Civil War in Central Europe argues that Polish independence after the First World War was forged in the fires of the post-war conflicts which should be collectively referred to as the Central European Civil War (1918-1921). The ensuing violence forced those living in European border regions to decide on their national identity - German or Polish.
Three million Polish Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, wiping out nearly 98 percent of the Jewish population who had lived and thrived there for generations. Night Without End tells the stories of their resistance, suffering, and death in unflinching, horrific detail. Based on meticulous research from across Poland, it concludes that those who were responsible for so many deaths included a not insignificant number of Polish villagers and townspeople who aided the Germans in locating and slaughtering Jews. When these findings were first published in a Polish edition in 2018, a storm of protest and lawsuits erupted from Holocaust deniers and from people who claimed the research was falsified and smeared the national character of the Polish people. Night Without End, translated and published for the first time in English in association with Yad Vashem, presents the critical facts, significant findings, and the unmistakable evidence of Polish collaboration in the genocide of Jews.
The Year 1920. The year when the fate of the Nation was thrown in the balance - the year of the greatest Polish victory of the 20th Century over an external, ruthless enemy.

Poland alone stood in the way of Bolshevism. --
A new and definitive account of the German invasion of Poland that initiated WWII in 1939, written by a historian at the height of his abilities. 'Deeply researched, very well-written... This book will be the standard work on the subject for many years to come' - Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny The Polish campaign is the forgotten story of the Second World War. The war began on 1 September 1939, when German tanks, trucks and infantry crossed the Polish border, and the Luftwaffe began bombing Poland's towns and cities. The Polish army fought bravely but could not withstand the concentrated attack. When the Red Army invaded from the east, the country's fate was sealed...

Die nationale Identität ist eines der wichtigsten Merkmale unserer Gesellschaften. In den letzten Jahrhunderten, aber auch bereits davor entwickelten sich Identitäten verschiedener Gruppen, die sich nach unterschiedlichen Kriterien gestalteten (wie kulturellen und ethnischen Merkmalen). Seit Jahrtausenden haben Menschen nach solchen Kriterien Gruppen und Gemeinschaften gebildet und dadurch ihre Zugehörigkeit und Gruppenidentität ausgedrückt. In zwölf Beiträgen beschäftigen sich ArchäologInnen und HistorikerInnen der Nikolaus-Kopernikus-Universität Toruń mit der Frage nach der ethnischen, nationalen und vornationalen Gruppenidentität in ausgewählten Gebieten Polens und Mitteleuropas von der Vorgeschichte bis ins 20. Jahrhundert.
