World War I Aftermath Humanitarian Relief American Red Cross Poland Photo Album 1918 to 1920

1918184801918. American Red Cross Poland photo album Warsaw Operations 1918-1920 documents U.S. humanitarian operations in Eastern Europe following World War I recording relief work conducted during the Polish-Soviet War and the broader reconstruction of Polish civil and medical infrastructure. The images identify personnel locations and operational units associated with American Red Cross efforts as they provided transport medical care and material aid in a region destabilized by the collapse of empires and the reestablishment of an independent Polish state in 1918. A caption referencing "the Polish-Russian front ARC 1920 Poland" situates the album within active conflict conditions while additional annotations tied to supply trains and field units establish the material as a contemporaneous record of organized international relief. Photo album measuring approximately 8 x 11.5 inches with 34 photographs mounted across 11 leaves each image approximately 3 x 5 inches. The photographs depict American Red Cross personnel aboard trains and railway platforms including a documented ARC supply train as well as automobile units in transit or undergoing roadside repair captioned "American Red Cross cars 1918 Poland." Several images include handwritten annotations identifying subjects locations and squadron designations. One photograph shows a group of workers assembled on a makeshift structure with a caption identifying "Van Wert in charge of one of the relief trains" indicating named personnel connected to field operations. Produced during the initial phase of internationally coordinated humanitarian intervention in postwar Poland the album aligns with the 1919 recognition of the Polish Red Cross by the International Committee of the Red Cross which facilitated the transfer of hospitals medical trains and logistical infrastructure into Polish administration. The photographs document the integration of American aid within these systems including rail-based medical transport and mobile support units critical to relief distribution in contested and newly reorganized territories. Some photographs detached from leaves and a tear to the front cover; images and structure otherwise intact. Overall very good condition. unknown

World War II Polish Military History Photographs of Polish II Corps Soldiers During the Italian Campaign 1944 -1946

1944187231944. Polish Armed Forces soldiers serving with Allied forces during World War II documented in a group of photographs dating from 1945 to 1946 preserving visual evidence of the Polish II Corps and its role in the Italian Campaign. The Polish II Corps formed from Polish soldiers who had been released from Soviet imprisonment after the German invasion of the Soviet Union and were reorganized under Allied command receiving training in the Middle East before deployment to the Mediterranean theater. These troops participated in some of the most difficult operations of the Italian Campaign including the assault on German defensive positions at Monte Cassino in 1944 one of the decisive engagements that opened the road to Rome for Allied forces. The photographs record the presence of Polish soldiers in Italy during the final stages of the war and in the immediate aftermath of Allied victory. Photo archive consisting of 34 black and white silver gelatin photographs depicting members of the Polish Armed Forces serving with Allied units in Italy and surrounding regions during and immediately after the war. The photographs include individual portraits and group images of soldiers in uniform along with scenes of soldiers posed in front of prominent Roman landmarks such as St. Peter's Basilica the Colosseum and the Giuseppe Garibaldi monument. Several photographs show large groups of soldiers assembled near military vehicles and supply trucks while others depict soldiers aboard ships likely involved in transport within the Mediterranean theater. Many photographs carry inscriptions on the verso written in Polish including references to "Włochy" the Polish word for Italy confirming the location of the photographs. Some images show soldiers standing among palm trees suggesting photographs taken during the earlier phase of the corps' movement through the Middle East before deployment to Italy. By the end of the war the Polish forces serving alongside Allied armies had expanded significantly and the soldiers photographed here belonged to a formation that grew to more than 100000 personnel. After the war many Polish soldiers faced uncertain futures as their homeland fell within the Soviet sphere of influence following the war's conclusion. Photographs documenting Polish soldiers in the Italian theater therefore preserve visual records of a military force composed largely of displaced individuals who continued fighting under Allied command despite the political upheaval affecting their country. Thirty four silver gelatin photographs measuring approximately 2.5 x 3.5 inches to 5.5 x 3.5 inches. Minor edge wear present; overall condition very good. unknown

