Portugal’s Estado Novo Regime and Apartheid South Africa: two dictatorships and their diplomatic exchanges
2019
This paper intends to analyze the foreign policies and diplomatic exchanges of Portugal’s Estado Novo Regime and Apartheid South Africa. In order to fully research these subjects, a search was made in the Portuguese National Records (Torre do Tombo) and the Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After a careful selection of the most important documents that served the purposes of this study, we performed a literature review of the subjects at hand, mainly in (Portuguese) history and international relations. The most important reasons for the proximity of these two foreign policies after World War II are extensively debated, whether militarily, economically and politically. The time-span of…
Ks. Johannesa Chrząszcza zapiski o I wojnie światowej. Sylwetka górnośląskiego historyka w 90. rocznicę śmierci
2019
Przypadająca w 2018 roku 90. rocznica śmierci ks. Johannesa Chrząszcza jest dobrą okazją, aby przybliżyć szerszemu gronu czytelniczemu sylwetkę tegoż górnośląskiego kapłana. Ks. Piotr Górecki w swoim artykule przybliża nie tylko sylwetkę ks. J. Chrząszcza, wspominając o najważniejszych wydarzeniach z jego kapłańskiego życia i prezentując spuściznę jego prac naukowych, liczącą 172 pozycje, głównie z historii Górnego Śląska. Na kanwie 100. rocznicy zakończenia I wojny światowej snuje przede wszystkim refleksję dotyczącą postawy tegoż śląskiego kapłana wobec władzy świeckiej. Źródłem badawczym stały się pozostawione przez ks. J. Chrząszcza zapiski kronikarskie, jakie zamieścił w książce o dzie…
"Jest typem dość sympatycznym". Józef Retinger i wywiad cywilny PRL
2020
Józef Retinger is one of the most colourful, and at the same time puzzling, figures in the recent history of Poland. During the Second World War, he was a political advisor and grey eminence to the head of the Polish government, General Władysław Sikorski, and after the war he remained in exile. He was very active in promoting European unity. He founded the politically influential Bilderberg Group. He was suspected of being a British intelligence agent. He was also accused of working for the secret services of several other states, and of being a freemason. In the second half of the 1950s, the ntelligence service of the PRL took an interest in Retinger. This is a little-known episode in Ret…
Germany, Russia and the polish cause in Jędrzej Giertych's Articles in the Parisian monthly "Horyzonty" (1956–1971)
2018
The liberalisation of the communist system in the mid-1950s, disillusionment with the policy of the West, fears connected with West German revisionism, and dwindling chances of change in the situation of Central and Eastern Europe contributed to diverse attitudes among Polish emigrants. Some of them, notably among the nationalists, voiced the need to seek compromise with Russia. This led to the emergence of a pro-Russian faction alongside the still dominant pro-Western one. The thesis of the need for an alliance with Russia was propagated by Jędrzej Giertych in his writing in the Paris-based monthly Horyzonty. This ideologically committed opponent of communism and staunch Catholic was at th…
O ks. Antonim Korczoku (1891–1941) w 80. rocznicę jego męczeńskiej śmierci (nowe ustalenia)
2022
Z okazji mijającej w ubiegłym roku 80. rocznicy męczeńskiej śmierci ks. Antoniego Korczoka (5 lutego 1941 r.), jaką poniósł za wiarę w obozie koncentracyjnym w Dachau, zarówno w Gliwicach, jak i na terenie diecezji gliwickiej, przeżywano „Rok ks. Antoniego Korczoka”. W czasie organizowanych spotkań, w tym konferencji międzynarodowej (2 października 2021 r.), raz jeszcze przypomniano historię jego świątobliwego życia i okoliczności męczeńskiej śmierci. Przy okazji lokalni historycy ponownie przyjrzeli się osobie przedwojennego proboszcza z Gliwic-Sośnicy, próbując rozwiązać zawiłości związane z historią jego życia. W taki sposób, dzięki przeprowadzonej kwerendzie archiwalnej i na podstawie w…

Work careers in adults separated temporarily from their parents in childhood during World War II.
2019
Introduction: Traumatic experiences, such as separation from parents in childhood causing early life stress (ELS) may increase the risk of adverse long-term health outcomes and biological age-related changes. This may have an impact on work career. Our aim was to examine long term consequences of ELS due to temporary separation from parents during World War II (WWII) in relation to work career. - Material and methods: The Helsinki Birth Cohort Study comprises 13,345 individuals born in Helsinki, Finland, between the years 1934–1944. From the original cohort, 1781 individuals were identified as being separated temporarily from their parents due to World War II. Information on date and type o…
Early Life Stress and Physical and Psychosocial Functioning in Late Adulthood
2013
Background. Severe stress experienced in early life may have long-term effects on adult physiological and psychological health and well-being. We studied physical and psychosocial functioning in late adulthood in subjects separated temporarily from their parents in childhood during World War II. Methods. The 1803 participants belong to the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study, born 1934–44. Of them, 267 (14.8%) had been evacuated abroad in childhood during WWII and the remaining subjects served as controls. Physical and psychosocial functioning was assessed with the Short Form 36 scale (SF-36) between 2001 and 2004. A test for trends was based on linear regression. All analyses were adjusted for age…
Early life stress and frailty in old age: the Helsinki birth cohort study
2018
Background: Evidence suggests that early life stress (ELS) may extend its effect into adulthood and predispose an individual to adverse health outcomes. We investigated whether wartime parental separation, an indicator of severe ELS, would be associated with frailty in old age. Methods: Of the 972 participants belonging to the present sub-study of the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study, 117 (12. 0%) had been evacuated abroad unaccompanied by their parents in childhood during World War II. Frailty was assessed at a mean age of 71 years according to Fried's criteria. Results: Thirteen frail men (4 separated and 9 non-separated) and 20 frail women (2 separated and 18 non-separated) were identified. C…
