Ognisko Polskie - The Polish Hearth Club 55 Exhibition Road London SW7 2PN Member Price: Free Non-member Price: Free To celebrate the Centenary of Polish Independence, Ognisko Polskie and the Polish Landowners Association are proud to jointly host an Exhibition entitled “Europa w Rodzinie” to open at Ognisko on Sunday 4th March 2018. The Exhibition pays tribute to a significant sector of Polish Society, the ‘Landed Gentry’ which for centuries constituted the backbone of Poland’s cultural economic and political life. Ognisko Polskie is the natural venue for the exhibition considering its background and patronage. The author of the exhibition is the Polish Institute of National Remembrance, “Instytut Pamieci Narodowej” who kindly agreed to bring it over to London. It was first displayed in the Royal Castle in Warsaw and has subsequently been shown in most of the major cities in Poland. The exhibition traces the achievements and ethos of this social group and its virtual demise in the 20th Century during the period of communist rule. Personalities such as Witold Lutoslawski, Josef Czapski, Witold Gombrowicz, Witold Pilecki are famous figures in the 20th Century, all very different characters and all from Landed Gentry families.

    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.

  • Accommodation, Collaboration, and Resistance in Poland, 1939- 1947: a Theory of Choices and the Methodology of a Case Study 1
    1 Marek Jan Chodakiewicz Accommodation, Collaboration, And Resistance in Poland, 1939- 1947: A Theory of Choices and the Methodology of a Case Study 1 A human being virtually always has a choice of how to conduct himself. Depending on the circumstances and conditions, a man can choose to behave actively or passively, atrociously or decently, and, exceptionally, even heroically. Moreover, one can display in succession any or all of the aforementioned characteristics. The innate attributes and handicaps of an individual inform the choices but do not guarantee the outcomes. That means that, at a certain point, a decent human being can behave atrociously, and vice versa. This concerns in particular human behavior in the extremity of terror. However, rather than suggesting that human behavior is arbitrary and unpredictable, I would like to propose that human behavior is a result of choices. How I arrived at these conclusions is the topic of the present discussion. I shall discuss first the methodology of my inquiry and then I shall elaborate on my discoveries. The Scientific Laboratory Scientific experiments are usually performed in a laboratory. As any biologist, chemist, or physicist can attest, sometimes the practical application of various scientific theories in the laboratory renders them null and void. At other times, however, scientific discoveries achieved in the controlled environment of the laboratory prove problematic at best and worthless at the extreme, if applied in the outside world. 1 I would like to dedicate my lecture to the memory of Professor Stanisław Blejwas, a teacher and a friend. 2 Throughout the ages the world has served as a giant laboratory for social scientists, historians in particular.

  • 212 Short Notes
    SHORT NOTES* MIDDLE AGES Krzysztof Czapla, Dziadoszanie. Plemię zamieszkujące ziemię głogowską w X wieku [Dziadoszan: the tribe inhabiting the Głogów Land in the 10th century], Głogów, 2014, Państwowa Wyższa Szkoła Zawodowa w Głogowie, 257 pp., ills., maps, tables, diagrams, list of archaeological sites, figure, map, table and diagram captions; explanatory notes to the archaeological sites’ list in Polish and English, summary in English 1 The purpose of this archaeological study is to describe the population – named Dziadoszan (Dziadoszanie) – that inhabited the constellation of settlement clusters in the area of Głogów (ca. 1,500 sq. km) between the appearance of Slavic settlement (late 5th – early 6th centuries) and the integration of this territory into the newly-emerging states (mid-10th c.). The focus is on the natural environment, the development of forms of settlement (how the settlements were deployed relative to the landforms, soils and water network; the sizes and arrangement of the settlements, designs of the buildings), the economic foundations (hunting, agriculture, crafts and trade) and forms of social and political organisation. It is remarked that the network of settle- ments emerged at a rather early date locally, and kept in contact with the neighbouring communities and, in parallel, with the countries in the West and in the South (as testified by objects scarcely imported from the East Frankian, Avar and Bohemian-Moravian areas). In the late years of the period under discussion, strongholds appeared in the lands inhabited by the Dziadoszan tribe, with seventeen settlement clusters developed around them, occupying an area of 5 to 25 sq. km each, and each comprising one (or, rarely, two) strongholds (there moreover were twenty-eight settlement clusters without such central hubs).

