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.

Poland reborn at Versailles, but only comprising 3/5ths the size of pre-partition Poland. 1945 — End of WWII. Polish borders shift west: loses territory to U.S.S.R., gains former German areas.

    LIBERATING a CONTINENT Study Guide V Introduction V

    LIBERATING A CONTINENT Study Guide v Introduction v Imagine this: You are given two maps of Europe — one made in 1695, the other in 1795. Someone asks you to point out the location of Poland. You easily find it on the first map, yet when looking at the second, you are stumped. You know where it should be, but in its place you find only the bordering nations of Russia, Prussia and Austria. Poland had disappeared. Between 1795 and 1920, independent Poland was essentially nonexistent. Polish uprisings against the ruling powers were again and again defeated, leading to persecution, harsh living conditions and strict controls. The Polish language was forbidden for public communication, and education about Polish history and culture was severely restricted. By the end of World War I, however, the Poles saw decisive victories, with war treaties partially restoring their land. And two years later, during the Battle of Warsaw, the outnumbered Polish forces pushed back the Red Army. This Polish victory, which became known as the Miracle on the Vistula, was astounding, essentially preventing Soviet expansion into Western Europe. It was in 1920, during these years of independence, that Karol Wojtyła was born in Wadowice. Unfortunately, this period of independence was short-lived — within two decades, the Nazis invaded Poland, beginning a regime of unimaginable horror. An invasion of Soviet Union forces followed only weeks later. Forcing many Poles to serve in their labor camps, the Soviets killed hundreds of thousands and secretly executed approximately 22,000 Polish officers during the Katyn Forest massacre. The war left Poland crippled.
  • Contours and Consequences of the Lexical Divide in Ukrainian

    Contours and Consequences of the Lexical Divide in Ukrainian

    Geoffrey Hull and Halyna Koscharsky1 Contours and Consequences of the Lexical Divide in Ukrainian When compared with its two large neighbours, Russian and Polish, the Ukrainian language presents a picture of striking internal variation. Not only are Ukrainian dialects more mutually divergent than those of Polish or of territorially more widespread Russian,2 but on the literary level the language has long been characterized by the existence of two variants of the standard which have never been perfectly harmonized, in spite of the efforts of nationalist writers for a century and a half. While Ukraine’s modern standard language is based on the eastern dialect of the Kyiv-Poltava-Kharkiv triangle, the literary Ukrainian cultivated by most of the diaspora communities continues to follow to a greater or lesser degree the norms of the Lviv koiné in 1 The authors would like to thank Dr Lance Eccles of Macquarie University for technical assistance in producing this paper. 2 De Bray (1969: 30-35) identifies three main groups of Russian dialects, but the differences are the result of internal evolutionary divergence rather than of external influences. The popular perception is that Russian has minimal dialectal variation compared with other major European languages. Maximilian Fourman (1943: viii), for instance, told students of Russian that the language ‘is amazingly uniform; the same language is spoken over the vast extent of the globe where the flag of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics flies; and you will be understood whether you are speaking to a peasant or a university professor. There are no dialects to bother you, although, of course, there are parts of the Soviet Union where Russian may be spoken rather differently, as, for instance, English is spoken differently by a Londoner, a Scot, a Welshman, an Irishman, or natives of Yorkshire or Cornwall.
