The two books need to be read side by side. My first book “God’s Leading in My Life” is an overview of my life, without too much detail or too many personal stories. It concentrated on high points only. The book’s purpose was to be my testimony as a witnessing tool to unbelievers, and an encouragement to believers. “My Spiritual Journey” is meant to fill those gaps, giving far more of my own personal reflections and details to the events that took place in my life. As such, I am going to follow similar chapters and high points in that story. I will try to avoid repetition, reiterating only that much, so as not to make the reader loose their orientation in where exactly they are in the story. This book is meant for my close family only. The former was written with a much larger audience in mind, as a testimony of my walk with the Lord. As my story unfolds, in these two books, it is my hope that my family will get to know me a little better and understand the passions that are part of my life. I hope that they get to know the rich historical background of my heritage, and the influences that shaped me into the person, I am today. I hope there are lessons to be learned and thoughts to ponder. I hope they will see God’s hands in the making of the tapestry of my life. I hope they will start seeing God’s hand in their own lives, learn from my experience, find courage and determination to stay on the right path. “My Spiritual Journey” tells a personal story of my life, its struggles and the consequences of my decisions. Through it, I will share lessons I have learned, and bits of wisdom I acquired along the way. In this book I will use four new types of inserts to share my thoughts with you 1. Family Background - to provide more information 2. Historical Background - to explain the origin of events 3. By the way - to share my personal thoughts with you 4. Spiritual Lesson - to reflect Let me illustrate this for you. 1. Family Background In my first book “God’s Leading in My Life” in Chapter 1 on page 8, I wrote “My grandfather did not exercise any authority in the house.” This statement begged for an answer. In the two years that my book has been in circulation, to my surprise, no one has asked for an explanation. Now I offer it. My grandfather had three vices, smoking, drinking and gambling. They caused him to loose the respect of his family. 2. Historical Background From ages past, the weakest communities were attacked by stronger communities, to plunder, loot, demand tribute and to take slaves for forced labor. As a defense strategy, the weakest communities made alliances with each other, amalgamated to become a larger nation, and built walls around their communities. Travelling throughout Europe you will be amazed how many castles there are, which only testifies to the level of unrest that the region experienced in the past. There really were no good or bad nations, as there are no good and bad people. Rather, people become who they are as a result of the choices they make. Nations are as their leaders are. 3. By the way Poland was no exception. On its western borders it had a stronger opponent in Germany - it was losing here. On the east border there were unorganized communities, and Poland made territorial gains. When Russia began its push westward, Poland suffered losses there too. The concept of a European Union at least offers a solution to this cycle of conquests. Now, the question is how far do we go with this concept. Continental unions make sense. We need a balance between powers, not just one power. One global union would lead to dictatorship like we have never heard of before, and there would be no way to get rid of it. Human nature as it is, will eventually come to such an end. The Bible has a lot to say about the end times. As you read my book you may come to believe that I am condemning Germany, Russia, Ukraine and other nations. Not so. Poland is not any better. What I am trying to say is that humanity in its totality is troubled. It is not my purpose to demonize any group of people. If anything it is a condemnation of us all. No nation, if you dig deeply enough, can claim total purity. All have committed hideous crimes in their past. The Allies dropped burning phosphorous on the German population in Dresden and bombed civilian targets. The U.S.A. dropped atomic bombs on two cities in Japan. Poland used terror in years past, and the list goes on and on. I am sure you could name many more examples yourself. To illustrate this truth, at the height of its power, Poland practiced its own form of crucifixion. Victims would be laid on the ground with their legs spread apart. A team of horses would be attached to each leg and would pull the victim onto a sharply pointed pole. The pole would than be stood upright with the victim raised on its top. In other chapters I will relate acts of cruelty, committed by both sides, which I have heard from my colleagues or witnessed myself. 4. Spiritual lesson From the Historical Background section one can see how much injustice and destruction exists among us. The question arises: why? The scriptures offer some insight. Galatians 5:19-21 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. Envy, jealousy, greed, lust, selfishness and pride fit into this category. They cause all that damage. It all starts within the heart. So let us resume the story. To follow the pattern of my first book - let us start with the historical background to my ancestry and upbringing. A word of caution Because of my poor memory I never was strong when it came to remembering facts. In all my studies I always tried to understand trends, principles and general implications. Facts I soon forgot, but the lessons of these events stay with me. The same goes for history. I went through World War II, I witnessed the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and took part in the Warsaw Uprising. I shared my memories with others and discussed at length the implications of these events. However I did not read books about them or know too many details about these events. Others are much more informed on the actual facts. There are books written to which you should be looking for facts (I listed some books in my possession). What you can find in my story is an eye-witness account and my personal understanding of what took place. All I know is that these courses of action are bad, morally bankrupt are to be avoided at all cost. They leave consequences that take years, sometimes centuries to correct. Study the history of any nation and you will find many examples to prove this point. Polish history is no different. It is a history of failures and missed opportunities. Failure to practice justice, righteousness, and love. In other words, to practice goodness, internally and externally, in the fear of God. The same goes for every nation I am aware of. As a result there are disastrous consequences, and Poland had its share of those. Throughout the history of civilization, so many countries have had the opportunity to establish a just society, where minorities feel acceptance and willingly remain in submission to greater authority. There was Egypt, Israel, Babylon, Assyria, Greece, Rome, England, Germany, U.S.A., Russia, they all had a go at it and they all failed. Smart, innovative people - instead of creating justice, peace, and stability, they ended up oppressing and exploiting others. As I mentioned in my first book, Poland was being squeezed from two sides. From the west and from the east. To the west, these territories (red), over centuries, were lost to Germany’s relentless drive eastward. Germany had a determined policy to drive out all Poles, and replace the total Polish population with Germans. Indeed some Germans lived there for centuries. None-theless you will still find many Polish names among Germans from these territories.

