ONLINE EXCHANGE BRESCIA & BRUSY Istituto Tecnico Tecnologico Baracca Kaszubskie Liceum Ogólnokształcące w Brusach 2021 Elisa Lacagnina Thanks to the Etwinning platform I had the possibility to know Ms. Alicja Frymark, English teacher from Kashubian Secondary School (Kaszubskie Liceum Ogólnokształcące) in Brusy, Poland. Since our first online meeting on Skype, we have kept talking, most of all, of our school project called “Online exchange - Brescia & Brusy”. To start, we decided to assign our students a partner to make them work in pairs. Their task was to exchange emails with their friend about the topic given and then, with the information, to write a short article in English. We assigned different topics like Covid 19 and lockdown; traditional food; language uses; interesting facts about the city, the country and the region; school; local tradition. The first part of the project went really well and I was satisfied with the work done. My 5th-year students are enthusiastic about having a “virtual” foreign partner. I decided to start an online exchange because my students felt the need to improve their English speaking and writing skills, as we have only 3 hour English a week. According to me, these opportunities are not only useful to improve the language skills but also to expand your knowledge, to meet new people, to know about the uses and the customs of different countries. Moreover, it was the right moment to start a project of this kind precisely in this difficult period. We have been experiencing a different life, due to Covid 19 home–schooling, restrictions, curfews, prohibitions etc.

Piotr Szubarczyk Institute of National Remembrance THE WESTERN LANDS OF THE SECOND REPUBLIC OF POLAND INCORPORATED INTO THE THIRD REICH Based on a secret protocol of the German-Soviet treaty of 23 August 1939, the territory of the Republic of Poland was divided between the Third Reich and the Soviet Union. According to that secret protocol, commonly known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the border between the two aggressors was supposed to run along the rivers Vistula, Narew and San. The German- Soviet Frontier Treaty of 28 September 1939, also known as the 2nd Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, constituted an amendment to the prior treaty. In return for handing Lithuania over to the Soviets, the Germans were given Lublin Province and part of Warsaw Province. While the Polish territories occupied by the Soviets (52% of the area of Poland) were targeted for immediate Russification and Sovietisation (some were also incorporated into the Ukrainian and Byelorussian SSRs as a result of “elections” as early as in the autumn of 1939), the German-occupied territory was diverse with regard to its legal status. Part of it was considered to be the “vestiges of Poland” and a source of cheap labour. There, Adolf Hitler established the General Government for the Occupied Polish Territories (GG). The Germans did not even attempt to Germanise the local population (Polish majority, large percentage of Jews, minimal representation of Germans), and the area was also where they “deported” Poles from the lands incorporated to the Third Reich. Half of the territory occupied by Germany (94,000 km2) was incorporated into the Deutsches Reich by decree of Adolf Hitler of 8 October 1939.

Warsaw, the capital, and Poland’s largest metropoli- tan area, has a population of 1.7 million people. The five other largest cities are: Łódź, Kraków, Wrocław, Poznań and Gdańsk. The establishment of a Polish state can be traced back to 966, when Mieszko I, ruler of a territory roughly co- extensive with that of present-day Poland, converted to Christianity. The Kingdom of Poland was founded in 1025. The name “Poland” originates from the tribe “Polanie” which means “people living in open fields”. 2 3 Westerplatte Quay Westerplatte Quay, where cruise ships moor, is a unique place, thanks to its location in the direct vicinity of the port’s entrance. This reduces to a minimum the time required for docking. In terms of tourism, arriving passengers can get to one of the most valuable historic buildings in Gdańsk – the Wisłoujście Fortress within 5 min- utes, and to the Memorial to the Westerplatte Defenders situated within 5 minutes walking distance from the quay. It was here that on 1 September 1939 World War II began, with the shelling of West- erplatte by the Nazi battleship Schleswig-Holstein. Cruise ships dock right at the foot of the monumental Memorial to the Westerplatte Defenders raised as a commemoration of those events.

Research data was collected during field studies, using methods of semi-structured interviews, on-site direct observations, and desk research. The article also provides information about the context of operation of contemporary community archives in Poland, especially the phenomenon of professionalization of community archives and its impact on methods of their archival work. As a key finding, the study stresses the importance of knowing the community archive’s context in understanding its archival practices. Keywords: Community archives, independent archives, archival processing, archival description 1. Introduction The term “community archive” has been defined in the English-language scientific literature numerous times, not without problems (for example, Flinn, 2007; Flinn, 2011; Newman, 2011; Gilliland & Flinn, 2013; Caswell, 2014; Flinn, 2015; Welland, 2015; Vukliš & Gilliland, 2016; Sheffield, 2017). Recently, authors of two articles have attempted to summarize the current scholarship in the field of community archives, including their definitions.

