At first it had neither a definite organizational structure nor a name. It was referred to as the Office (urzad) or Bureau of Information and Documentation. By April 1940, the unit was named Center of Information and Documentation, and in September 1940 the Center was reorganized into the Ministry of Information and Documentation, a designation it carried for the remainder of the war and in the years that followed. During the early months of its existence the office, comprised of information and documentation sections, was headed by Deputy Prime Minister Stanislaw Stronski, who was directly in charge of its documentation section. The information section was headed by Minister Marian Seyda. Stanislaw Stronski was in charge of the Ministry of Information and Documentation until March 1943, when his position was taken over by Stanislaw Kot, who headed the Ministry in the cabinet of Stanislaw Mikolajczyk, until the resignation of that government in November 1944. Kot's successor was Adam Pragier, who was Minister of Information and Documentation until 1949. The Ministry of Information and Documentation was the main information and propaganda unit of the Polish government in exile. It coordinated and facilitated the dissemination of information in support of the Polish war effort through its publishing and radio programs. The Ministry also documented and analyzed the conditions and developments in occupied Poland. One of its units, for example, the Research Section headed by Wiktor Sukiennicki, was assigned the task of systematically reviewing and summarizing the testimonies of former Polish prisoners and deportees to Soviet Russia, with a view to document the entry of the Red Army into Poland, the first weeks of Soviet occupation, the October 1939 "elections", and the consequent sovietization of the occupied territories. Thousands of original Soviet camp release certificates, statements of survivors, and detailed summaries of Soviet occupation compiled by the Research Section for every county of Eastern Poland, make up about forty percent of the volume of the Ministry's collection. Most of the archives of the Ministry of Information and Documentation, together with those of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, were moved from London to Dublin at the end of the war, and remained in storage for more than a decade. In 1959, in keeping with the agreement reached between the Hoover Institution and Aleksander Zawisza, Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Polish government in exile, the archives were shipped to their new home at Stanford. The collection of the Ministry of Information and Documentation in the Hoover Institution Archives occupies about 31 linear meters. A smaller portion of the Ministry's archives, 3.6 linear meters, is preserved in the Polish Institute and Sikorski Museum in London. Two Hoover collections in large measure complement the archives of the Ministry of Information. One of these is the Wladyslaw Anders Collection, consisting mostly of over 18,000 statements and reports of former Polish prisoners and deportees to Soviet Russia. The other collection is that of the Polish Government Information Center (Polskie Rzadowe Centrum Informacyjne), the New York agency of the Ministry of Information and Documentation. Preliminary processing of the collection was provided in the 1980s by the late Helena Sworakowska. Detailed processing and preservation microfilming were made possible by a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities in 1997 and by matching funds from the Taube Family Foundation.

  • Habermann Family Story
    Habermann Family Story Submitted by Ruth Habermann, Givatayim and Eyal Habermann, Shoham The Habermann family were watchmakers for generations and had three jewelry stores - in Drohobycz, Boryslaw and Truskawiec. The Habermanns were one of the well-to-do the families in town. The Germans occupied Drohobycz in the middle of September 1939. Some Ukrainians informed the Germans on the whereabouts of Jonah Habermann. The house was raided by the Germans who did much property damage, but Jonah was in hiding and was not found. Two years later, following the signing of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, the Soviets occupied Drohobycz. All private property was immediately nationalized under Article 11 (prohibition to hold private property). Wealthy families could no longer live in big cities. Judith and Jonah Habermann were forced to live outside of Drohobycz and moved to Truskawiec. Alex Habermann, who was 12 years old, stayed with his maternal grandparents Joseph and Ethel Hershmann in Drohobycz. Alex remembered a Jew who fled from Kraków saying: "When will the Germans came to free us from these Bolsheviks". The Habermann family received a deportation order for Siberia for June 27th, 1941. They were preparing for the journey by hiding assets and packing belongings. On June 22nd, 1941, 5 days before the planned deportation, the Germans breaking the non-aggression pact, invaded the area that was under Russian rule. Judith and Jonah Habermann returned to Drohobycz. After about a week the Germans entered Drohobycz. Following the German invasion, a pogrom carried out by the Ukrainians took place. 900 Jews were murdered. The pogrom was followed by humiliations and degrading jobs such as cleaning the streets, as well as looting and killing by the Ukrainians for 6 months.

