Copyright © London Branch of the Polish Home Army Ex-Servicemen Association Copying permitted with reference to source and authors www.polishresistance-ak.org Article 17 Dr Grzegorz Ostasz, The Polish Government-in-Exile's Home Delegature During the Second World War the Polish Underground State was based on a collection of political and military organisations striving for independence. These were formed throughout Polish territories, then under German and Soviet occupation. The long tradition of struggles for independence was conducive to their creation. Already in the autumn of 1939 measures were taken to appoint an underground central administrative authority that would be a continuation of the pre-war state administration. The Statute of Service for Victory in Poland referred to the necessity of creating ‘a provisional national authority on home territory’. Likewise General Wladyslaw Sikorski’s cabinet endeavoured to establish a governmental executive organ in occupied Poland. At the start of 1940 it was decided that a home territories civilian commissioner would be granted ministerial prerogatives and hold the position of the Government-in-Exile’s delegate (plenipotentiary). Hope of the imminent defeat of the occupying powers and a repetition of the First World War scenario hastened the construction of a government administration ready to take over control of a liberated and ‘unclaimed Polish land’. The tasks of such an organisation were to include: cooperating with the Government-in-Exile (allied to France and Great Britain) and the Union for Armed Struggle (later the Home Army); participating in the planning of a general rising; consolidating the Polish community and directing its resistance to the German-Soviet occupation. -

Discourse of Heresy in Polish Post-WWII Literature Herling╎s
ACTA UNIVERSITATIS LODZIENSIS Folia Litteraria Polonica 4(55) 2019 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1505-9057.55.21 Margreta Grigorowa* https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4416-371X Discourse of heresy in Polish post-WWII literature Herling’s and Herbert’s heretics Heretics, stakes, and inquisitors invaded Polish literature of the second half of the 20th century. That was visible in the outputs of renowned Polish authors who en- dured the apocalypse of World War II and the dictatorships of the last century: Gustaw Herling-Grudziński (1919–2000), a prisoner of the Gulag in Yertsevo, combatant in the Warsaw Uprising, as well as Andrzej Szczypiorski (1928–2000), a prisoner of the Lager in Sachsenhausen, Zbigniew Herbert (1924–1998), a young poet in occupied Lviv, or those who survived Soviet occupation, e.g. Czesław Miłosz (1911–2004) and Jerzy Andrzejewski (1909–1983). What heretics can be found in their works? Jacques de Molay, a Knight Tem- plar burnt at the stake together with 36 other “relentless brothers”, Albigensians, Cathars, the related Bulgarian Bogomils in Herbert’s essays in the Barbarzyńca w ogrodzie1 volume: Obrona templariuszy and O albigensach, inkwizytorach i tru- badurach. Herling-Grudziński’s short stories featured the heretic Giordano Bruno and his spiritual ally the artist Caravaggio, e.g. in the short story Głęboki cień, the mysterious heretic from Bolsena in the short story Drugie przyjście, and the legendary St. Aaron, a former heretic, stealer of the Host, who by God’s miracle was saved from the stake in the short story Legenda o nawróconym pustelniku. Giordano Bruno was also featured in one of Miłosz’s key poems from 1943 entitled Campo di Fiori (Herling-Grudziński referred to it in his texts on Giordano Bruno), where the historical parallel became vivid during the nightmare with the burning * Professor, University of Veliko Turnovo St Cyril and St. -
The Phenomenon of Banished Soldiers in Polish Schools As an Example of the Politics of Memory
Journal of Social Science Education Volume 18 Issue 1 Fall 2019 Article DOI 10.4119/jsse-921 The phenomenon of banished soldiers in Polish schools as an example of the politics of memory Ewa Bacia Technische Universität Berlin – The new core curriculum for teaching history in Polish schools is an example of the implementation of the politics of memory. – The primary purpose of teaching history at schools has become to stir up patriotic emotions. – This goal is to be reached by promoting distinguished Polish figures, presented as morally impeccable heroes. – Patriotism is linked to war, the image of which is simplified and trivialised. – The promotion of a black and white vision of history is a threat to Polish democracy. Purpose: The article intends to analyse the manner in which banished soldiers are presented in the new history curriculum at schools in Poland as an example of the politics of memory. Design/methodology/approach: The analysis is a case study of the phenomenon of banished soldiers in the Polish public discourse. It includes the following issues: the history of banished soldiers, the core history curriculum after the education reform in Poland, its objectives and goals (with particular emphasis on banished soldiers), the manner of presenting the banished soldiers in educational, public and social environments in Poland today, the impact of new historical politics on the Polish society and democracy. Findings: The manner of presenting the issue of banished soldiers in the core curriculum for teaching history in Polish schools exemplifies the efforts to introduce a new political paradigm into the educational context. -
THE POLISH POLICE Collaboration in the Holocaust
THE POLISH POLICE Collaboration in the Holocaust Jan Grabowski The Polish Police Collaboration in the Holocaust Jan Grabowski INA LEVINE ANNUAL LECTURE NOVEMBER 17, 2016 The assertions, opinions, and conclusions in this occasional paper are those of the author. They do not necessarily reflect those of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. First printing, April 2017 Copyright © 2017 by Jan Grabowski THE INA LEVINE ANNUAL LECTURE, endowed by the William S. and Ina Levine Foundation of Phoenix, Arizona, enables the Center to bring a distinguished scholar to the Museum each year to conduct innovative research on the Holocaust and to disseminate this work to the American public. Wrong Memory Codes? The Polish “Blue” Police and Collaboration in the Holocaust In 2016, seventy-one years after the end of World War II, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs disseminated a long list of “wrong memory codes” (błędne kody pamięci), or expressions that “falsify the role of Poland during World War II” and that are to be reported to the nearest Polish diplomat for further action. Sadly—and not by chance—the list elaborated by the enterprising humanists at the Polish Foreign Ministry includes for the most part expressions linked to the Holocaust. On the long list of these “wrong memory codes,” which they aspire to expunge from historical narrative, one finds, among others: “Polish genocide,” “Polish war crimes,” “Polish mass murders,” “Polish internment camps,” “Polish work camps,” and—most important for the purposes of this text—“Polish participation in the Holocaust.” The issue of “wrong memory codes” will from time to time reappear in this study. -

