Catholics on the Barricades
In Poland in the 1940s and '50s, a new kind of Catholic intended to remake European social and political life--not with guns, but French philosophy This collective intellectual biography examines generations of deeply religious thinkers whose faith drove them into public life, including Karol Wojtyła, future Pope John Paul II, and Tadeusz Mazowiecki, the future prime minister who would dismantle Poland's Communist regime. Seeking to change the way we understand the Catholic Church, World War II, the Cold War, and communism, this study centers on the idea of "revolution." It examines two crucial countries, France and Poland, while challenging conventional wisdom among historians and introducing innovations in periodization, geography, and methodology. Why has much of Eastern Europe gone back down the road of exclusionary nationalism and religious prejudice since the end of the Cold War? Piotr H. Kosicki helps to understand the crises of contemporary Europe by examining the intellectual world of Roman Catholicism in Poland and France between the Church's declaration of war on socialism in 1891 and the demise of Stalinism in 1956.
Secret City
Poles, Germans, and the Jews themselves were largely unaware, they formed what can aptly be called a secret city. Paulsson challenges many established assumptions. He shows that despite appalling difficulties and dangers, many of these Jews survived; that the much-reviled German, Polish, and Jewish policemen, as well as Jewish converts and their families, were key in helping Jews escape; that though many more Poles helped than harmed the Jews, most stayed neutral; and that escape and hiding happened
Commemorating the Children of World War II in Poland
This book explores contemporary debates surrounding Poland’s 'war children', that is the young victims, participants and survivors of the Second World War. It focuses on the period after 2001, which saw the emergence of the two main political parties that were to dictate the tone of the politics of memory for more than a decade. The book shows that 2001 marked a caesura in Poland’s post-Communist history, as this was when the past took center stage in Polish political life. It argues that during this period a distinct culture of commemoration emerged in Poland – one that was not only governed by what the electorate wanted to hear and see, but also fueled by emotions.

Z tymi co zostali...
Książka nie jest historią Związku Harcerstwa Polskiego poza granicami Kraju ani powojenną historią harcerstwa krajowego. Ma za zadanie ukazać słabo zbadany i szerzej nieznany problem relacji tych struktur i organizacji na tle ich ówczesnych dziejów. Ponieważ jednak rozeznanie i stan badań na temat krajowego harcerstwa są już znaczące, to w pracy tej główny nurt ustaleń badawczych dąży w kierunku spraw związanych z ZHPpgK. Przyjęta w ten sposób perspektywa i założenia powodują, że prezentowane tu ustalenia tworzą wybrany obraz dziejów tej organizacji i są zaledwie elementem większej całości.
Die deutsch-polnische Beziehungsgeschichte im Fokus der Erwachsenenbildung
In diesem Buch wird ein historiographischer Blick auf die Geschichte der deutsch-polnischen Beziehungen geworfen. Vor dem Hintergrund gegenseitig bereichernder kultureller und wirtschaftlicher Einflüsse und teils schwerer Konflikte, allen voran der Zweite Weltkrieg, haben unterschiedliche Erfahrungen, Wahrnehmungen und geschichtliche Deutungen ungleiche Erinnerungen und "Geschichtsbilder" in Polen und Deutschland hinterlassen. Diese Unterschiede in der Erinnerungskultur belasten das deutsch-polnische Verhältnis bis heute. Anhand eines erinnerungskulturanalytischen Bildungsansatzes der historisch-politischen Erwachsenenbildung zeigt die Autorin handlungssinnorientierte "paradigmatische Orientierungen" für die dialogische reflexive Erinnerungskulturarbeit in unterschiedlichen Lernräumen auf. Dabei findet auch die europäische Perspektive Berücksichtigung.
