It doesn’t seem to be true of stuff I really liked; once over, good stuff is gone forever. But if, for example, there’s a commercial I really, really despise, and one day I think, “Oh, good, I haven’t seen that for a while, they must have taken it off the air” – rest assured, it will be playing on my TV any moment. It hadn’t occurred to me until recently that companies selling fake coats of arms had pretty much disappeared. Back in the 1980s, when I first got interested in genealogy, I noticed ads for these companies in many of the publications I looked at. It got worse once we all started getting online in the 90s, as these companies realized they had a new forum in which to push their wares. That was about the time I started getting notes from people asking, “Can you tell me about my family’s coat of arms?” (Short answer: “No.” Long answer: “Hell, no.”) I remember being amused when I got emails offering to sell me all sorts of merchandise emblazoned with my noble Hoffman coat of arms. By then, I knew my family was about as noble as your average warthog. It became clear to me – and to most folks, I think – that at most, all these companies did was to look to see if anyone, anywhere bearing a specific name had ever appeared in some heraldic context. If they didn’t simply make something up and actually checked records, they made no attempt whatsoever to be sure your ancestors were noble and entitled to bear a coat of arms. If your name was Nowak and a Nowak or Novak had ever been mentioned anywhere in an armorial, congratulations, Sir Nowak! You can read a little more about these so-called “bucket shops” here: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heraldic_fraud>. This whole thing irritated me because I often assisted a gentleman with translations: the late Leonard J. Suligowski, a self-made expert on Polish nobility and heraldry. Leonard really cared about this field; he insisted there were rules to this game and people should observe them. He told me “coat of arms” was not a very good translation of Polish herb, because Polish nobility differed from western European nobility in many significant ways. He felt “clan shield” was more accurate, better reflecting the actual nature of Polishherby and avoiding the confusion that came from calling them “coats of arms.” I remember Leonard also despised the term “family crest,” insisting a crest was only one part of a coat of arms and it was inaccurate to use the part for the whole in this context. Sadly, Leonard passed on 19 June 2008. The organization for which he served as the director of Heraldry and the College of Heraldry, the Polish Nobility Association Foundation of Baltimore, MD, carries on, with its website at <http://pnaf.us/>. I’m sure he would want me to mention the PNAF, as he felt it made a real effort to maintain the legitimacy of Polish heraldry and nobility. Gen Dobry!, Vol. XXII, No. 5, May 2021 — 2 As time passed, I saw more and more people calling those heraldry companies out for the fakes they were. The bucket shops kind of dropped out of sight, and I never realized how much I didn’t miss them. I figured they were still around somewhere, but they weren’t always in my face, and that was enough for me. Then, last month, I was asked to include a notice for the June 19 meeting of the Polish American Foundation of Connecticut, which will feature Tadeusz Piłat speaking on “The Story behind the Family Crest.” I’ve heard a lot of good things about Tadeusz (I think his friends call him Teddy). I was glad to see he will be giving good info to those interested in the field. I don’t fault him for using the term “family crest”; it’s a common term, and I doubt Tadeusz ever had a chance to talk to Leonard about it. I also noticed an email sent out earlier this month by Aleksandra Kacprzak, like Tadeusz, a native Pole who works in the field of genealogy. I’m very pleased to inform that there is a new shelf in my genealogy store: Coat of Arms and genealogy tree made by artist Tadeusz Piłat. Works are made by individual special order. You can also order a design of an individual “family sign”: <https://genoroots.com/genogaleria/en/59-coat-of-arms> For those that speak only English we have books that may be of your interest: <https://genoroots.com/genogaleria/en/83-polish-english> For those that like genealogy gadgets we have a special shelf: “Handmade” – the wooden candle holders are just beautiful and coffee with tree designed coasters just taste better! <https://genoroots.com/genogaleria/en/57-hand-made> Every Genealogy Lady will surely find something desirable on the shelf with silver jewelry! <https://genoroots.com/genogaleria/en/43-silver-jewellery> You are invited to explore, admire, and, of course, buy our exceptional genealogy items. Aleksandra <[email protected]> One thing made me a tiny bit uneasy: the website says Tadeusz will design a coat of arms for your family, adding, “You do not have to be nobility to have your own family crest. Simply ask for our offer and we compose a professional coat of arms.” I like that they’re saying up front that the herby Tadeusz creates are not authentic (unless your family did bear arms and you have Tadeusz paint the arms they were entitled to bear). This is not like a bucket shop; no one is attempting to fool you into believing a falsehood. I felt it was legitimate to quote the email here – stressing, as always, “Let the buyer beware.” Gen Dobry!, Vol. XXII, No. 5, May 2021 — 3 Still, it bothered me a little bit, if only because I liked and respected Leonard J. Suligowski, and I have a notion he would have objected to this. The szlachta were enormously important in the history of Poland. They generally did not tolerate people who faked noble status (unless, of course, the parvenu was wealthy and could buy his way into legitimacy – and even then, a lot of the lords protested mightily). The question arises, just how much are we entitled to play fast and loose with the rules of a status that used to be so important to our ancestors? I noticed researcher Debbie Greenlee also was not quite sure how to take this. She posted a statement to several mailing lists, explaining that “making up a coat of arms is very misleading.” She later clarified that statement: ... What the genoroots.com folks are doing is offering a design service to create Polishherbs for people who would like to have one. Moreover, all heraldry systems have customary “rules” of heraldry and it is my understanding that this service understands the Polish rules and will create herbs which comply with them. Buying such an herb is much like buying an original painting of a Polish folk character which conforms with all the legends about that character. In both cases, it’s a unique, custom piece of art with accurate cultural attributes, but it’s just a piece of art. What needs to be understood is that the herbs created in this way are in no way _official_. They’ve not been granted by any government or government-related agency nor do they imply that the owner of the herb has any particular social status and, in particular, _certainly_ do not imply nobility. Contrast this with, for example, the system in Britain where many people can in fact get a coat of arms, but must demonstrate that they are somehow significant and the arms are only official if approved by a (semi-)governmental agency, the College of Arms.... This is important: The folks at genoroots.com are people who I know, trust, have worked with, and indeed have recommended on numerous occasions to do genealogy work and would not hesitate to recommend in the future. Nothing I have said was intended to be a slight on their character or intent. Nothing in their herb offer is, in itself, misleading nor do I believe it was intended to be misleading. I think Debbie said it pretty well. There is potential for this service to prove misleading. Done the right way, however, it can be an opportunity to inform people about Polish culture and history. I certainly don’t have a problem with people commissioning a piece of art – as long as no one pretends it means more than it does.

