Warsaw, the capital, and Poland’s largest metropoli- tan area, has a population of 1.7 million people. The five other largest cities are: Łódź, Kraków, Wrocław, Poznań and Gdańsk. The establishment of a Polish state can be traced back to 966, when Mieszko I, ruler of a territory roughly co- extensive with that of present-day Poland, converted to Christianity. The Kingdom of Poland was founded in 1025. The name “Poland” originates from the tribe “Polanie” which means “people living in open fields”. 2 3 Westerplatte Quay Westerplatte Quay, where cruise ships moor, is a unique place, thanks to its location in the direct vicinity of the port’s entrance. This reduces to a minimum the time required for docking. In terms of tourism, arriving passengers can get to one of the most valuable historic buildings in Gdańsk – the Wisłoujście Fortress within 5 min- utes, and to the Memorial to the Westerplatte Defenders situated within 5 minutes walking distance from the quay. It was here that on 1 September 1939 World War II began, with the shelling of West- erplatte by the Nazi battleship Schleswig-Holstein. Cruise ships dock right at the foot of the monumental Memorial to the Westerplatte Defenders raised as a commemoration of those events. There is a pier near the quay where pleasure boats stop in the summer season, offering trips to the Old Town – the historic heart of Gdańsk. Preface Westerplatte Quay is well connected with the national and inter- national road system, ensuring easy and fast transport both to the centre of Gdańsk (15 minutes to the Old Town) and to other renowned tourist destinations, including Malbork and Warsaw. The Port of Gdańsk is Poland’s largest and oldest port, which for centuries, thanks to its flourishing sea trade, has been a driving force behind the economic and cultural growth of its city. Stemming from that foundation, Gdańsk grew in the 16th century to become the largest and the richest town in Poland, as well as the biggest port on the Baltic Sea. Nowadays, Gdańsk continues to be recognized as the maritime capital of Poland, attracting 3.5 million tourists from across the world each year. Its abundant historic monuments and beautiful town houses, charmingly stretching along the bank of the Motława River, recall the architecture of Amsterdam or the atmosphere of Venice. Not only history enthusiasts, but all those sensitive to beauty will find scenic spots here, filled with a unique atmosphere, and will appreciate the charm of Gdańsk’s old, picturesque streets, resounding with music played by buskers that come here from Port of Gdańsk — all over the world.

  • Istituto Tecnico Tecnologico Baracca Kaszubskie Liceum
    ONLINE EXCHANGE BRESCIA & BRUSY Istituto Tecnico Tecnologico Baracca Kaszubskie Liceum Ogólnokształcące w Brusach 2021 Elisa Lacagnina Thanks to the Etwinning platform I had the possibility to know Ms. Alicja Frymark, English teacher from Kashubian Secondary School (Kaszubskie Liceum Ogólnokształcące) in Brusy, Poland. Since our first online meeting on Skype, we have kept talking, most of all, of our school project called “Online exchange - Brescia & Brusy”. To start, we decided to assign our students a partner to make them work in pairs. Their task was to exchange emails with their friend about the topic given and then, with the information, to write a short article in English. We assigned different topics like Covid 19 and lockdown; traditional food; language uses; interesting facts about the city, the country and the region; school; local tradition. The first part of the project went really well and I was satisfied with the work done. My 5th-year students are enthusiastic about having a “virtual” foreign partner. I decided to start an online exchange because my students felt the need to improve their English speaking and writing skills, as we have only 3 hour English a week. According to me, these opportunities are not only useful to improve the language skills but also to expand your knowledge, to meet new people, to know about the uses and the customs of different countries. Moreover, it was the right moment to start a project of this kind precisely in this difficult period. We have been experiencing a different life, due to Covid 19 home–schooling, restrictions, curfews, prohibitions etc.

  • 1 Piotr Szubarczyk Institute of National Remembrance the WESTERN LANDS of the SECOND REPUBLIC of POLAND INCORPORATED INTO the TH
    Piotr Szubarczyk Institute of National Remembrance THE WESTERN LANDS OF THE SECOND REPUBLIC OF POLAND INCORPORATED INTO THE THIRD REICH Based on a secret protocol of the German-Soviet treaty of 23 August 1939, the territory of the Republic of Poland was divided between the Third Reich and the Soviet Union. According to that secret protocol, commonly known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the border between the two aggressors was supposed to run along the rivers Vistula, Narew and San. The German- Soviet Frontier Treaty of 28 September 1939, also known as the 2nd Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, constituted an amendment to the prior treaty. In return for handing Lithuania over to the Soviets, the Germans were given Lublin Province and part of Warsaw Province. While the Polish territories occupied by the Soviets (52% of the area of Poland) were targeted for immediate Russification and Sovietisation (some were also incorporated into the Ukrainian and Byelorussian SSRs as a result of “elections” as early as in the autumn of 1939), the German-occupied territory was diverse with regard to its legal status. Part of it was considered to be the “vestiges of Poland” and a source of cheap labour. There, Adolf Hitler established the General Government for the Occupied Polish Territories (GG). The Germans did not even attempt to Germanise the local population (Polish majority, large percentage of Jews, minimal representation of Germans), and the area was also where they “deported” Poles from the lands incorporated to the Third Reich. Half of the territory occupied by Germany (94,000 km2) was incorporated into the Deutsches Reich by decree of Adolf Hitler of 8 October 1939.

