  • WCZESNOŚREDNIOWIECZNY GRÓD W ŁAPCZYCY, POW. BOCHNIA, W ŚWIETLE BADAŃ LAT 1965—1967 I 1972
    Sprawozdania Archeologiczne, t. XXVI, 1974 ANTONI JODŁOWSKI WCZESNOŚREDNIOWIECZNY GRÓD W ŁAPCZYCY, POW. BOCHNIA, W ŚWIETLE BADAŃ LAT 1965—1967 i 1972 WSTĘP W Łapczycy położonej w odległości 4 km w kierunku zachodnim od Bochni, na prawym brzegu Raby znajduje się grodzisko usytuowane na wzniesieniu o na- zwie „Grodzisko" (ryc. 1—2). Jest to jeden z cyplowatych występów pasma wznie- sień, ciągnącego się równoleżnikowo od miejscowości Chełm — a ściślej od potoku Moszczenickiego — na zachodzie po Bochnię na wschodzie, stanowiącego granicę między Pogórzem Karpackim a Kotliną Sandomierską. Grodzisko leży na północnym stoku owego grzbietu, znacznie poniżej jego kulminacji i ograniczone jest od pół- nocy, północnego zachodu oraz północnego wschodu doliną Raby, która dawniej prze- pływała bezpośrednio u jego podnóża (obecnie koryto rzeki znajduje się w odle- głości 230 m na północ). Od południa i południowego wschodu zbocza grodziska opadają stromo do małej doliny z wysychającym okresowo niedużym strumykiem bez nazwy, natomiast od strony zachodniej i południowo-zachodniej, gdzie teren wznosi się łagodnie ku południowi, obiekt oddzielony był od pozostałej części wzgó- rza naturalnym obniżeniem, pogłębionym sztucznie w celu zwiększenia obronności. Wschodnia partia grodziska zniszczona została częściowo przez wybieranie gliny, majdan zaś, zbocze zachodnie i podgrodzie zajęte są pod uprawę, która spowodo- wała silne zniwelowanie wałów. Pierwotną formę i rozmiary grodu wyznaczają naturalne załomy zboczy oraz zachowane miejscami fragmenty umocnień obronnych. Wskazują one, że gród skła- dał się z dwóch części: z grodu właściwego w kształcie nieregularnego owalu zbliżonego do wieloboku o wym. 96 X 58 m, tj. 55,68 ara, wydłużonego wzdłuż osi NE—SW (ryc. 3), i czworobocznego podgrodzia o powierzchni 60,9 ara (105 X 58 m), przylegającego do grodu od strony północno-wschodniej.

When Sweden invaded Poland, in June 1655, it went to war with an army which reflected not only the state’s military and cultural strengths but also its fiscal weaknesses. During 1655 the Swedes won great successes in Poland and captured most of the country. But a series of military decisions transformed the Swedish army from a concentrated, combined-arms force into a mobile but widely dispersed force.

  • The Consensus of Sandomierz: an Early Attempt to Create a Unified Protestant Church in 16Th Century Poland and Lithuania
    CTQ 73 (2009): 317–346 The Consensus of Sandomierz : An Early Attempt to Create a Unified Protestant Church in 16 th Century Poland and Lithuania Darius Petkunas In early April 1570, representatives of the Reformed, Lutheran, and Bohemian Brethren Churches in Poland and Lithuania met in the city of Sandomierz for an extraordinary general synod. The purpose was to formulate a common confession which would symbolize the united faith and practice of the three churches to the crown and the parliament. The result was the formulation and acceptance of the Consensus of Sandomierz (Latin: Consensus Sendomiriensis) .1 The signing of the Consensus of Sandomierz has been regarded as a watershed event, unique not only in the history of the Polish and Lithuanian Churches, but in the Reformation era. It was here that, for the first time, representatives of three separate Protestant confessions with diverse theological and liturgical traditions stated that the chief obstacles in the way of church union had been overcome. They were now essentially united in faith, making intercommunion possible. Future efforts would make the realization of this unity evident to all. Never before had Lutherans been willing to concede so much in order to enter a consensus, even though there was no agreement on the essential sacramental issues. In the 1520s, Lutherans had even refused to enter into a military alliance with Zwinglian and other Reformed princes and territories to create a common defense in the face of what seemed to be an inevitable attack from Roman Catholic military forces. At Marburg in 1529, Luther and Ulrich Zwingli were unable to come to an agreement concerning the nature of Christ’s presence in the Sacrament of the Altar thereby dooming any possibility of a common Protestant front against the Roman Catholic Church.

