CONTAINER LIST 1. BIULETYN INFORMACYJNY Służba Zwycięstwu Polski – Związek Walki Zbrojnej – Armia Krajowa, Warszawa, Kraków [po Powstaniu Warszawskim], XI 1939 – I 1945, tygodnik, dziennik, red. Aleksander Kamiński. Flagowe i najpopularniejsze pismo Polskiego Państwa Podziemnego, jedno z sześciu ‐ obok „WIADOMOŚCI POLSKICH”, ”AGENCJI PRASOWEJ”, „SPRAW POLSKICH”, „DZIENNIKA RADIOWEGO” oraz „GŁOSU OJCZYZNY” – głównych organów prasowo‐informacyjnych AK; inicjatorem, twórcą pisma i jego wieloletnim redaktorem naczelnym, wywierającym decydujący wpływ na jego oblicze polityczne był Aleksander Kamiński „Kaźmierczak”, „Hubert”. Wkrótce po zakończeniu Kampanii Wrześniowej Kamiński skontaktował się z komendantem okręgu SZP Warszawa ‐ Miasto, od którego otrzymał pieniądze na założenie nowego wydawnictwa. W dniu 5 listopada 1939 ukazał się pierwszy numer pisma w nakładzie 90 powielanych egzemplarzy, do lata następnego roku nakład wzrósł do ok. 500 egzemplarzy. W literaturze przedmiotu spotyka się pogląd, że w pierwszym roku działalności pismo nie było przeznaczone do masowego – jak miało być później ‐ kolportażu. Świadczyć mają o tym redakcyjne adnotacje (nagłówki) o treści tj.: Egzemplarz zniszcz osobiście czy Z naciskiem http://collections.ushmm.org http://collections.ushmm.org Contact [email protected] for further information about this collection podkreślamy: Biuletynu nie wolno puszczać w kurs po mieście. Odbiorca ma jedynie prawo w swojej obecności dawać Biul[etyn] do przejrzenia osobom zaufanym. Niszczyć Biul[etyn] musi odbiorca osobiście. Uważa się, że przyczyną zamieszczania takich notek była słabość podziemia w tym czasie. Tajna prasa była dowodem obciążającym, zaś formująca się dopiero organizacja nie mogła pozwolić sobie na straty. Jesienią (październik‐ grudzień) 1940 redakcja pisma przeniesiona została do struktur wydawniczych Komendy Głównej AK (Biuro Informacji i Propagandy – BIP KG AK), których stał się częścią – od tej chwili był drukowany. Pismo redagowali Kamiński, Stanisław Berezowski „Zarzycki”, Kazimierz Wagner „Kazimierz”, Maria Straszewska „Marysia” – jako sekretarz redakcji, Czesław Michalski „Jankowski”, Antoni Szymanowski „Brun”, Witold Lula „Żakowski” i in. Do głównych źródeł informacji należały materiały z nasłuchu radiowego BIP KG AK i własnego, wiadomości z prasy niemieckiej i czasami alianckiej, tzw. materiały specjalne otrzymywane z BIP oraz materiały przygotowywane przez Wydział Informacji BIP, także pochodzące od sieci własnych informatorów w instytucjach okupanta i poszczególnych dzielnicach warszawskich ( z getta do Jerzego Grasberga). Posługiwano się także informacjami z innych pism konspiracyjnych. „Biuletyn Informacyjny” od jesieni 1940 był pismem informacyjno‐propagandowym, przeznaczonym dola szerokiej rzeszy odbiorców. Jednocześnie był wzorem i wydawnictwem agencyjnym dla wszystkich pism terenowych AK. Miały one czerpać stąd tematy do artykułów wstępnych (przedrukowując je in extenso), lub podając w postaci zmienionej przynajmniej z zachowaniem myśli przewodniej tekstu), ocenę spraw polskich na forum międzynarodowym i ocenę wydarzeń w kraju. Pismo podlegało cenzurze prewencyjnej BIP KG AK – początkowo (dość długo) tylko artykuły wstępne i ważniejsze politycznie teksty wewnątrz numeru omawiane były na zebraniach szefów wydziałów BIP KG, od pierwszego półrocza cały numer biuletynu przed oddaniem do składu był kontrolowany osobiście przez zastępcę szefa BIP i zarazem szefa Wydziału Propagandy Bieżącej, Tadeusza Wardejn‐Zagórskiego. Pismo było drukowane w nakładzie 24 tys. egzemplarzy (1942), 43 tys. egzemplarzy (1943‐1944) i kolportowane na terenie całego kraju. Łącznie ukazało się – wraz z numerami powstańczymi i popowstaniowymi

ISBN 978-83-932380-8-8 Foreword In 1939, the Republic of Poland was attacked by Germany (supported by Slovakia) and the Soviet Union. Although France and the UK declared war on Germany, they did not pursue any activities to provide their Polish ally with any real assistance. Despite its total defeat and its entire territory being occupied, Poland did not surrender. Escaping to France and then to the UK, the authorities of the Republic of Poland demonstrated legalism and maintained the continuity of the Polish state. Poland as a state continued to be an actor of international law, and within the Allied bloc, it was the legal representative of all the citizens of the Republic of Poland – regardless of their nationality, religion or political views.

