Book excerpt: The celebrated pianist Ignacy Jan Paderewski was the rave of Paris, London, and New York audiences in the early twentieth century, with annual concert tours across the continents. But during World War I, Paderewski set music aside and turned to politics, becoming an eloquent spokesman for the country of his birth, Poland, then occupied by the empires of Russia, Germany, and Austria. Through his fame as a musician, Paderewski gained access to the top political leadership of France, Britain, and the United States. His devoted wife and collaborator, Helena, facilitated and accompanied virtually his every move. Her memoirs, written in English for a US audience and as a tribute to the US contribution to the Allied victory and help in the restoration of Poland, are the story of this great international adventure. In addition to being the constant companion and confidante of her famous husband, Helena was a woman with a broad range of practical interests and commitments. Her humanitarian and social work projects ranged from a care home for elderly female veterans of the struggle for independence, to care homes and feeding stations for refugee children, to her flagship endeavor, the Polish White Cross, an organization with some twenty thousand members over which she presided. She is one of the key sources on the historical events in which she participated or her husband told her about.

Book excerpt: In her memoirs, Helena Paderewska, wife of the celebrated pianist Ignacy Jan Paderewski, tells how she partnered with her husband to influence the course of history for their native Poland after World War I. Through his fame as a musician, Paderewski gained access to top political leadership and became an eloquent spokesman for the country of his birth, then divided among the empires of Germany, Russia, and Austro-Hungary. With Helena's support and collaboration, Paderewski succeeded in uniting the Polish American community and gaining the support of the Allied governments toward Polish independence. Helena's story represents a rare example of a woman's documenting the world of international politics during the Great War and its immediate aftermath. As Paderewski's companion, she facilitated and accompanied virtually his every move and was one of only several women present for the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. Her accounts are essential sources on the key historical events in which she and her husband participated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At least nine million Americans trace their roots to Poland, and Polish Americans have contributed greatly to American history and society. During the largest period of immigration to the United States, between 1870 and 1920, more Poles came to the United States than any other national group except Italians. Additional large-scale Polish migration occurred in the wake of World War II and during the period of Solidarity's rise to prominence. This encyclopedia features three types of entries: thematic essays, topical entries, and biographical profiles. The essays synthesize existing work to provide interpretations of, and insight into, important aspects of the Polish American experience. The topical entries discuss in detail specific places, events or organizations such as the Polish National Alliance, Polish American Saturday Schools, and the Latimer Massacre, among others. The biographical entries identify Polish Americans who have made significant contributions at the regional or national level either to the history and culture of the United States, or to the development of American Polonia.
