His report became known as the Grojanowski Report. It was smuggled out of the Warsaw Ghetto via the Polish underground and reached London in June of 1942. It is not known exactly what happened to the report at that point but by February of 1942 the United States Office of War Information had decided not to release information about the extermination of Jews thinking that there was a risk of the public viewing the war as only being a Jewish problem. Thus the Grojanowski Report was not released. By at least October of 1942 British radio had broadcast news of the gassing of Jews to the Netherlands and in December 1942 the Western Allies released their Joint Declaration which is printed in the present publication describing and condemning in the strongest manner Hitler's violent attempts at exterminating the Jews of Europe. In 1942 Jan Karski 1914-2000 a Polish World War II resistance movement fighter and later professor at Georgetown University gave his first report to the Polish British and U.S. governments on what was going on in the German extermination camps in Poland.Karski reported to the Polish government in exile i.e. Raczynski who was the Ambassador and one of its most prominent leaders and the Western Allies on the situation in German-occupied Poland. Karski personally met with Franklin Roosevelt and British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden to explain what went on in Poland and Raczynski wrote up the report. Eventually the American Government confirmed the reports to Jewish leaders in late November 1942 and shortly thereafter they were publicized i.e. in the present publication. Karski's report through Raczynski became one of the most important reports in the history of the Holocaust being a major factor in informing the West.

Unica edizione di questo diario del viaggio che per nove mesi tra il 1698 e il 99 portò a Roma la regina di Polonia Maria Casimira, all’udienza con Innocenzo XII. Il cardinal Barberini, suo protettore a Roma, commissionò questo testo a Antonio Bassani, canonico di Padova, e lo stampò nella sua stamperia privata. Il viaggio della vedova di Giovanni Sobieski fu un vero e proprio pellegrinaggio reale ma anche il suo trasferimento a Roma. Di particolare interesse risultano le descrizioni dei banchetti, delle feste (a Venezia come a Bologna), della tappa alla Santa casa di Loreto, e in generale delle cerimonie e degli omaggi organizzati nelle varie città per l’ingresso della regina.

THE MASS EXTERMINATION OF JEWS IN GERMAN OCCUPIED POLAND: NOTE ADDRESSED TO THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE UNITED NATIONS ON DECEMBER 10TH 1942 AND OTHER DOCUMENTS