    Acta Archaeologica Lodziensia nr 65 Jarosław Bodzek, Szymon Jellonek, Barbara Zając https://doi.org/10.26485/AAL/2019/65/5 ROMAN PROVINCIAL COINS FOUND IN LESSER POLAND: AN OVERVIEW1 ABSTRACT The aim of the present article is to summarize a current state of research on the problem of in- flow of Roman provincial coins into Lesser Poland in antiquity. The term “provincial coinage” as used here refers to coins from the mints producing coinages for the purpose of provincial circulation, as well as to the so-called pseudo-autonomous and autonomous coinages struck by various local mints. We consider coins produced in mints located in the Eastern part of the Roman Empire, beginning from Dacia and Moesia, and farther east and south to the provinces of Asia Minor, Syria, and Egypt as well as these struck by the rulers of the Bosporan Kingdom. The chronological scope of this presentation is defined by the final decades of the Roman Republic/the beginning of the Roman Empire and the Diocletian’s reform (AD 294). We shall concentrate on the relevant finds of bronze coinage and the so-called billon coins. Only one brief paragraph is devoted to silver issues. Keywords: Barbaricum, Bosporan Kingdom, coins, Lesser Poland, Roman provincial coinage ABSTRAKT Celem niniejszego artykułu jest podsumowanie aktualnego stanu badań na temat napływu monet prowincjonalnych zarejestrowanych na obszarze historycznej Małopolski. Pod pojęciem „mennictwa prowincjo- nalnego” rozumiane są tutaj zarówno monety prowincjonalne bite w mennicach produkujących monety na użytek danej prowincji, jak i tzw. monety pseudoautonomiczne i autonomiczne bite w mennicach lokalnych. W niniej- szym tekście uwzględnione zostały monety produkowane w mennicach zlokalizowanych we wschodniej części Cesarstwa Rzymskiego poczynając od Dacji i Mezji, i położonych dalej na Wschód i Południe aż po prowincje w Azji Mniejszej, Syrię i Egipt, jak również monety bite przez władców Królestwa Bosporańskiego.

  • Movement Or Stabilization? the Upper San River Basin in the Second Half of the 1St Millennium BC
    ACTA ARCHAEOLOGICA CARPATHICA VOL. LIV (2019): 25–56 PL ISSN 0001-5229 DOI 10.4467/00015229AAC.19.003.11880 TOMASZ BOCHNAK Movement or stabilization? The Upper San River basin in the second half of the 1st millennium BC Abstract: The ‘Celtic episode’ of the prehistoric Sanok region should be associated with a group of colonists from the south who, during phase LT C, used the local brine springs to produce salt and supply it to the population of the Upper Tisa River basin. For now, no finds definitely associated with phases LT B or LT D have been discovered in the region. The settlers probably relied on both agriculture and animal husbandry to sustain their communities. It seems unlikely they were able to produce any food surpluses, considering the unfavourable climate and poor soil conditions. When the expansion of Dacian tribes to the south of the Carpathians began to cause shifts in the political landscape and the trade routes’ network, the San River Valley cultural centre lost its economic significance and entered a period of decline. Presumably, some of the population may have migrated north into the more fertile lands, while others might have returned to the areas of their origin. According to the available data, there seems to be no clear continuity between the La Tène occupation and the oldest Przeworsk culture finds dated to the end of the early pre-Roman period. Keywords: La Tène culture, celtic culture, middle La Tène, San basin, brine springs I. INTRODUCTION During the Iron Age, the drainage basin of the river San became the arena of important cultural change.

  • Treblinka Camp, Located in Eastern Poland, Between the Summers of 1942 and 1943
    CCarloarlo MMattogno,attogno, JJürgenürgen GGrafraf Holocaust survivors report that at least 700,000, if not as many as three million people primarily of Jewish faith were murdered in the Treblinka camp, located in eastern Poland, between the summers of 1942 and 1943. Various murder weapons are claimed to have been used: mobile or stationary gas chambers; poison gas with delayed or immediate effect; unslaked lime; hot steam; high voltage; machine guns; vacuum chambers; chlorine Camp? Transit or gas; Zyklon B; diesel exhaust gas. According to the witnesses, Extermination Camp TTreblinkareblinka the corpses of the victims were fi nally incinerated on pyres as high as a multi-story building without leaving any traces. • EExterminationxtermination CampCamp In the fi rst part of this book, the offi cial image portrait of Treblinka is subjected to a thorough critique regarding its oorr TTransitransit CCamp?amp? historical genesis, inner logic, and technical feasibility. The result of this analysis is essentially that the historical picture, which is prescribed by penal law in many European countries, is untenable, because it is nothing more than an uninterrupted chain of absurdities. In the second part of this book, the authors attempt to deter- mine the real function of the Treblinka camp with the help of witness statements, documents, and forensic fi ndings. Through their analysis, they conclude that Treblinka was a transit camp, through which Jews from Warsaw and other areas were led on their way either to occupied Soviet territories in the east or to Treblinka the Majdanek camp and other labor camps in the area south of Treblinka.
