  • "Witold Pilecki. Confronting the Legend of the "Volunteer to Auschwitz""
    Ewa Cuber-Strutyńska Witold Pilecki. Confronting the legend of the “volunteer to Auschwitz” Death had many opportunities to prematurely end the life of Witold Pilecki, who participated in the ight for independence during the war against the Bolsheviks and fought in World War II. Despite the risk he took, he managed to avoid death when he was at the front, when he found himself in the Auschwitz concentration camp and when he took part in the Warsaw Uprising. That it reached him in seemingly independent Poland and that it happened owing to, among others, his old brothers in arms should be considered a tragic paradox. Pilecki became a victim of the Communist regime, which brought death to him twice. The irst death, with a bullet in the back of his head, came on 25 May 1948; the second, symbolic one, involved killing the memory of Pilecki by censoring it for several dozen years. The memory of Pilecki was liberated and he was rehabilitated only after the fall of the regime that had brought death upon him. In the 1990s, we witnessed the publication of the irst biographies of Pilecki, which led to his return to the history of Poland and placed him in the pantheon of Poles who served their homeland to the greatest extent. Moreover, the past several years have shown a growing interest in Pilecki. His igure is now popularised by not only academic publications (which after all reach a rather small audience) but also various kinds of activities undertaken by state institutions, non-governmental organisations as well as football club fans.1 Among the increasing number of initiatives intended to honour Pilecki was even the idea to make an attempt at his beatiication.2 1 During a match between Śląsk Wrocław and Jagiellonia Białystok that took place on 3 May 2012, the supporters of Śląsk Wrocław prepared a setting including Pilecki’s portrait with a caption “Volunteer to Auschwitz” and the quote “Because compared with them Auschwitz was just a trile”.

  • Cabinda and Germany
    ABSTRACT Angola’s president João Lourenço is on an official visit to Germany from 22nd to 23rd August 2018. Since it is factual that Angola’s ruling MPLA-regime is but a proxy server of a few Western nations accountable for the belligerent occupation of the territory of Cabinda since 1975; for the misappropriation of the Cabinda people’s own means of subsistence; and for the consequent genocide of the native Cabindans at home and abroad; the Presidential College of CNM (Cabindan National Movement) cannot help referring once more the legal-political difference between Cabinda and Angola to both the German people’s and government’s sense of justice and of international responsibility. Ever since the mid-1990s, CNM has tirelessly demonstrated, also to the German “Auswärtiges Amt,” the fact that Western instigated illicit occupation of Cabinda by Angola is the major contributing factor to the political instability and insecurity in Central and Southern Africa, inasmuch as it cannot help frustrating the free functioning of democratic institutions in Cabinda’s neighboring countries. The harmful consequences of the occupation are such that life expectancy at birth has dropped from 75 years in Portuguese colonial era to 48 years nowadays; and child and maternal mortality rates are among the highest in the world. Cabinda, whose nationals do not exceed two million, is rich in oil, uranium, manganese, phosphates, iron, diamonds, gold, hardwood, and so forth. In oil alone, Cabinda is being CABINDA AND robbed of over 35 Billion US dollars per year. Accordingly, the goal of president Lourenço’s visit is to dissuade Germany from siding with the oppressed people of Cabinda, in our legitimate struggle to regain political and economic sovereignty, by offering lucrative business opportunities to German entrepreneurs and GERMANY bankers interested in.

Położenie gminy w malowniczej Małopolsce w pobliżu dużych aglomeracji Katowic i Krakowa daje możliwości dla rozwoju inwestycji i przedsiębiorczości. Zaś usytuowanie na terenie gminy tak licznych i pięknych stawów rybackich czyni ją atrakcyjną przyrodniczo i pozwala rozwijać rekreację na tym terenie. Gmina Oświęcim, naznaczona przez historię powstaniem w czasach okupacji niemieckiej obozu koncentracyjnego Auschwitz-Birkenau, stała się dziś ważnym centrum turystycznym znanym na całym świecie. Naszą Gminę tworzą mieszkańcy - ludzie zaangażowani społecznie, przekazujący z pokolenia na pokolenie dorobek kulturalny i artystyczny.

His proposal was carefully circumscribed. As he said later, it was to countering be "only in extreme necessity and under very rigid conditions."

    This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognize that its copyright rests with its author and that no quotation from the thesis and no information derived from it may be published without the author‘s prior consent. 1 2 Auschwitz: Art, Commemoration and Memorialisation: 1940 to the Present day by Stefan Ludwik Aloszko A thesis submitted to the University of Plymouth in partial fulfilment for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Humanities Faculty of Arts October 2011 3 4 STEFAN LUDWIK ALOSZKO AUSCHWITZ: ART, COMMEMORATION AND MEMORIALISATION: FROM 1940 TO THE PRESENT ABSTRACT This thesis explores chronologically the art, commemoration and memorialisation of the Nazi concentration and extermination camps at Auschwitz, from their establishment in 1940 to the present day. Following a review of the literature in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 examines the production of works of art by the inmates of the camp. That art should have been produced at all in Auschwitz may conflict with our expectations, given the conditions of life within the camp. Nevertheless, art was as necessary in Auschwitz as it is elsewhere. The present account of the making of art under such difficult circumstances attempts to make a significant addition to the established narratives of Auschwitz.