Institute of National Remembrance https://ipn.gov.pl/en/news/4529,quotFreedom-and-Independencequot-WiN.html 2021-09-25, 23:43 04.09.2020 "Freedom and Independence" (WiN) What Molotov and Ribbentrop signed on 23 August 1939 immediately translated into war, enslavement and extermination, and the Poles were the first victims of all three. Yet, they fought back against the allied occupation regimes of Hitler and Stalin, then they fought against the former when he attacked the latter, and carried on when the Soviet Union prevailed over Germany and started the second occupation of Poland. The embodiment of that fight was WiN – Freedom and Independence. The taking of Poland by the Red Army, the Soviet terror and building of state structures by the Polish communists subordinate to the USSR, forced the underground army to change its forms of activities. The words the soldiers of the Home Army [AK – Armia Krajowa] heard after they swore their oath did not come to fruition: “Victory will be your reward”. There was no victory and the last commander, gen. Leopold Okulicki codename “Niedźwiadek” thought the Home Army to be too big of an organisation and too compromised to base further activities aiming to bring back Poland’s sovereignty on it. On January 19th 1945, the Home Army was disbanded. In the last order, the soldiers heard that they were to continue to fight for independence, but on new terms, each was to be their own commander. Okulicki’s decision probably saved many soldiers of the Home Army from repressions, but it also introduced chaos by depriving them of clear instructions on what to do next. -

6. Nostromo and the Mechanics of History
6. Nostromo and the Mechanics of History The process of history becomes Nostromo’s dominant theme through Conrad’s narrative strategies concerning time, place, and characters. Despite its title the focus of Nostromo is not on a particular figure but on a whole country, the fictional South American state Costaguana. Although the central action of the novel – the events leading up to the foundation of the Occidental Republic – spans just a few days in 1890 (cf. Watts, Nostromo 61-66), there are countless references to the past as far back as the Spanish Conquest in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and to about ten years to the future of the secession of Sulaco from Costaguana. Conrad’s use of such a large time-scale enables him to give the reader multiple perspectives of the main events. He can zoom in on the characters involved in the War of Separation but he can show at the same time that this upheaval is just one of many similar ones that have occurred in the past and will occur again in the future. Not only the treatment of time and place thus draws attention to the process of history but also the social panorama that is presented. In the course of the narrative we come across representatives of numerous classes and ethnic groups that constitute the society of the country. This enormous canvas facilitates the identification of the characters with a certain social class and/or ethnic group and allows for the action of the novel to be analysed in abstract political and historical terms. -
