The Grasinski Girls

Zwischen Diktatur und Neubeginn
Der Nationalsozialismus hat die deutschen Universitäten nach 1933 genauso vehement erfasst wie alle anderen Bereiche des gesellschaftliche und kulturellen Lebens und sie gezwungen, sich den neuen Verhältnissen unter der braunen Diktatur anzupassen. Wie die Universität Bonn, die im katholisch geprägten Westen bis dahin keine starken nationalsozialistischen Strömungen zu verzeichnen hatte, damit umging und wie die einzelnen Fächer auf die Veränderungen reagierten, wird in diesem Band dargestellt. Der Blick auf die Auswirkungen des Nationalsozialismus bleibt jedoch nicht beim Untergang des »Dritten Reiches« stehen, sondern er geht über die angebliche »Stunde Null« hinaus in die ersten Jahre des Wiederaufbaus nach 1945. Der Band vereinigt neben grundsätzlichen Beiträgen Studien über die beiden theologischen, die medizinische und die juristische Fakultät sowie über einzelne Fächer der Philosophischen Fakultät.
The Polish Hearst
Arriving in the U.S. in 1883, Antoni A. Paryski climbed from typesetter to newspaper publisher in Toledo, Ohio. His weekly Ameryka-Echo became a defining publication in the international Polish diaspora and its much-read letters section a public sphere for immigrants to come together as a community to discuss issues in their own language. Anna D. Jaroszyńska-Kirchmann mines seven decades' worth of thoughts expressed by Ameryka-Echo readers to chronicle the ethnic press's role in the immigrant experience. Open and unedited debate harkened back to homegrown journalistic traditions, and Jaroszyńska-Kirchmann opens up the nuances of an editorial philosophy that cultivated readers as content creators. As she shows, ethnic publications in the process forged immigrant social networks and pushed notions of education and self-improvement throughout Polonia. Paryski, meanwhile, built a publishing empire that earned him the nickname ""The Polish Hearst."" Detailed and incisive, The Polish Hearst opens the door on the long-overlooked world of ethnic publishing and the amazing life of one of its towering figures.
The Exile Mission
Considering the two distinct Polish immigrant groups after World War II - the Polish-American descendants of pre-war ecomomic migrants and polish refugees fleeing communism - this study explores the uneasy challenge to reconcile concepts of responsibility toward their homeland.

Unvanquished
The epic story of Joseph Pilsudski, the father of Polish independence. Although he is largely either unknown or misunderstood in the West, Pilsudski was a consequential historical figure whose defeat of the Red Army in 1920 preserved Poland's sovereignty and quite possibly spared Europe from Bolshevik revolution. This account of Pilsudski's life places this and other achievements in the proper context by providing sufficient background in Polish history and illuminating his interconnectedness with more well known historical events.
Polish Immigrants and Industrial Chicago
Chronicles the experiences of immigrants in two iconic South Side Polish neighborhoods in Chicago to demonstrate how Poles created new communities in an attempt to preserve the customs of their homeland.

Dutch Immigrant Women in the United States, 1880-1920
"Examining the domain of the home as well as the related realms of education, religion, health care, and worldview, Sinke discerns women's contributions to the creation and adaptation of families and communities, pointing out how they differed from those of men. Through Sinke's articulate and captivating descriptions of real women, the statistical evidence comes to life, providing valuable and heretofore unexamined views on the international marriage market, language shifts, the acquisition of American customs, the church's role in adaptation, and the shifting economies that allowed women to work outside the home. A parallel analysis of the United States and the Netherlands as developing welfare states provides a fascinating look at what Dutch immigrant women left behind compared to what they faced in America regarding health care, education, and quality-of-life issues."--BOOK JACKET.
