Download or read book Spring Will Be Ours written by Andrzej Paczkowski and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spring Will Be Ours focuses on the turbulent half century from the outbreak of World War II in 1939, which started the chain of events that would lead to the communist takeover of Poland, to 1989, when futile attempts to reform the communist system gave way to its total transformation. Andrzej Paczkowski shows how the communists captured and consolidated power, describes their use of terror and propaganda, and illuminates the changes that took place within the governing elite. He also documents the political opposition to the regime - both inside Poland and abroad - that resulted in upheavals in 1956, 1968, 1970, 1976, and 1980. His narrative makes evident the pressures that the elite felt from above, from Moscow, and from below, from the population and from within the party. The history of Poland and the Poles is of special interest because on numerous occasions in the twentieth century this relatively small country influenced developments on a global scale.

Book excerpt: The Polish Historical Committee Collection documents the churches, organizations, and societies that the Polish-American community established throughout southwestern Pennsylvania in the latter 19th and early 20th centuries. The collection is primarily comprised of religious programs, anniversary books and programs, dedication pamphlets, Polish newspapers, and correspondence. The materials are primarily in Polish. The programs and books have been arranged in two groups (Polish Falcons and Non-Falcons organizations) and subdivided by location where the events or services were held. Correspondence between F.B. Starzynski, secretary of the Polish Historical Committee, and Homer Saint-Gaudens, the Director of the Carnegie Institute, documents his efforts in 1923 to gain Polish inclusion into the Carnegie Institute annual international exhibit. There is also some correspondence between Starzynkis family members. The Pittsburczanin Polish Daily and the Sokol Polski, the official newspaper of the Polish Falcons of America, represent most of the newsprint in the collection. They date between 1921 and 1931.

Download or read book The Pope in Poland written by James Ramon Felak and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Paul II was the first non-Italian pope in over 500 years, and the first Slavic pontiff in history. Shortly after his election to the papacy in 1978, he launched a series of visits to his native Poland, then in the midst of dramatic social changes that heralded the end of Communism. In this groundbreaking book, James Ramon Felak carefully examines the Pope’s first four visits to his homeland in June of 1979, 1983, 1987, and 1991 in the late Communist and immediate post-Communist period. Careful analysis of speeches, press coverage, and documents from the Communist Party, government, and police show how the Pope and the Communist authorities engaged one another. Felak gives equal attention to John Paul’s political and religious messages, highlighting how he astutely maneuvered between the rising hopes of the Polish people and the dangerous fears of a dying regime. The Pope in Poland recreates and explicates these dramatic visits that played a major role in the collapse of Communism in Poland as well as laid out a papal vision for Poland’s post-Communist future.