1943 · 43453 — London New York; Published on Behalf of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs by Hutchinson & Co 1943. 1st edition. Original illustrated red and white paper wrappers. 8vo. 16 pages. 22 cm. National Government Publication. Printed in red and black ink. Includes a note by Polish Foreign Minister Edward Raczynski and speeches by Deputy Prime Minister Stanislaw Mikolajczyk.<br> The official 16-page diplomatic publication from December 1942 by the Polish Government-in-Exile in London marking a turning point in international understanding of the Nazi destruction of the Jews of Europe. <br> Jan Karski a courier for the Polish Underground had smuggled microfilmed evidence and intelligence out of occupied Poland to London. This raw intelligence gathered from his time secretly inside the Warsaw Ghetto and the Izbica transit camp formed the core of the facts published in the booklet.<br> <br> "In October 1942 at the height of the destruction of Polish Jewry Jan Karski born Jan Kozielewski was ordered to clandestinely go to the West and deliver a report on the situation of occupied Poland to the Polish government-in-exile in London. The situation of the Jews in Poland was to be one section of that report. Since the government in exile was concerned with the internal politics of Poland's underground parties Karski held meetings with the different factions including the Jewish Zionist and the Jewish Socialist Bund movements. <br> Thus shortly before his departure Karski met with two Jewish leaders who asked him to inform the world's statesmen of the desperate plight of Polish Jewry and of the hopelessness of their situation. Their message was: 'Our entire people will be destroyed.'<br> The Jewish leaders' appeals touched Karski and he decided to see things with his own eyes in order to make his report. With great risk to his life he was smuggled into the Warsaw ghetto and into a camp in the Lublin area. The horrors he witnessed marked him deeply and propelled him to become not only the messenger of the Polish underground but to concentrate on giving voice to the suffering of the dying Jews.<br> In November 1942 Karski reached London delivered the report to the Polish government-in-exile and set out to meet Winston Churchill other politicians journalists and public figures. Upon completing his mission Karski went on to the United States where he met with President Roosevelt and other dignitaries and tried in vain to stir up public opinion against the massacre of the Jews. In 1944 while in the United States Karski wrote a book on the Polish Underground Story of a Secret State with a long chapter on the Jewish Holocaust in Poland.<br> After the war Karski stayed in the United States where he was later appointed Professor at Georgetown University Washington DC.<br> On 2 June 1982 Yad Vashem recognized Jan Karski as Righteous Among the Nations" Yad Vashem. <br> <br> Leading Holocaust scholar Lucy Dawidowicz cites the booklet in her now classic work "The Holocaust and the Historians" Harvard 1983 p. 167; the report could not be more explicit in its description of the horrors nor in its plea for help: <br> "The new methods of mass slaughter applied during the last few months confirm the fact that the German authorities aim with systematic deliberation at the total extermination of the Jewish population of Poland and of the many thousands of Jews whom the German authorities have departed to Poland from Western and Central European countries and from the German Reich itself. The Polish Government considers it their duty to bring to the knowledge of the Governments of all civilised countries the following fully authenticated information received from Poland during recent weeks which indicates all too plainly the new methods of extermination adopted by the German authorities." <br> The report elaborates: "The actual process of deportation was carried out with appalling brutality. At the appointed hour on each day the German police cordoned off a block of houses selected for clearance entered the back yard and fired their guns at random as a signal for all to leave their homes and assemble in the yard. Anyone attempting to escape or to hide was killed on the spot. No attempt was made by the Germans to keep families together. Wives were torn from their husbands and children from their parents. Those who appeared frail or infirm were carried straight to the Jewish cemetery to be killed and buried there. <br> On the average 50-100 people were disposed of in this way daily. After the contingent was assembled the people were packed forcibly into cattle trucks to the number of 120 in each truck which had room for forty. The trucks were then locked and sealed. The Jews were suffocating for lack of air. The floors of the trucks were covered with quicklime and chlorine. As far as is known the trains were dispatched to three localities - Treblinka Belzec and Sobibor to what the reports describe as 'Extermination camps.' <br> The very method of transport was deliberately calculated to cause the largest possible number of casualties among the condemned Jews. It is reported that on arrival in camp the survivors were stripped naked and killed by various means including poison gas and electrocution. The dead were interred in mass graves dug by machinery." <br> <br> Read more about the singular importance of this publication at <br> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mass_Extermination_of_Jews_in_German_Occupied_Poland# . <br> In 2020 Polish Postal authorities chose this very publication to illustrate their official first day cover honoring righteous Poles who had saved Jews during the Holocaust see illustration. <br> <br> Subjects: World War 1939-1945 - Jews - Poland.

La relazione del Barberini, poi, si presenta sotto forma di lettera al Conte di Nubarola il quale narra della Russia e dei paesi attraversati durante il viaggio. Importante testimonianza del rinato interesse per la Russia di questo periodo ribadito nell'Avvertimento al lettore, nel quale si danno delucidazioni sul paese e note relative all'etimologia di alcune parole.