  • Eastern Europe, Literature, Postimperial Difference
    Form and Instability 8flashpoints The FlashPoints series is devoted to books that consider literature beyond strictly national and disciplinary frameworks, and that are distinguished both by their historical grounding and by their theoretical and conceptual strength. Our books engage theory without losing touch with history and work historically without falling into uncritical positivism. FlashPoints aims for a broad audience within the humanities and the social sciences concerned with moments of cultural emergence and transformation. In a Benjaminian mode, FlashPoints is interested in how literature contributes to forming new constellations of culture and history and in how such formations function critically and politically in the present. Series titles are available online at http://escholarship.org/uc/flashpoints. series editors: Ali Behdad (Comparative Literature and English, UCLA), Founding Editor; Judith Butler (Rhetoric and Comparative Literature, UC Berkeley), Founding Editor; Michelle Clayton (Hispanic Studies and Comparative Literature, Brown University); Edward Dimendberg (Film and Media Studies, Visual Studies, and European Languages and Studies, UC Irvine), Coordinator; Catherine Gallagher (English, UC Berkeley), Founding Editor; Nouri Gana (Comparative Literature and Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, UCLA); Susan Gillman (Literature, UC Santa Cruz); Jody Greene (Literature, UC Santa Cruz); Richard Terdiman (Literature, UC Santa Cruz) A complete list of titles is on page 222.

  • Online Conflict Discourse, Identity, and the Social Imagination of Silesian Minority in Poland by Krzysztof E
    Online Conflict Discourse, Identity, and the Social Imagination of Silesian Minority in Poland By Krzysztof E. Borowski © 2020 Krzysztof E. Borowski M.A., University of Wrocław, 2011 B.A., University of Wrocław, 2009 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Slavic Languages and Literatures and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-Chair: Marc L. Greenberg Co-Chair: Renee Perelmutter Svetlana Vassileva-Karagyozova Arienne Dwyer Nathan Wood Date Defended: 29 April 2020 ii The dissertation committee for Krzysztof E. Borowski certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Online Conflict Discourse, Identity, and the Social Imagination of Silesian Minority in Poland Co-Chair: Marc L. Greenberg Co-Chair: Renee Perelmutter Date Approved: 29 April 2020 iii Abstract The second decade of the twenty-first century has been that of digital nationalism. In particular, the 2016 United States presidential elections and Brexit vote in the United Kingdom have shown that the increased use of social media has raised popular nationalism (Whitmeyer 2002) to a whole new level. While Europe and other parts of the world have visibly become more globalized, the Northern Atlantic region has witnessed a contradictory tendency for the rise and spread of nationalist sentiment. Much of this phenomenon has been taking place on the internet where conditions of apparent anonymity created a fertile ground for uninhibited identity expressions and performances. From the United States to Poland, people have retreated to their stable, national identities as a way of coping with the various facets of liquid modernity, in which the need for networking pushes individuals to engage in community building by bonding with other individuals through shared emotions (Bauman 2006, 37).

  • Regions of Memory - Abstracts
    REGIONS OF MEMORY - ABSTRACTS AS STATED FOR NOVEMBER 14TH 2012 MAPPING MEMORY REGIONS HOW MANY EUROPEAN MEMORY REGIONS? MAPPING EU MEMORIES PHILIPPE PERCHOC After the World War Two, Western Europe seemed to be divided into more than two memory regions: defeated axe powers and victorious allied powers (with France somewhere in the middle). The dominant narrative on the victory over Nazi Germany in Europe resulted into the temporary disappearance of specific memories coming from Western countries, which had a very different experience in the World War Two. Spain and Portugal, Turkey, Ireland and other neutral countries are some of them. As shown by Tony Judt, these former memory boundaries were subsumed by the narrative of European integration and its French / German nexus. Still, since the 2004 enlargement of the European Union, these memory issues (ie. Spain Civil War, Irish volunteers in the British army) and the addition of the Eastern European memory of the World War Two resulted into the emergence of “memory politics” inside the EU institutions, especially the European Parliament. Nonetheless, the European Parliament created a Day of Remembrance of victims from both totalitarian regimes (23rd of August) and it issued a declaration over the European consciousness, but it continued to discuss over memory issues at European borders: the Armenian genocide or the Holodomor in Ukraine. The aim of my paper is to discuss the geographical scope of the memory debates inside the European Parliament since 2004: new issues inside the EU borders (Spain Civil War, new debate over two totalitarian regimes) and outside EU borders (Turkey, Ukraine).

