Shortly thereafter, the late Helena Sworakowska prepared a preliminary inventory, which remained in use for nearly two decades. Detailed processing and preservation microfilming have now been made possible by a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and by matching funds from the Taube Family Foundation. In addition, the grant provides depositing a microfilm copy of these materials in the State Archives of Poland in Warsaw. The papers cover mostly the second part of Mikolajczyk's life, beginning in 1939 when, as a soldier, he made his way to France to join the Polish government-in-exile (which later established itself in London). He served successively as vice-president of the Polish parliament, president of the Polish National Council, minister of the interior, deputy prime minister, and prime minister after the death of Wladyslaw Sikorski in 1943. (As a close associate of the general throughout those years and his successor, Mikolajczyk's archives contain part of Sikorski's working files.) The government service series covers Mikolajczyk's activities in those capacities, as well as his interactions with other offices of the Polish government-in-exile. Particularly significant are the papers relating to his tenure as prime minister, as they reflect a dramatic period of Poland's wartime history; that is especially evident in light of numerous intelligence reports. While the London years are well documented, the period from 1945 to 1947, during which Mikolajczyk served in the provisional governement in Warsaw, is not. Indeed, when he left Poland in October of 1947, forced once again into exile, Mikolajczyk took with him only a small dossier of materials on political persecussions. Complementing the secret police records surviving in Poland, this part of the collection (found in the Polskie Stronnictwo Ludowe series) fills important gaps in the country's history after 1945. After 1948, like many other of the Central and East European exiles, Mikolajczyk was very active in unifying émigré circles from Poland as well as from other East European countries. He remained a prominent émigré figure until his death in 1966, and was the leading personality, representing the entire region, in the stuggle against Soviet plans to communize Eastern and Central Europe. His closeness to political circles in Washington allowed him to form the first East European lobby and to put the issue of Soviet occupation on the political agenda of consecutive United States administrations. Mikolajczyk founded and/or presided over many organizations such as the Assembly of Captive European Nations, the International Peasant Union, the Polish Peasant Party in exile, and the Polish National Democratic Committee. He was also very active on behalf of Radio Free Europe. All those efforts are widely represented in the collection, with each of the major organizations he was involved in constituting a separate series. An avid collector of documents, Mikolajczyk was very aware of their significance for history. He also amassed clippings from numerous sources, now gathered into a printed matter series. Finally, researchers will find an extensive audio-visual series containing a very large number of photographs and of audio tapes.

  • 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.

  • They Fought for Independent Poland
    2019 Special edition PISMO CODZIENNE Independence Day, November 11, 2019 FREE AGAIN! THEY FOUGHT FOR INDEPENDENT POLAND Dear Readers, The day of November 11 – the National Independence Day – is not accidentally associated with the Polish military uni- form, its symbolism and traditions. Polish soldiers on almost all World War I fronts “threw on the pyre their lives’ fate.” When the Polish occupiers were drown- ing in disasters and revolutions, white- and-red flags were fluttering on Polish streets to mark Poland’s independence. The Republic of Poland was back on the map of Europe, although this was only the beginning of the battle for its bor- ders. Józef Piłsudski in his first order to the united Polish Army shared his feeling of joy with his soldiers: “I’m taking com- mand of you, Soldiers, at the time when the heart of every Pole is beating stron- O God! Thou who from on high ger and faster, when the children of our land have seen the sun of freedom in all its Hurls thine arrows at the defenders of the nation, glory.” He never promised them any bat- We beseech Thee, through this heap of bones! tle laurels or well-merited rest, though. On the contrary – he appealed to them Let the sun shine on us, at least in death! for even greater effort in their service May the daylight shine forth from heaven’s bright portals! for Poland. And they never let him down Let us be seen - as we die! when in 1920 Poland had to defend not only its own sovereignty, but also entire Europe against flooding bolshevism.