A Tribe After All? the Problem of Slovincians' Identity in An
M. Filip. A Tribe after all? ... УДК 572; ББК 28.71; DOI https://doi.org/10.21638/spbu19.2018.208 M. Filip A TRIBE AFTER ALL? THE PROBLEM OF SLOVINCIANS’ IDENTITY IN AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL APPROACH 1 The identity of Slovincians is a subject of a wide range of controversies in the field of Disputatio / Дискуссия Slavic studies. The root of the conflict between supporters of the ethnic distinctiveness of Slovincians, and opponents who suggest Slovincians are a part of the Kashubian ethnic group (and thus an ethnographic group), is the past work of Aleksandr Hilferding2, a Russian linguist and ethnographer who was the first to describe this group’s history and culture. He claimed that Slovincians and Kashubians were the last Slavs on the southern shore of the Baltic Sea to oppose Germanisation since early medieval. Hilferding’s theses were the basis of the canonical history of Slovincians, in which this ethnic group had roots to a tribe of the same name. In the middle of the 19th century, Slovincians living between Lake Gardno and Lake Łebsko were indeed the westernmost group of Slavs living in Pomerania, or more precisely on the eastern frontier of western Pomerania (ger. Hinterpommern). They commonly switched to the German language and assimilated a German ethnic identity as late as the start of the 20th century. As a consequence, Slovincians who found themselves living in Poland after World War II were seen as Germans and were subjected to displacement by settlers and administrators of the region. The Polish intellectual elite, however, did not forget about the Slavic origin of the region’s inhabitants and demanded leaving them on the Polish soil and suggested their re-Slavisation, or de facto Polonisation.

1 Kashubian National Movement Emerged in the Mid-Nineteenth
KASHUBIAN NATIONAL MOVEMENT. AN ATTEMPT AT THE HISTORY OVERVIEW Kashubian national movement emerged in the mid-nineteenth century out of the need to protest against the political consolidation and cultural assimilation enforced by the Prussian state, within the boarders of which were the Kashubians. Its purpose was the protection and development of their own identity, of which the language was the foundation, and struggle for the legal status on the German-Polish border. The development of Kashubian statehood was interrupted early, which stopped the natural formation of the Kashubian (Pomeranian) nation. Although the West State ruled by the royal Griffin dynasty survived from the Middle Ages to the seventeenth century, its population had been Germanized a lot sooner. In the Middle Ages Gdańsk Pomerania enjoyed independence for a little more than a century. After that it fell into the hands of the Teutonic Knights for almost 150 years. Further 300 years it was under the rule of Royal Prussia administered by Polish Kingdom, and finally, during the first partition of Poland it became a part of the Prussian State. Nevertheless, traditionally it is the whole of Pomerania from the Baltic Sea to the Notec river – defines Józef Borzyszkowski1 – by the lower Oder and Vistula, this is the original Kashubia, the spiritual homeland of contemporary Kashubians. It is this tradition that the representatives of native intelligence called for in the mid-nineteenth century, through which the remnant Slavs of the southern Baltic Sea coast – as it was already said about Kashubians – over the next several decades were awoken from their lethargy and started their own path to national revival.

Introduction, So Poland Be Polish
An Anthology of the Nationalist Underground Press “Poland had to wait for one thousand years for the appearance of the slogan that the Commonwealth should be inhabited solely by the Poles. It was only the Soviet agentura that advanced and implemented this slogan here; we will not encounter it proposed by any Polish thinker.”1 Adam Doboszy ński Introduction This is the first-ever anthology of the Polish nationalist underground press between 1939 and 1949. In other words, we shall concentrate on the clandestine press and publications of Poland’s Right-wing nationalist movement ( ruch narodowy , Endecja ). The objective is to show Polish nationalism and its purveyors under the most extreme of conditions: during the German and Soviet occupations. Initially, we expected to encounter rabid ideological Polish nationalist extremism. Instead, we discovered that the underground nationalist thought was, given the context of the era, paradoxically quite pluralistic, interestingly multifaceted, and rather moderate in comparison with other surrounding nationalisms and competing radical currents, in particular racist national socialism and communism. The chronological framework of the anthology is, on the one hand, the outbreak of the Second World War and, on the other, the destruction of the last large outfits of the nationalist underground by the Communists. In Part One we shall summarize the ideology and practice of Polish nationalism. We shall discuss both the history and the organizational forms of the nationalist movement and we shall also establish the chronological and thematic framework. We shall then describe how the nationalist movement functioned in the underground (1939– 1949) and in its general historical context.

Therefore, One Should Ask the Question About the Actual Purpose
1 Prof. Jan Żaryn Warsaw, 24 March 2016 Historian Inside review Functional and Content Programme of the Main Exhibition. Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk, pp.75 The ‘Functional and Content Programme of the Main Exhibition of the Museum of the Second World War’ presented for review was developed in January 2016 by a group of known and valued historians led by the director of the institution, Prof. Paweł Machcewicz (seconded by dr hab. Rafał Wnuk, Prof. at KUL; dr hab Piotr M. Majewski, and dr Janusz Marszalec). Right in the Introduction, the authors unveil the main idea behind the exhibition and a certain tension which will accompany it. The tension, unnecessary as it seems to me in its specific version, builds around two contradictory goals set for the exhibition. One of them is bound to win anyway. The question is: which one should win? The authors write that most of all ‘it is the mission of the Second World War Museum in Gdańsk to create a modern facility telling the story of the war as the gravest cataclysm of the 20th century’. The argument given in support of the so construed sense and goal of the institution is the fact that there is no museum either in Europe or the world ‘which would show a comprehensive picture of the developments and nature of the conflict’. Only against that prime goal, the authors seem to admit, comes the second goal, namely ‘to show the world what the war-time experience of Poland’, and in the same sentence they add: ‘and other countries of Central and Eastern Europe was like, in many aspects different from and little known to the Western Europe and countries outside Europe’.