    Poland First to Fight Poland First to Fight Bogusław Kopka, Paweł Kosiński Muzeum ii Wojny Światowej Gdańsk 2018 Poland was the first country to firmly resist the brutal expansion of the totalitarian powers that were utterly indifferent to the rights of weaker countries. Poland’s armed resistance to German aggression on September 1, 1939, was a turning point in world politics towards the Third Reich.

  • The Jewish Victims of Armed Violence in Podhale (1945–1947)

A small number of survivors returned to the town in 1945 in an attempt to rebuild there their Jewish way of life. In a short time, a number of them were killed. What I had found researching the circumstances of their deaths enabled me to grasp the actual scope of anti-Jewish violence in Podhale between 1945 and 1947 – a time when the region witnessed a major escalation of the ight – launched by the communist authorities – against members of the partisan unit ‘Błyskawica’ led by Józef Kuraś, nom de guerre ‘Ogień’. The most striking element of my indings was the way in which the Jewish victims of those violent acts were referred to: they remained anonymous and were described in mass terms. Their deaths were, and still are, rationalised with the stereotype of ‘Judaeo-Communism’.1 In my paper, I wish to challenge this approach by focusing 1 The article “Kto walczy z ‘Ogniem’” by Andrzej Gwiazda is a typical example of such thinking (www.niezalezna.pl, access 15 April 2015).

    13 The Use of Polish Musical Tradition1 in the Nazi Propaganda Katarzyna Naliwajek-Mazurek Dedicated to the memory of Stanisław Mikke (1947–2010), victim of the Smoleńsk plane crash, eminent lawyer, writer and music lover, who knew how to revive the memory of the forgotten Policies applied by the Nazi authorities in occupied Poland since Septem- ber 1939 were directed against Polish culture, which embodied for them one of inimical targets designed to be destroyed in the Generalplan Ost,themost extreme fulfillment of Hitler’s Lebensraum concept and the Drang nach Os- ten ideology. Secretly prepared in 1939–1941 by the SS organ Reich Security Office (Reichssicherheitshauptamt, RSHA) and preceded by the Ostforschung, detailed academic research, this plan detailed extermination, enslavement, Germanization or expulsion of Slavic nations, in order to Germanize the con- quered territories thoroughly and to ensure that nationalities living there would eventually vanish completely, just as Poland as a state evaporated from the maps through its division into the General Government and the 2 areas annexed to the USSR or to the Third Reich. 1 A slightly altered version of this article was presented at the conference ‘Twentieth Century Music and Politics’, organized by the Department of Music at the University of Bristol, 14–16 April 2010. I would like to extend my thanks to Professor Sławomira Żerańska-Kominek, who encouraged me to write an article on this topic. Special thanks to Andrea Bohlman for having kindly edited this text and provided the English-German translations and to Iwona Lindstedt for her patience and help in the process of copy-editing of the article.

THE WAR AND THE GERMAN RACIAL RESEARCH IN THE ACCOUNTS OF THE PODHALE INHABITANTS The series of records entitled “Sektion Rassen- und Volkstumsforschung IDO”, held for over half a century in the archival resources of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C., was cleaned up and described for the first time in greater detail by Gretchen Schafft, and it unveiled an unprecedented page in the Nazi occupation history of many communities in the General- gouvernement (Schafft 2006). I recall the first meeting at the Institute of -Eth nology and Cultural Anthropology of the Jagiellonian University with Prof. Krzysztof Stopka, then the director of the Jagiellonian University Archives, who as a representative of the Polish side involved in the process of restitu- tion of the IDO materials, gave an account of his visit to the Smithsonian Institution. He talked about the German collection and the documents it contains: photographs, questionnaires, surveys from racial, medical and sociological examinations, psychological tests, reports from ethnicity studies research, ethnographic data, as well as fingerprints and hair samples placed in envelopes. It sounded like an unbelievable story – traces and remnants of human lives, a shocking and at the same time fascinating material. For me, a person from Podhale, the most intriguing were the archives concern- ing this region. At the same time, it was also interesting to ask: How has it happened that during all the years since the end of World War II, the topic of the German research project, which involved more than two thousand people and produced about 22 thousand documents, had remained hidden 226 Stanisława Trebunia-Staszel in the corners of human memory, cast outside the framework of social aware- ness?19 “I don’t know why we didn’t talk about it.
