  • The Jews of Poland We Are Dedicated to Making Your Experience Rich in Content and Superior in Comfort
    A Program for the Museum of Jewish Heritage Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow The Jews of Poland We are dedicated to making your experience rich in content and superior in comfort. October 1–12, 2021 This unique travel program combines the expertise and resources of two organizations that cherish the traditions, achievements, and faith of Jewish communities – past and present – around the world. Jewish Heritage Travel and the Museum of Jewish Heritage are delighted to have the opportunity to share this rich, varied, and poignant history and culture with you on these select trips. We look forward to traveling with you. Program Overview Before World War II, Poland’s 3 million Jews represented one of the largest and most influential Jewish communities in the world. The diverse community included Hasidim, secular Jewish intellectuals, Yiddish writers, Zionists, and socialists. Recently, a world-class museum opened in Warsaw, devoted to what Jewish life and culture were like in Poland. Jewish festivals in Kraków and other parts of Poland attract tens of thousands of people each year. Additionally, several universities have opened Judaic studies departments that have nurtured graduate students who have published impressive publications, bringing to life important aspects of Poland’s astonishingly rich Jewish history and culture. Join us on what promises to be a meaningful and fascinating trip— beginning in Warsaw, where a highlight will be a guided tour of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews, a museum that explores Poland’s 1,000-year Jewish history. Additionally, in Warsaw, we will visit sites including the monument to the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, the memorial of Mila 18, and the Umschlagplatz—the site from which Jews were deported to Auschwitz and Treblinka.

  • The Czechs and the Lands of the Bohemian Crown
    6 Rebellion and Catastrophe The Thirty Years’ War was the last great religious war in Europe, and the first Europe-wide conflict of balance-of-power politics. Beginning with the Bohemian rebellion in 1618, the war grew into a confrontation between the German Protestant princes and the Holy Roman Emperor, and finally became a contest between France and the Habsburgs’ two dynastic monarchies, involving practically all other powers. The war may be divided into four phases: the Bohemian-Palatinate War (1618– 23), the Danish War (1625–29), the Swedish War (1630–35), and the Franco-Swedish War (1635–48). When the war finally ended with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, the treaties set the groundwork for the system of international relations still in effect today. The outcome of the war integrated the Bohemian crownlands more fully with the other Habsburg possessions in a family empire that aspired to maintain its position as one of the powers in the international state system. This aspiration involved recurrent conflicts, on one side with the Turks, and on the other with Louis XIV’s France. .......................... 10888$ $CH6 08-05-04 15:18:33 PS PAGE 68 Rebellion and Catastrophe 69 VAE VICTIS!: THE BOHEMIAN CROWNLANDS IN THE THIRTY YEARS’ WAR After the Battle of the White Mountain and Frederick’s flight from Prague (his brief reign earned him the epithet ‘‘The Winter King’’), the last garrisons loyal to the Estates in southern and western Bohemia surrendered in May 1622. Even before these victories Ferdinand II began to settle accounts with his Bohemian opponents.

  • Perceived Façade Colours in Different Daylight Situations: Survey in the Old Town of Warsaw
    Journal of the International Colour Association (2017): 17, 92-119 Sochocka and Fridell Anter Perceived façade colours in different daylight situations: Survey in the Old Town of Warsaw Anna Sochocka1,2 and Karin Fridell Anter3 1Faculty of Architecture WUT, Warsaw, Poland 2Faculty of Architecture NTNU, Trondheim, Norway 3SYN-TES Colour and Light Network, Sweden Emails: [email protected]; [email protected] The study was initiated by a debate on the methods for selecting façade colours in the reconstruction of the Old Town in Warsaw. In this debate, the difference between the nominal façade colour and the façade colour as perceived in the cityscape was not acknowledged. The nominal colour is here defined as the colour that the surface would have if viewed in the standardised situation used in the definition of Natural Colour System (NCS) samples, including standard light, viewing distance and surrounding colours. The nominal colour is expressed through the NCS notation of the colour sample that is the most similar to the façade in direct comparison, and for a newly painted façade it corresponds to the NCS notation of the paint. The aim of the present study is to investigate the difference between perceived colour as seen from a distance of approximately thirty metres, and the nominal colour of the same façades. The method is based on previously published work by Fridell Anter using the NCS for survey and analysis. The perceived colours of nine façades are determined under different weather conditions, in a total of 84 observations. The analysis shows that the perceived blackness of the façades is generally lower than the nominal blackness.