  • Building Cold War Warriors: Socialization of the Final Cold War Generation
    BUILDING COLD WAR WARRIORS: SOCIALIZATION OF THE FINAL COLD WAR GENERATION Steven Robert Bellavia A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor Karen B. Guzzo Graduate Faculty Representative Benjamin P. Greene Rebecca J. Mancuso © 2018 Steven Robert Bellavia All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor This dissertation examines the experiences of the final Cold War generation. I define this cohort as a subset of Generation X born between 1965 and 1971. The primary focus of this dissertation is to study the ways this cohort interacted with the three messages found embedded within the Cold War us vs. them binary. These messages included an emphasis on American exceptionalism, a manufactured and heightened fear of World War III, as well as the othering of the Soviet Union and its people. I begin the dissertation in the 1970s, - during the period of détente- where I examine the cohort’s experiences in elementary school. There they learned who was important within the American mythos and the rituals associated with being an American. This is followed by an examination of 1976’s bicentennial celebration, which focuses on not only the planning for the celebration but also specific events designed to fulfill the two prime directives of the celebration. As the 1980s came around not only did the Cold War change but also the cohort entered high school. Within this stage of this cohorts education, where I focus on the textbooks used by the cohort and the ways these textbooks reinforced notions of patriotism and being an American citizen.

  • Henryk Chałupczak POLAND's STRATEGY to NEUTRALIZE THE
    16 HENRYK CHAŁUPCZAK ESSAYS „Studies in Politics and Society” 9/2012 Henryk Chałupczak POLAND’S STRATEGY TO NEUTRALIZE THE GERMAN MINORITY’S PETITIONS AT THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS IN THE INTERWAR PERIOD 1. The Procedure The interwar system for protection of national minorities in Europe was based on commitments undertaken by several states that had fol- lowed from the so called small Treaty of Versailles, resolutions of the Council of the League of Nations that specified the conditions of its execution, and, as far as some states are concerned, conventions signed by those states. The principles to file petitions by the minorities in the states covered by the small Treaty of Versailles were laid down in the so called general procedure and an extraordinary procedure that – even though not included in the Treaty – followed from the Treaty’s inter- pretation. The first of those envisaged a few ways for the minorities to assert their rights, including putting in complaints – some types of the complaints required collaboration with a member of the League’s Council. Art. 12 of the Treaty was particularly important in this respect, according to which should a controversy arise over its interpretation, the controversial issue might be resolved by means of arbitrage (Kutrzeba 1925: 79–82). Regarding the extraordinary procedure, the resolution of the League’s Council of 22 October 1920 had been of fundamental im- portance, since it had granted actors who were not members of the Council – including the minorities – the right to inform the Council by means of petitions about infringements or threats to infringe upon the Treaty regulations.

  • INTRODUCTION Friederike Eigler
    INTRODUCTION Moving Forward: New Perspectives on German-Polish Relations in Contemporary Europe Friederike Eigler German, Georgetown University Since the end of the Cold War and the reconfiguration of the map of Europe, scholars across the disciplines have looked anew at the geopolitical and geocultural dimensions of East Central Europe. Although geographi- cally at the periphery of Eastern Europe, Germany and its changing dis- courses on the East have also become a subject of this reassessment in recent years. Within this larger context, this special issue explores the fraught history of German-Polish border regions with a special focus on contemporary literature and film.1 The contributions examine the represen- tation of border regions in recent Polish and German literature (Irene Sywenky, Claudia Winkler), filmic accounts of historical German and Polish legacies within contemporary European contexts (Randall Halle, Meghan O’Dea), and the role of collective memory in contemporary German-Polish relations (Karl Cordell). Bringing together scholars of Polish and German literature and film, as well as political science, some of the contributions also ponder the advantages of regional and transnational approaches to issues that used to be discussed primarily within national parameters. The German-Polish relationship has undergone dramatic changes over the past century. The shifting borders between between Germany (earlier Prussia) and Poland over the past 200-plus years are the most visible sign of what, until recently, was a highly fraught relationship. To review some of the most important cartographic shifts: • The multiple partitions of Poland between Russia, the Habsburg Monarchy, and Prussia in the late eighteenth century resulted in the disappearance of the Polish state for 120 years.

KZ-Dachau, established on March 22, 1933, near the town of Dachau in Bavaria in the years 1939-1945 was the main center for extermination of hundreds of thousands of people from all over Europe. Most of the victims were Poles and Polish priests. Today the Dachau concentration camp is not only a place of remembrance and meditation on the fate of the victims, but also an important base of historical and ethical education. The task of this place is never to forget. William W. Quinn, U.S. Army Officer, wrote in his report to from the liberation of the camp: "Dachau 1933-1945 will always remain one of the most notorious symbols in the history of barbarism. Our troops there faced so terrible views as to be beyond belief, cruelties so enormous as to be incomprehensible for a normal mind. Dachau and death are synonymous. " Celebrations began in the Carmelite Convent Church of Holy Blood with ecumenical holy service celebrated by Catholic , Protestant and Orthodox Church priests.