    Open Military Studies 2020; 1: 70–78 Research Article Maciej Franz* Stanislaviv in the face of the Polish-Soviet War 1939 Polish Garrison – Soviet Garrison https://10.1515/openms-2020-0107 Received Oct 07, 2020; accepted Dec 11, 2020 Abstract: In 1921-1939 Stanyslaviv was one the bigger polish garrisons. The approach of the war the reason for leaving the town by polish troops. In September of 1939 the garrison in Stanyslaviv was rather small, consisting of small logistic units. Until now the historians have been interested in the face of this particular garrison in those few September days of 1939th. This is an attempt to showcase the most important events that happened while the polish troops were stationed in town and were still trying to provide peace and safety it and its people. Keywords: Polish troops, polish campaign, 1939, Second World War The Polish campaign of 1939, as the first episode of World War II, was not the same in all parts of Poland. For the inhabitants of Stanislaviv and a significant part of the Stanislaviv Voivodeship, it did not turn out to be a war against the Third Reich, but Soviet aggression – it is another episode on the long list of Polish- Russian armed conflicts in history. For people who lived in the western, southern and northern provinces of the Second Polish Republic, the war immediately took on a normal appearance. Air raids by enemy planes began, as a result – bombing, and a few days later the front was changed. The symbols of those days were mass groups of soldiers moving through these territories, both Polish soldiers who had to defend their homeland and those Germans who sought to conquer the Polish state.

  • The Impact of Regional Eu Policy on the Subregion As an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
    ZESZYTY NAUKOWE POLITECHNIKI POZNAŃSKIE J Nr 68 Organizacja i Zarządzanie 2016 Karolina OLEJNICZAK* THE IMPACT OF REGIONAL EU POLICY ON THE SUBREGION AS AN ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSYSTEM Reducing disproportions between the level of development of particular regions and an effort to control the regional development process have become the key challenges of EU regional policy. From the point of view of local development, which determines conditions for an enter- prise’s environment and the general social needs satisfied using local resources, it is specif- ically important to analyse particular subregions. In this thesis the author makes an attempt at approaching regional development from the point of view of activities undertaken within the scope of regional policies related to select- ed regional development factors. The author presents an analysis of selected programme documents as well as their im- pact on executing development policies. Furthermore, the author presents selected results of research conducted in local government units in the Leszno subregion in the context of pro- development activities undertaken at lower levels of public administration. Keywords: local government unit, development, competitiveness, subregion 1. INTRODUCTION The characteristic feature of modern-day development is its spatial diversity. Significant differences may be observed between particular EU regions. It should be noted that the diversity between the NUTS 3 level which in the case of Poland means the level of subregions (number of counties), is higher than between the NUTS 2 level, i.e. the level of provinces. Reducing the disproportion between the development levels of particular regions has become the priority of regional EU policy. The policy specifies that the development pace of the least wealthy regions should not be excessively slow.

  • Teresa˙Zarnower's Mnemonic Desire for Defense of Warsaw
    arts Article Teresa Zarnower’s˙ Mnemonic Desire for Defense of Warsaw: De-Montaging Photography Maria Anna Rogucka Department of Art and Visual History, Humboldt University, 10117 Berlin, Germany; [email protected] Received: 22 April 2020; Accepted: 20 July 2020; Published: 28 July 2020 Abstract: Teresa Zarnower˙ (1897, Warsaw, Poland–1949, New York, United States), a Polish Constructivist artist of Jewish descent who was forced to emigrate abroad during World War II, became a dominant figure working for the Polish government in exile. She produced a series of photomontages for a book titled The Defense of Warsaw, which was published in 1942 by a “Polish Labor Group” in New York. Zarnower˙ used her technical expertise in photomontage to create new configurations of war photographs documenting Nazi Germany’s attack on Poland in 1939. She chose this shocking and politically loaded content to gain credibility and global attention for her work. Drawing on Benjamin Buchloh’s essay From Faktura to Factography, the aim of this study is to analyze the factographic paradigm in the usage of war photography and in the context of the esthetics of constructivist photomontage. The focus will lie on its mnemonic and archival functions, further highlighting the montage’s function as a key form of social memory model. Keywords: Polish constructivist photomontage; politics of architectural photomontage; antiwar book; Jewish female artist; exiled interwar avant-garde; model of social memory; war photography; mnemonic construction of war; iconography of death; documentary methods in art 1. Introduction The first and only monograph on Polish artist Teresa Zarnower˙ was published in 2014 under the title Teresa Zarnower˙ ówna.1 Artystka Ko´ncaUtopii (1897–1949) [Teresa Zarnower˙ (1897–1949).