  • Newsletter 57
    THE BHUTAN SOCIETY NEWSLETTER NUMBER 57 PRESIDENT: SIR SIMON BOWES LYON AUTUMN 2015 Summer visit by Society members Annual Dinner A final reminder to those who have not already booked, that this Dinner will be held on Friday 27 November at The Polish Hearth Club, 55 Prince’s Gate, Exhibition Road, London SW7 2PN. Booking forms were enclosed with the last Newsletter. Please complete and return with payment to the Dinner Secretary, Mark Swinbank. Blessed, or cursed, by the hottest July temperature ever recorded in Britain, members of the Society were welcomed by Sir Simon and Lady Bowes Lyon to St Paul’s Walden Bury for a delightfully informal but informative day. The house, in the family of the Society’s President since 1725, is the place where HM the late Queen Mother grew up and was later home to her brother, David (Simon’s father). From its oldest part, the 18th century Adam style north wing, formal tree-lined allées, each leading the eye to a statue or architectural feature, radiate in the classic French goose-foot pattern. Although the show of flowering shrubs from Simon’s trips to the Himalayas were over, it was the perfect time to see a special Bhutanese tree Cornus capitata in full bloom (or, technically, bract). This provided a good backdrop for the group photograph above. After a light lunch next to a gnarled but magnificent old oak, Caroline showed guests round the house, with its original 18th century plasterwork ceilings and some very recognisable royal pieces: a portrait of the Queen Mother (one half of a pair with that of her brother David), and a rocking horse which had been ridden by the young princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, as seen in a photograph from 1932.

  • In the Shadow of the Sacred Bodies. the Monthly Smolensk Commemorations in Krakow1
    Ethnologia Polona, vol. 38: 2017 (2018), 107 – 123 PL ISSN 0137 - 4079 IN THE SHADOW OF THE SACRED BODIES. THE MONTHLY SMOLENSK COMMEMORATIONS IN KRAKOW1 MONIKA GOLONKA-CZAJKOWSKA INSTITUTE OF ETHNOLOGY AND CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY THE JAGIELLONIAN UNIVERSITY The monthly Smoleńsk commemorations (pol. Miesięcznice Smoleńskie), organised in Krakow, are a special case of politico-religious rituals, which commemorate the tragic event of the presidential plane crash on the 10th April 2010. While for external observers these gatherings appear to be primarily a kind of political demonstration, they mean something more for its participants. Compared to the Warsaw monthiversaries, the Krakow commemorations differ mainly in terms of the nature of the celebration, which is a consequence of the space of national heritage (the mausoleum of Polish kings and National Memorial Cross) and the type of participants. References to religion here are not just a regular, ritual scenography. On the contrary, by referring to the authority and power of the sacred, they are, in great measure, a source of inner strength for this ideological group supporting the governing revolutionary right-wing camp in Poland. This paper will analyse the role of religion in this ritual in order to uncover both the official and vernacular religious practices that create the phenomenon of the monthly Smolensk celebrations in Krakow. * * * Organizowane co miesiąc w Krakowie uroczystości upamiętniające tzw. katastrofę smoleńską są szczególnym przypadkiem rytuałów o charakterze religijno-politycznym. O ile dla zewnętrznych obserwatorów celebracje te wydają się być przede wszystkim rodzajem manifestacji politycznych, o tyle dla samych uczestników stają się także okazją do przeżycia intensywnego doświadczenia religijnego.