  • Archival Description in Polish Community Archives: Three Examples from a Multiple Case Study
    Education for Information 37 (2021) 121–145 121 DOI 10.3233/EFI-190361 IOS Press Archival description in Polish community archives: Three examples from a multiple case study Magdalena Wisniewska-Drewniak´ Faculty of History, Institute of History and Archival Science, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toru´n, Poland E-mail: [email protected] The article presents detailed description of methods of arrangement and description of archival materials in three community archives from Poland: the Foundation of General Elzbieta˙ Zawacka, the Association “History Tellers from the Lower City in Gdansk”,´ and the Civic Archive in Podkowa Lesna.´ Information presented in the article are part of a research project entitled “Community archives in Poland: multiple case study” (2016–2019). Research data was collected during field studies, using methods of semi-structured interviews, on-site direct observations, and desk research. The article also provides information about the context of operation of contemporary community archives in Poland, especially the phenomenon of professionalization of community archives and its impact on methods of their archival work. As a key finding, the study stresses the importance of knowing the community archive’s context in understanding its archival practices. Keywords: Community archives, independent archives, archival processing, archival description 1. Introduction The term “community archive” has been defined in the English-language scientific literature numerous times, not without problems (for example, Flinn, 2007; Flinn, 2011; Newman, 2011; Gilliland & Flinn, 2013; Caswell, 2014; Flinn, 2015; Welland, 2015; Vukliš & Gilliland, 2016; Sheffield, 2017). Recently, authors of two articles have attempted to summarize the current scholarship in the field of community archives, including their definitions.

    March April 2018 VOLUME 5 EDITION 2 LIFE WITH US At Niagara United Mennonite Church How can we be silent when we know our God is near, Bringing light to those in darkness, to the worthless, endless worth? How can we be silent when we are the voice of Christ, Speaking justice to the nations, breathing love to all the earth? How can we be silent when our God has conquered death, Stretching out his arms to sufer so that we might have new life? How can we be silent when we know that Jesus rose, And will come again in glory, ending sufering and strife? How can we be silent as we turn our eyes away And ignore the poor and broken who lie bleeding in the street? How can we be silent when we’re called to heal and serve In the image of Lord Jesus, who has stooped to wash our feet? How can we be silent, not give praise with all our hearts, For Christ Jesus is our Saviour and compassion is our king? How can we be silent when God gave us life to be Vibrant instruments of worship, made to laugh and dance and sing? How can we be silent when our souls are flled with awe At the beauty of creation and the mercy of our Lord? How can we be silent when we yearn to sing new songs? In our hearts a fre is burning and it will not be ignored! None can stop the Spirit burning now inside us. We will shape the future.

  • A Tribe After All? the Problem of Slovincians' Identity in An
    M. Filip. A Tribe after all? ... УДК 572; ББК 28.71; DOI https://doi.org/10.21638/spbu19.2018.208 M. Filip A TRIBE AFTER ALL? THE PROBLEM OF SLOVINCIANS’ IDENTITY IN AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL APPROACH 1 The identity of Slovincians is a subject of a wide range of controversies in the field of Disputatio / Дискуссия Slavic studies. The root of the conflict between supporters of the ethnic distinctiveness of Slovincians, and opponents who suggest Slovincians are a part of the Kashubian ethnic group (and thus an ethnographic group), is the past work of Aleksandr Hilferding2, a Russian linguist and ethnographer who was the first to describe this group’s history and culture. He claimed that Slovincians and Kashubians were the last Slavs on the southern shore of the Baltic Sea to oppose Germanisation since early medieval. Hilferding’s theses were the basis of the canonical history of Slovincians, in which this ethnic group had roots to a tribe of the same name. In the middle of the 19th century, Slovincians living between Lake Gardno and Lake Łebsko were indeed the westernmost group of Slavs living in Pomerania, or more precisely on the eastern frontier of western Pomerania (ger. Hinterpommern). They commonly switched to the German language and assimilated a German ethnic identity as late as the start of the 20th century. As a consequence, Slovincians who found themselves living in Poland after World War II were seen as Germans and were subjected to displacement by settlers and administrators of the region. The Polish intellectual elite, however, did not forget about the Slavic origin of the region’s inhabitants and demanded leaving them on the Polish soil and suggested their re-Slavisation, or de facto Polonisation.

  • The Amberif Fair, Gdańsk ‐ Development Prospects for the Export of Polish‐Made Baltic Amber Products
    Foreword The Board of the AMBERIF Fair appreciates that research is necessary for the jewellery industry, with amber as its main focus, to develop. This awareness has brought yet again a published volume as its concrete effect and this year it is a piece fitting for the Gdańsk event’s 20th anniversary. The AMBER. RESEARCH—COLLECTIONS—THE MARKET Symposium, the proceedings of which we now give you, enriches the knowledge about amber presented by the symposium contributors at very diverse lengths. These are both short abstracts and papers longer than can be presented during the symposium itself. 32 speakers and 22 contributors behind the poster submissions are not all. The co–authors almost double this number. Today, in view of the enormous methodological possibilities and equipment available only in some laboratories – for more complex subjects – it is important to gather a good research team. These are people of science, collectors or just simply amber lovers. Professor Dany Azar’s paper introduces us to the state of the art in the RESEARCH on fossil resins in the world. And then there is a large dose of knowledge about the Eocene deposits of amber (=succinite) around the Baltic Sea, in Ukraine and in Saxony–Anhalt. Plus deposits which are of the same age but of different type in Fushun, the much older deposits of Cretaceous fossil resin in Myanmar (Burma) and for the first time also from Lebanon’s Upper Jurassic sediments. From the perspective of the temporary shortage of raw amber on the market, we consider with interest the predominantly literature–based research on succinite redeposited in the Quaternary Age and the 19th century methods of its production.
