Based on interviews with Poles, Jews, and Ukrainians who lived in the small eastern Polish town of Brzezany before, during, and after World War II, together with extensive research into the historical record and his own childhood memories, historian Shimon Redlich reconstructs the changing relationships among Brzezany's three ethnic groups. The book details the history of Brzezany from the pre-war decades when members of the three communities remember living relatively amicably "together and apart" when Brzezany was part of independent Poland, through the tensions of Soviet rule from 1939 to 1941 and the trauma of the Nazi occupation from 1941 to 1944, to the recapture of the town by the Red Army in 1945. Each chronological chapter is introduced by Redlich's recollections, continues with an examination of the events as documented in local sources, and concludes with the observations of his interviewees. Historical and contemporary photographs of Brzezany and its inhabitants add immediacy to this fascinating excursion into history brought to life by those who lived through it, showing how events are remembered and interpreted often in very different ways.
This book presents the latest trends and challenges in the development of general engineering and mechanical engineering in the agriculture and horticulture sectors.
This book reports on topics at the interface between mechanical and materials engineering, emphasizing aspects related to design, simulation, and manufacturing. It covers advanced methods in design engineering, applied to mechatronic systems, industrial equipment, turbines and drives. It reports on methods for improving the separation and prilling processes. It covers cutting-edge theoretical and experimental findings relating to material behavior, and materials, composites and coatings design. Further, it reports on advanced material treatments such as chemical-thermocycling, plasma deposition, and mechanical strengthening processes, among others. Based on the 6th International Conference on Design, Simulation, Manufacturing: The Innovation Exchange (DSMIE-2023), held on June 6–9, 2023, in High Tatras, Slovak Republic, this second volume of a 2-volume set provides academics and professionals with extensive information on trends and technologies, and challenges and practice-oriented experience in all the above-mentioned areas.
This book contributes to a better understanding of why historic cities and sacred sites are important, and how cultural roots may influence and improve urban futures. It emphasises the need to include social and cultural dimensions in economic development and offers cases of best practice.