16-5052 — LuneÌville: Chez Claude-François Messuy 1761 and 1762. Folio. 24.5 x 40.2 cm. Contemporary calf with gilt spine; covers rubbed. 6-188-2-136-XII-2pp. The "compte général" lacks the plan de Nancy and 3 plates of ferronnerie.Cohen 250; OCLC Number: 939437546: While in exile in Lorraine between 1737 and 1766 the Polish King Stanislaw I was granted the title of Duke of Lorraine and Bar and used his position to endow a number of buildings and monuments in Nancy where he had his seat. The designs for the new buildings which included orphanages schools hospitals churches libraries and a new Hote de Ville for Nancy were drawn up by Emmanuel HeÌreÌ who published many of them in his Recueil des plans elevations et coupes tant geometrales qu'en perspective des chateaux jardins et dependances que le Roy de Pologne occupe en Lorraine . 2 vols Paris 1750-1752. In 1753 a supplementary volume was published as Plans et elevations de la Place Royale de Nancy . Paris; q.v. in the Supplement. While HeÌreÌ drew up the plans and oversaw the building work the administration and finances of the King's building programme were overseen by Nicolas LeÌopold Michel 'Controlleur de la Maison du Roi' see page 1 of part 2. The second part of the present work is explicitly said to be a public statement of the accounts kept by Michel. The first part has also been attributed to Michel by QueÌ€rard Rau and France-Lanord see below and by most library catalogues see the Avery Cat. Berlin Kat. and the BM. Gen. Cat although UCBA attributes both parts to HeÌreÌ. Although no firm evidence has been advanced for Michel's authorship of the first part of the text it is highly likely that he was involved. The text describes the buildings not in architectural terms but by detailing their planning and approval by official bodies the specifications for their construction the contracts and estimates drawn up and the administration of the actual building work. In many cases the specifications given to HeÌreÌ and to others are reprinted in full. Thus the first volume is to some extent a collection of official documents relating to the buildings edited together for public presentation and it can be presumed that many of the texts were drawn up under Michel's supervision. It could also be argued that primary responsibility for this part of the work lay with the King himself who had ordered and defined the limits of the works; indeed he is referred to as the 'Auteur' on page 8 of the 'Discourse PreÌliminaire' although this use of the word is more of a homage to Stanislaw's patronage than an actual statement of responsibility for the text. The 'Discourse PreÌliminaire' lavishes much praise on the King for his generosity and public spirit and notes that 'notre Ouvrage est un nouveau preÌsent que le Roi fait aÌ€ ses Peuples' p.5. The King paid for the publication which is also described as 'donneÌ lieu aÌ€ un suppleÌment' presumably supplementing HeÌreÌ's own very different work describing the buildings. HeÌreÌ's book contains 63 large-scale engraved plates and was no doubt expensive and the present publication may have been seen at least in part as a way of producing a rather cheaper and more generally accessible advertisement for Stanislaw's good works. For further details of the buildings involved see Julia Rau Emmanuel HeÌreÌ: premier Architecte von Stanislas Leszczynski in Lothringen 1705-1763 Berlin: Mann 1973; and Albert France-Lanord Emmanuel HeÌreÌ: architecte du roi Stanislas Nancy: Presses Universitaires de Nancy 1984. Both of these books reproduce many of the etched illustrations from the present work. Rau attributes both parts to Michel in a note on page 36 but in her bibliography describes them quite wrongly as the second edition of HeÌreÌ's Recueil p.303. In France-Lanord's bibliography both parts are attributed to Michel although they are listed both separately and together.

[Torun (Polonia), s.n., 1697-1698], manoscritto su carta, in-4, legatura settecentesca in mezza pelle con punte (spellature diffuse) cc. 221 totali, non numerate (specifica dei vari titoli: cc. [74] ultime 5 bianche - [34] - cc. [60], ultime 2 bianche - [8], ultime 2 bianche - [10] - [6], ultima bianca - [8] - [5] - [16]). Steso in chiara grafia, da una sola mano, in lingue latina (in gran parte) e polacca. Interno in condizioni più che buone. Dell'estensore del manoscritto, Giovanni Francesco Pagnini che studiava a Torun nel 1697, non sappiamo nulla, se non che apparteneva ad un ramo della famiglia Pagnini originaria di Prato, che ebbe ramificazioni a Volterra, Lucca e, appunto, in Polonia. Ben più ampie le notizie disponibili sul suo professore, Raczynski, nato a Podlasie nel 1664, e che negli anni 1697-1708 insegnò retorica a Torun, Lublino e Poznan. La sua opera maggiore è l'"Historia naturalis curiosa regni Poloniae, magni ducatus Lituaniae annexarunque provinciarum" edita nel 1721, che, nonostante sia, in buona parte, una raccolta di descrizioni da varie fonti, costituisce una delle maggiori opere di storia naturale polacche del XVIII secolo. Morì nel 1737 a Danzica. Nel volume da noi presentato segnaliamo il secondo titolo che affronta argomenti intorno alla convivialità e alla gastronomia.

W Walce O Wolnosc / In Fight For Freedom / In Lotta Per La Libertà + three original Polish WW2 pictures, including a photograph of Marshal Jozef Pilsudski signed by himself

1945 · 517 — This is a set which belonged to Janusz Gluchowski, a high-ranking Polish military officer at the time of the WW2. The set contains three original B&W pictures. First one: undated postcard showing Marshal Jozef Pilsudski, signed by himself in black ink, 8.5 x 13.5 cm, with two embossed mentions above and below. Second picture: undated postcard showing Poland President Gabriel Narutowicz, with a written mention on the back. Third picture: 11 x 15.5 cm photograph. General Tadeusz Bór-Komorowski inspecting a British Cromwell tank, accompanied by Polish officers of the 3rd Armored Regiment (3 puk pancerny). The image was captured during an official ceremony in the city of Kelso, Scotland, in the immediate post-war period, on June 15, 1945. The scene shows the General in an observation position, climbing onto the tank while surrounded by Polish soldiers. The tank corresponds to a British model widely used by Polish forces in exile during the Western European campaign. On the reverse, the following handwritten inscriptions appear: VI 1945, Kelso. N. Wódz gen. Bór-Komorowski dokonuje inspekcji 3 p. panc. N.