The SOHO Mission

199586057Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers 1995. First edition and first printing thus. Reprinted from Solar Physics Volume 162 Nos. 1-2 1995. Hardcover. Very good. xii 531 1 pages. Illustrations some in color. Formulae. References. No dust jacket present. Illustrated front cover. The SOHO Solar and Heliospheric Observatory was a project of international cooperation between ESA and NASA to study the Sun from its deep core to the outer corona and the solar wind. To achieve its scientific goals it carried a complement of twelve sophisticated state-of-the-art instruments. Three helioseismology instruments were expected to provide unique data for the study of the structure and dynamics of the solar interior from the very deep core to the outermost layers of the convection zone. A set of five complementary remote sensing instruments consisting of EUV and UV imagers spectrographs and coronagraphs were intended to give the first comprehensive view of the outer solar atmosphere and corona leading to a better understanding of the enigmatic coronal heating and solar wind acceleration processes. Finally three experiments were to complement the remote sensing observations by making in-situ measurement of the composition and energy of the solar wind and charged energetic particles. This volume contains detailed descriptions of all the twelve instruments on board SOHO. Also included are an overview paper and a description of the SOHO ground system science operations and data products. The aim of these papers was to make the broader scientific community and in particular potential guest investigators aware of the scientific objectives and capability of the SOHO payload and to provide a reference document for the various instruments. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory SOHO is a European Space Agency ESA spacecraft built by a European industrial consortium led by Matra Marconi Space now Airbus Defence and Space that was launched on a Lockheed Martin Atlas IIAS launch vehicle on 2 December 1995 to study the Sun. It has also discovered over 4000 comets. It began normal operations in May 1996. It is a joint project between the European Space Agency ESA and NASA. SOHO was part of the International Solar Terrestrial Physics Program ISTP. Originally planned as a two-year mission SOHO continues to operate after over 25 years in space; the mission has been extended until the end of 2025 subject to review and confirmation by ESA's Science Programme Committee. In addition to its scientific mission it is a main source of near-real-time solar data for space weather prediction. Along with Wind Advanced Composition Explorer ACE and Deep Space Climate Observatory DSCOVR SOHO is one of four spacecraft in the vicinity of the Earth–Sun L1 point a point of gravitational balance located approximately 0.99 astronomical unit AU from the Sun and 0.01 AU from the Earth. In addition to its scientific contributions SOHO is distinguished by being the first three-axis-stabilized spacecraft to use its reaction wheels as a kind of virtual gyroscope; the technique was adopted after an on-board emergency in 1998 that nearly resulted in the loss of the spacecraft. The three main scientific objectives of SOHO are: Investigation of the outer layer of the Sun which consists of the chromosphere transition region and the corona. The instruments CDS EIT LASCO SUMER SWAN and UVCS are used for this solar atmosphere remote sensing; Making observations of solar wind and associated phenomena in the vicinity of L1. CELIAS and COSTEP are used for "in situ" solar wind observations and Probing the interior structure of the Sun. GOLF MDI and VIRGO are used for helioseismology. Kluwer Academic Publishers hardcover

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

194343453London 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. 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. 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. "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. 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.' 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. 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. After the war Karski stayed in the United States where he was later appointed Professor at Georgetown University Washington DC. On 2 June 1982 Yad Vashem recognized Jan Karski as Righteous Among the Nations" Yad Vashem. 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: "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." 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. 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.' 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."

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. - INFORMING THE WEST OF THE HOLOCAUST

194360436London New York Melbourne printed in Great Britain Published on behalf of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs 1943. 8vo. Stapled as issued. Title-page printed in red. Stapels with rust slightly affecting surrounding paper. A very fine near mint copy. 16 pp. The scarce first printing of this hugely important publication which constitutes one of the very first official reports on Holocaust and one of the most accurate accounts that had been presented to the West changing their knowledge of what was actually going on. This seminal pamphlet consists of 1 Raczynski's account of the ongoing Holocaust based among other reports on the eye-witness-report by Jan Karski a Polish Government emissary in occupied Poland who bribed his way into a German concentration camp and witnessed the mass extermination of Jews 2 the seminal "Joint Declaration" by members of the United Nations in which "The above-mentioned Govenments and the French National Committee condemn in the strongest possible terms this bestial policy of cold-blooded extermination. They declare that such events can only strengthen the resolve of all free-loving peoples to overthrow the barbarous Hitlerite tyranny. They reaffirm their solems resolution to ensure that those responsible for these crimes shall not escape retribution and to press on with the necessary practical measures to this end." p. 12 3 an extract of Deputy Prime Minister Mikolajczy's statement on behalf of the Polish Government and 4 the text of Raczynski's broadcast of December 1942 in which pleaded for action wishing to make the public and the Allied nations "understand how real is the tragedy which is taking place not so very far from the shores of this island on the continet of Europe - on the soil of Poland. For more than three years the Germans have consistently done everything they could to hide from the eyes of the world the martyrdom of the Polish nation the like of which has never been known in the history of humanity. But "when we would keep silence the very stones will cry out"." p. 15.While the details were neither complete nor wholly accurate the Allies were aware of most of what the Germans had done to the Jews at a relatively early date. The mass murder of the Jews was of such dimensions however that at first they could not believe the reports that reached them. This quickly changed though.In February of 1942 Jacob Grojanowski an escaped prisoner of the Chelmno extermination camp provided the Oneg Shabbat group with detailed information about what went on at the Chelmno camp. 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. It sparked one of the first official publications from the Allies on the mass extermination of Jews in Poland and resulted in the official reports and condemnations from the Allied countries i.e. the "Joint Declaration" also published here."The purpose of this publication is to make public the contents of the Note of December 10th 1942 addresses by the Polish Government to the Governments of the United Nations concerning the mass extermination of Jews in the Polish territories occupied by Germany and also other documents treating on the same subject. . In the hope that the civilized worlds will draw the appropriate conclusions the Polish Government desire to bring to the notice of the public by means of the present White Paper these renewed German efforts at mass extermination with the employment of fresh horrifying methods." From the Introductory Note p. 3."Most recent reports present a horrifying picture of the position to which the Jews in Poland have been reduced. The new methods of mass slaughter applied during the last few months confirm the fact that the German autorities aim with systematic deliberation at the total extermination of the Jewsih population of Poland and of the many thousands of Jews whom the German authorities have deported to Poland from Western and Central European countries and from the German Reich itself.The Polish Government consider it their duty to bring to the knowledge of the governments of all civilized countries the following fully authentical information received from Poland during recent weeks which indicates all too plainly the new methods of extermination adopted by the German authorities." p. 4. unknown