  • LETTER to G20, IMF, WORLD BANK, REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS and NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS
    LETTER TO G20, IMF, WORLD BANK, REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS and NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS We write to call for urgent action to address the global education emergency triggered by Covid-19. With over 1 billion children still out of school because of the lockdown, there is now a real and present danger that the public health crisis will create a COVID generation who lose out on schooling and whose opportunities are permanently damaged. While the more fortunate have had access to alternatives, the world’s poorest children have been locked out of learning, denied internet access, and with the loss of free school meals - once a lifeline for 300 million boys and girls – hunger has grown. An immediate concern, as we bring the lockdown to an end, is the fate of an estimated 30 million children who according to UNESCO may never return to school. For these, the world’s least advantaged children, education is often the only escape from poverty - a route that is in danger of closing. Many of these children are adolescent girls for whom being in school is the best defence against forced marriage and the best hope for a life of expanded opportunity. Many more are young children who risk being forced into exploitative and dangerous labour. And because education is linked to progress in virtually every area of human development – from child survival to maternal health, gender equality, job creation and inclusive economic growth – the education emergency will undermine the prospects for achieving all our 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and potentially set back progress on gender equity by years.

  • The Infirmity of Social Democracy in Postcommunist Poland a Cultural History of the Socialist Discourse, 1970-1991
    The Infirmity of Social Democracy in Postcommunist Poland A cultural history of the socialist discourse, 1970-1991 by Jan Kubik Assistant Professor of Political Science, Rutgers University American Society of Learned Societies Fellow, 1990-91 Program on Central and Eastem Europe Working Paper Series #20 January 1992 2 The relative weakness of social democracy in postcommunist Eastern Europe and the poor showing of social democratic parties in the 1990-91 Polish and Hungarian elections are intriguing phenom­ ena. In countries where economic reforms have resulted in increasing poverty, job loss, and nagging insecurity, it could be expected that social democrats would have a considerable follOwing. Also, the presence of relatively large working class populations and a tradition of left-inclined intellec­ tual opposition movements would suggest that the social democratic option should be popular. Yet, in the March-April 1990 Hungarian parliamentary elections, "the political forces ready to use the 'socialist' or the 'social democratic' label in the elections received less than 16 percent of the popular vote, although the class-analytic approach predicted that at least 20-30 percent of the working population ... could have voted for them" (Szelenyi and Szelenyi 1992:120). Simi­ larly, in the October 1991 Polish parliamentary elections, the Democratic Left Alliance (an elec­ toral coalition of reformed communists) received almost 12% of the vote. Social democratic parties (explicitly using this label) that emerged from Solidarity won less than 3% of the popular vote. The Szelenyis concluded in their study of social democracy in postcommunist Hungary that, "the major opposition parties all posited themselves on the political Right (in the Western sense of the term), but public opinion was overwhelmingly in favor of social democratic measures" (1992:125).

    Title: Common Interests and the Most Important Areas of Political Cooperation between Poland and Romania in the Context of the European Union Author: Justyna Łapaj-Kucharska Citation style: Łapaj-Kucharska Justyna. (2019). Common Interests and the Most Important Areas of Political Cooperation between Poland and Romania in the Context of the European Union. "Romanian Journal of European Affairs" (2019, vol. 19, no. 2, p. 63-86). ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF EUROPEAN AFFAIRS Vol. 19, No. 2, December 2019 Common Interests and the Most Important Areas of Political Cooperation between Poland and Romania in the Context of the European Union Justyna Łapaj-Kucharska1 Abstract: The article addresses several issues that constitute the main areas of Polish-Romanian relations in the 21st century in the political dimension and in the broad sense of security. Relations between Poland and Romania have been characterized in the context of the membership of both countries in the European Union. Particular emphasis was placed on the period of the Romanian Presidency of the Council of EU, which lasted from January to the end of June 2019. The article indicates the most important common interests of both countries, the ways for their implementation, as well as potential opportunities for the development of bilateral and multilateral cooperation.

  • Polish Mathematicians and Mathematics in World War I. Part I: Galicia (Austro-Hungarian Empire)
    Science in Poland Stanisław Domoradzki ORCID 0000-0002-6511-0812 Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Rzeszów (Rzeszów, Poland) [email protected] Małgorzata Stawiska ORCID 0000-0001-5704-7270 Mathematical Reviews (Ann Arbor, USA) [email protected] Polish mathematicians and mathematics in World War I. Part I: Galicia (Austro-Hungarian Empire) Abstract In this article we present diverse experiences of Polish math- ematicians (in a broad sense) who during World War I fought for freedom of their homeland or conducted their research and teaching in difficult wartime circumstances. We discuss not only individual fates, but also organizational efforts of many kinds (teaching at the academic level outside traditional institutions, Polish scientific societies, publishing activities) in order to illus- trate the formation of modern Polish mathematical community.