Endpapers and first page show Janusz Gluchowski's stamp. In publisher's photographically illustrated wrappers. Each page contains a photographic image or a photomontage accompanied with a short text in three languages. Front cover shows some wear and tear, the binding is a bit loose - we would advise having this book bound. The Polish II Corps was a major tactical and operational unit recruited from Polish deportees in the Soviet Gulags in 1943. First they fought in the Middle East, and in 1944 February they were transferred to Italy and as independent part of the British Army to fight in the Italian campaign, in the battles of Monte Cassino and Ancona and also the Battle of Bologna during the final offensive in Italy in 1945. The book goes through the story of Poland and the later established Polish II Corps, starting with the German and Soviet occupation in 1939. It shows the deportation of Poles to forced labour to the Gulag and, after the Polish-Russian Military Agreement in 1941, the establishment of the Polish Army on Soviet soil, also their military training and their fights in various battles. Janusz Julian Gluchowski was a Major General in the Polish Army during the Second Polish Republic. He was born on August 6, 1888, in Bukowa. He fought in the Polish Legions in World War I, the Polish-Ukrainian War, the Polish-Soviet War, and the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany, Slovakia, and the Soviet Union in 1939, which culminated in the start of World War II. In his adolescence, he attended high school in Czstochowa. In 1905, he became a member of the Combat Organization of the Polish Socialist Party and was wounded in the hand during an attack near Czstochowa. To avoid arrest by the Russian authorities, he left for Belgium, where he studied at the University of Liège. He returned to divided Poland around 1910 and settled in Austrian Galicia. In 1912 he graduated from the Officers' School of the Riflemen's Association in Stroza, near Krakow. In the early hours of August 1914, he commanded a platoon in Oleandria and was Wadysaw Belina-Pramowski's representative during the legendary attack of the so-called Seven Lancers of Belina (Uaska siódemka). On August 6th, together with the First Cadre Company, he left Krakow and marched to Miechów. In October 1914 he was promoted to Lieutenant (Poruchik) and, in November 1916, to Rittmeister (Cavalry Master). Until 1917 he served in the First Uhlan Regiment of the Polish Legions. After the Oath Crisis (Kryzys przysigowy) he was interned first in Fort Beniaminów and later in Werl. Released in October 1918, he went to Lublin, where, in early November, he formed the Third Ulan Regiment (later renamed the Seventh Ulan Regiment of Lublin). Along with his unit, he fought in the Polish-Soviet War. On May 29, 1920, he was promoted to Polkovnik. He was transferred in July 1920 to Eastern Galicia, taking command of the First Cavalry Brigade, fighting against the Soviets in Galicia and Volhynia. After the war, he remained in this position until 1925, when he was transferred to the Fourth Cavalry Brigade. Promoted to Brigadier General on March 16, 1927. Appointed commander of the Center for Higher Military Studies on June 4, 1930, and three years later, after the death of General Stanislaw Tessaro, he was appointed commander of Military District X in Przemyl. In October 1935, he became Deputy Minister of Military Affairs. In the early days of the 1939 invasion of Poland, Gluchowski ordered General Walerian Czuma to prepare the defense of Warsaw. In mid-September 1939, he fled to Romania. After his escape, he managed to travel to the Middle East and, in January 1941, received orders to go to London. In October 1941, he was appointed Commander of the Training Brigade stationed in Scotland. On September 23, 1943, he was appointed commander of all Polish Army units stationed in Great Britain, except the First Independent Parachute Brigade, which remained under the authority of the Commander-in-Chief. He was promoted to Major General on June 1, 1945. He decided not to return to Soviet-occupied Poland and remained in Great Britain. He frequently criticized the Soviet regime and the Soviet occupation authorities in postwar Poland. Furthermore, he was one of the founders and president of the Jozef Pilsudski Institute in London. He was, therefore, an active member of the Polish community in Great Britain. He was president and honorary member of several Polish veterans' organizations. He died on June 11, 1964, in London, England.
