Placówki wychowania pozaszkolnego w Tarnowie

The article raises the issue of organising children’s and young people’s free time from school activities. This problem seems important and current especially at the present time, when parents most of the day spend at work. The issue of children and families at risk of wider social pathology can also not be ignored. The extracurricular education institutions play a significant role in awakening and developing the interests of young people in various fields of science, culture, art and sport. Young people attending the classes are discovering that free time does not only mean unproductive sitting at home watching TV or playing on the computer, but the time, in which they can develop their interests in productive and pleasant way, improve their skills in a specific field of science or art, gain new experiences, meet valuable people and pursue their passions and dreams. The study recalled the rich history of after-school education in Europe and Poland and the modern educational achievements. In general, the types of Polish institutions pursuing a number of educational and welfare tasks in the scope of extracurricular education has been presented. Also the article presented the forms of organising children’s and young people’s free time in the city of Tarnow.

Przygody z cenzurą polskiej uchodźczej społeczności na Węgrzech (1939–1945)

Censorship games among the Polish emigre community in Hungary in the years 1939–1945 (Summary) Civilian and military emigres of the wartime period who had come to Hungarywhen the Polish-Hungarian border had been temporarily open (17–28 Sept. 1939)had a relatively rich artistic and cultural life. Thanks to the Hungarian authorities, the Polish emigres even formed their own institutions. As a result, some kind ofpress was started and approximately 60 newspapers and magazines were in circulation. What is more, 300 different books and brochures were duplicated in 13 publishing houses. In Budapest, the Polish Institute (Instytut Polski) and Polish Club (Świetlica Polska), among others, organized several dozen public cultural performances. Polish publications and books were controlled by the Press Department ofthe Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This censorship function was held by Istvan Meszaros (1891–1964), who later became a famous translator of the Polishliterature. After the Nazis entered Hungary in March 1944 he was substituted by Sandor Vajlok. Meszaros was always pro-Polish: he never questioned or refused any Polish publication, was secretly helping the Polish emigres. However, he was unable to oppose the intervention of the Embassy of the Third Reich in Budapest which temporarily stopped the publication of the leading emigre periodical „Wieści Polskie” („Polish News”) from the 12 May to the 3 June 1941. The reason of it was a quotation from Churchill’s speech allegedly offensive to the German nation. Among public performances which had serious problems with the official Hungarian authorities, two of them must be mentioned. The first was a guest performanceby an emigre puppet theatre from Ipolyhidveg, presenting Polish Nativity Scene on 23 Feb. 1943 in the Polish Institute: the organizers and performers were denounced to the police authorities because the puppet of Herod resembled Hitler. The second was a performance of the youth group from the Polish secondaryschool in Balatonboglar, planned in Budapest on 16 May 1943, but cancelled at the last minute (as a result of the suggestion put forward by the Hungarian authoritieswho feared to irritate Nazis). Apart from the official Hungarian censorship, there was also an internal censorship of all religious publications held by the Polish Catholic Chaplaincy.

Recent Constitutional Jurisprudence Concerning the European Union: Some Remarks on 2010 Judgments of the Polish Constitutional Court

The author discusses two recent judgments of the Constitutional Court of Poland dealing with different aspects of the relationship between Polish constitutional law and EU law. The first decision dealt with the compatibility of the Lisbon Treaty with the Polish Constitution and the competence of the Polish institutions to ratify the Treaty; the second with the rather technical question of the Polish government’s competence to implement EU regulations in Poland by adopting administrative regulations. In the first case the court held that ratification of the Treaty was in line with the Polish Constitution but, not unlike the German Constitutional Court, drew up a final line of competencies that could not constitutionally be transferred to the EU. In the second case, the Court concluded that, even if European Union regulations were directly binding and effective in the Member States, in exceptional cases these could legislate in order to ensure full effectiveness of Union law; however should this be done by administrative regulations adopted by the Polish government, the same requirements as to the precise designation of their framework and scope by the delegating act should apply as for the adoption of implementing regulations for Polish statutes.