  • THE BIAŁYSTOK and KIELCE GHETTOS: a COMPARATIVE STUDY Sara Bender
    THE BIAŁYSTOK AND KIELCE GHETTOS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY Sara Bender During the past two decades, scholars have written research reports and monographs about several Jewish communities in Poland that were destroyed in the Holocaust. Archivists in the United States and Israel conducted a massive campaign to gather testimony from Holocaust survivors and some of the major World War II and Holocaust testimonials have been computerized. An invaluable aid to those engaged in studying the history of the Polish Jews during the period of the German occupation, these tools have enabled scholars to conduct comparative studies of the ghettos—for example, of two ghettos in Poland (Białystok and Kielce) to which Holocaust historians had previously accorded scant attention. FROM SOVIET TO GERMAN OCCUPATION In accordance with the terms of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Treaty between the Third Reich and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Army entered eastern Poland on September 17, 1939, and, within a month, annexed this territory. One of the major cities annexed was Białystok (known for its textile industry), with a Jewish population of some 50,000. The remainder of Poland was divided into two parts: western and northern Poland, annexed by the Reich; and central Poland, which as of October 1939 became a single political administrative unit known as the Generalgouvernement; this unit was subdivided into four districts: Warsaw, Lublin, Kraków, and Radom. The city of Kielce, whose Jewish population in September 1939 numbered approximately 20,000, was located in the Radom district. The Soviets controlled Białystok for a little less than two years. On June 27, 1941, the Germans invaded Białystok and within a month imprisoned Jews in a ghetto.

  • 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.

Last Post S. School Community Sel. Number of Souls (inhabitants) Statsp. Government lump sum Ter. Territory XII. Galicia We first want to give a few explanations in order to improve understanding for the special conditions of Galicia's protestant parishes. The protestant parishes of Galicia are exclusively German parishes and have mainly emerged from the country's colonization carried out by Empress Maria Theresia and Emperor Josef II in the second half of the last century. Immigrants mainly came from South Germany. Protestant colonists received considerable rights and privileges through the patents of October 1, 1774 and September 17, 1781. One to mention before all others is the „ Freie Religions Exercitium “ (free practice of religion), at first only in the cities Lemberg, Jaroslau, Brody, Zamosc and Zaleßezyki, later „without any restriction to this or that location“ in the whole country, with the rights to build prayer houses and churches, as well as the appointing and employing of pastors. In the cities gratuitous bestowal of citizens' rights 1 and right to possession 2. Furthermore exemption from all personal taxes and dues, at first for 6, then for 1 Not every citizen automatically had citizens' rights (mainly rights to vote).

  • Polish-Jewish Genealogical Research Handout
    Polish-Jewish Genealogical Research Warren Blatt HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF POLISH BORDER CHANGES: 1795 — 3rd and final partition of Poland; Poland ceases to exist as a nation. Northern and western areas (Poznañ, Kalisz, Warsaw, £om¿a, Bia³ystok) taken by Prussia; Eastern areas (Vilna, Grodno, Brest) taken by Russia; Southern areas (Kielce, Radom, Lublin, Siedlce) becomes part of Austrian province of West Galicia. 1807 — Napoleon defeats Prussia; establishes Grand Duchy of Warsaw from former Prussian territory. 1809 — Napoleon defeats Austria; West Galicia (includes most of future Kielce-Radom-Lublin-Siedlce gubernias) becomes part of Napoleon's Duchy of Warsaw. 1815 — Napoleon defeated at Waterloo; Congress of Vienna establishes “Kingdom of Poland” (aka “Congress Poland” or “Russian Poland”) from former Duchy of Warsaw, as part of the Russian Empire; Galicia becomes part of Austro-Hungarian Empire; Western provinces are retained by Prussia. 1918 — End of WWI. Poland reborn at Versailles, but only comprising 3/5ths the size of pre-partition Poland. 1945 — End of WWII. Polish borders shift west: loses territory to U.S.S.R., gains former German areas.
