPECIAL AGENTS, SPECIAL THREATS: Creating the Office of the Chief Special Agent, 1914-1933 CHAPTER 1 8 SPECIAL AGENTS, SPECIAL THREATS Creating the Office of the Chief Special Agent, 1914-1933 World War I created a diplomatic security crisis for the United States. Under Secretary of State Joseph C. Grew afterwards would describe the era before the war as “diplomatic serenity – a fool’s paradise.” In retrospect, Grew’s observation indicates more the degree to which World War I altered how U.S. officials perceived diplomatic security than the actual state of pre-war security.1 During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Department had developed an effective set of security measures; however, those measures were developed during a long era of trans-Atlantic peace (there had been no major multi-national wars since Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo in 1814). Moreover, those measures were developed for a nation that was a regional power, not a world power exercising influence in multiple parts of the world. World War I fundamentally altered international politics, global economics, and diplomatic relations and thrust the United States onto the world stage as a key world power. Consequently, U.S. policymakers and diplomats developed a profound sense of insecurity regarding the content of U.S. Government information. The sharp contrast between the pre- and post-World War I eras led U.S. diplomats like Grew to cast the pre-war era in near-idyllic, carefree terms, when in fact the Department had developed several diplomatic security measures to counter acknowledged threats.

    PROCLAMATION 7026—SEPT. 19, 1997 111 STAT. 2981 Proclamation 7026 of September 19, 1997 National Farm Safety and Health Week, 1997 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation From the earliest days of our Nation, the men and women who work the land have held a special place in America's heart, history, and economy. Many of us are no more than a few generations removed from forebears whose determination and hard work on farms and fields helped to build our Nation and shape its values. While the portion of our population directly involved in agriculture has diminished over the years, those who live and work on America's farms and ranches continue to make extraordinary contributions to the quality of our na­ tional life and the strength of our economy. The life of a farmer or rancher has never been easy. The work is hard, physically challenging, and uniquely subject to the forces of nature; the chemicals and labor-saving machinery that have helped American farmers become so enormously productive have also brought with them new health hazards; and working with livestock can result in fre­ quent injury to agricultural workers and their families. Fortunately, there are measures we can take to reduce agriculture-relat­ ed injuries, illnesses, and deaths. Manufacturers continue to improve the safety features of farming equipment; protective clothing and safety gear can reduce the exposure of workers to the health threats posed by chemicals, noise, dust, and sun; training in first-aid procedures and ac­ cess to good health care can often mean the difference between life and death.