Identifying and Interpreting Prewar and Wartime Jewish Photographs in Polish Digital Collections

Prewar and wartime photographs of Polish Jews are historical documents and unique records. A worldwide interest in photographs presenting Jewish life in Poland on the eve of the Holocaust and during the war has been sustained by the traveling exhibit And I Still See Their Faces: Images of Polish Jews, which first opened in Poland in 1996. In recent years, some Polish archives and research institutes have begun digitizing their photography collections, including prewar and wartime photographs of Polish Jews and their communities. In this article, the author focuses on two main questions: the archiving and retrieval of digitized photographs and the identification and subject analysis of the digitized collections, including participatory or social “tagging.”

„Sztuka pod dyktaturą” Jerzego Waldorff a – szkic o relacjach między faszyzmem a kulturą na przykładzie Włoch

The issue of the Polish borders in the activity of the Ministry of Congress Work and the Office of Congress Work 1940-1948 Poland’s location and history have often brought up the issue of its borders. During World War II and just after its end the issue became topical again. Interna­tional diplomacy had to undertake the task of deciding about the future of Germany yet another time in the firsthalf of the 20 th century. The issue of new borders was integral part of this decision and one of its basie elements. Poland being perforce directly affected by the border decisions wanted to participate actively in the work on the preparation of the possible future peace treaty with the western neighbour. Special institutions were established for this purpose. Within the Polish government- in-exile the Ministry of Congress Work conducted its activity and after the war was over the new Polish authorities formed the Office of Congress Works. Presenting the details of border decisions concerning Poland or Germany which were the result of the war is not the aim of this article. It is aimed at showing the visions of these borders which were developed in these two Polish institutions in two different political realities. Both the Ministry of Congress Work and the Office of Congress Work produced a large number of studies concerning the future borders. They were prepared by experts connected with various research institutions as well as columnists, military men and politicians.

Human Leukocyte Antigen Proficiency Testing for Central and Eastern Europe: A Summary of Over 10 Years of Activity

The first trial of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) Proficiency Testing for Central and Eastern Europe (formerly Proficiency Testing of HLA class I Typing for Central and Eastern Europe) was organized in 1999 with 5 Polish institutions that were involved in HLA typing. Since then, 46 HLA laboratories in 13 countries have participated in our external proficiency testing schemes. The workshop conducted by our institution meets the expectations of the European Federation for Immunogenetics to provide data on the reliability of histocompatibility testing. Our standardization workshop currently covers serological typing of HLA class I A and B loci and DNA typing at the low- and high-resolution level of HLA class I (A, B, C) and class II (DRB1, DQB1) loci. It has >30 HLA laboratories participating each year. Thirty-two laboratories in 9 countries participated in the last session, the 15th workshop in 2009. Twenty-three laboratories submitted results of HLA class I typing by serology; 28 participated in HLA class I DNA typing and 28 participated in HLA class II DNA typing, including 5 and 7 laboratories that sent results of high-resolution typing for class I and class II specificities, respectively. Continuous improvement is seen with respect to both serology and DNA typing, although some doubtful results are still reported.

Eine Insel? Das Polnische Informations- und Kulturzentrum in Leipzig (1969-1989)

An Isle? The Polish Information and Cultural Centre in Leipzig (1969–1989) In the isolated and controlled GDR-society, Polish influences were often understood as western and liberal. In this context, the establishment of the Polish Centre for Information and Culture in 1969 challenged the cultural life in Leipzig in many ways. By participating in the broad political and cultural program and frequenting language courses, the library and a crafts shop, party members, Polish citizens and interested Germans in Leipzig created several forms of adoption towards the Polish Centre. This article shows that officials and the Secret Police of the GDR reacted with irritation and distrust to the polish institution. The fear of the authorities turned out to be justified. Many – mostly German – visitors of the Centre established informal ways of communication and created themselves an intellectual and emotional «Polish home». In conclusion it becomes evident that even in the highly observed and controlled public sphere of the GDR people could add some sense and meaning to their everyday lives besides the common socialist discourse.
