Extractions: Beginning through the Age of Greatness Polish history began in the early 9th century when the Polians (dwellers in the field) obtained hegemony over the others Slavic tribes that occupied the country. Their principal dynasty (PIAST) accepted Christianity in 966. Poznan was the earliest Polish capital and Gniezno the first Episcopal see. The main line of the Piast dynasty ended in 1370 with Casimir III, and the crown passed to Casimir's nephew, Louis I of Hungary and to Louis's daughter Jadwiga. Jadwiga married Ladislaus (Wladyslaw) Jagiello , duke of Lithuania, who became king of Poland as Ladislaw II (Wladislaw) . The time 1386-1572 under Jagiello's power was considered the "golden age" of Poland. King Ladislaw III (Wladislaw) (killed) by the Turks in the battle of Warna (1444), gave Poland the prestige of championing the Christian cause against the Moslem tide. In 1569 Poland absorbed Lithuania by the Union of Lublin. After 1572 no dynasty maintained itself for long, and the theory that the entire nobility could take part in the royal elections, applied in practice, frequently led to contested elections and civil wars. There was considerable religious toleration in 16th century Poland, and the progress of Protestantism was arrested without coercion by the Jesuits. Much of the reigns of

GS#5646 Ordering Information A World Apart: Imprisonment in a Soviet Labor Camp During World War II by Gustaw Herling-Grudzinski, (Viking Penguin, 1996), translated from the Polish by Andrzej Ciolkosz, 256pp, $10.75 (paperback). GS#2782. Ordering Information I n 1940, Gustaw Herling was arrested after he joined an underground Polish army that fell into Russian hands. He was sent to a northern Russian labor camp, where he spent the two most terrible years of his life. In A World Apart , he tells of the people he was imprisoned with, the hardships they endured, and the indomitable spirit and will that allowed them to survive. He writes of a man who poured boiling water over himself in order to avoid going to the gas chamber, only to die an agonizing death from his festering burns; of a young woman who sells herself for a scrap of food; of an old man who lives for letters from the son who forsakes him for the Soviet cause. Above all, he creates a portrait of how people-deprived of food, clothing, proper medical care, and forced to work at hard labor-can come together to form a community that offers hope in the face of hopelessness, that offers life even when the living have no life left.

Extractions: A Guide Millions of people all around the world trace their roots to the territory of present-day Poland. Their ancestors might have been of Polish, German, Jewish, Ruthenian or other ethnic backgrounds and they might have belonged to the Roman Catholic, Greek Catholic, Lutheran, Orthodox, Calvinist or Mennonite Churches, or professed Judaism. This guide is designed for helping their descendants in researching their family's history dating back to different times and places in contemporary Poland. Although my own family research has focused mainly on the region of Wielkopolska (Greater Poland - formerly Provinz Posen) , my pages deal with genealogical problems pertaining to all former and present provinces of Poland. I hope my guide will be equally beneficial to other researchers whose ancestors originated from all those territories. In particular this guide also includes valuable information for the descendants of the Germans who also inhabited the Prussian provinces taken over by Poland after WWII. As this guide contains a compendium of information, I decided to group it into the following subjects:

The Kingdom of Poland is marked in white; Russia - in green, Austria - in yellow and Prussia - in blue. Present-day political boundaries are shown as red lines. Present names of cities are also given. During the second half of the 18th century the Kingdom of Poland was a country which differed from present-day Poland in many important ways. Its territory included all of what we now call Lithuania, Belarus and half of contemporary Ukraine. On the other hand, nearly half of the contemporary area of Poland then belonged to Prussia (or, less precisely - to Germany). From time immemorial all those territories had been inhabited by diverse peoples of several religions. The western and central regions of the Kingdom were inhabited mostly by Catholics of Polish ethnic background. Catholic Poles and Lithuanians lived in its north-eastern section, which is now the Republic of Lithuania. The eastern regions were inhabited by Byzantine Catholics of Ruthenian (which is now Belarussian and Ukrainian) background and a small but important Catholic Polish minority. All parts of the Polish Kingdom were also inhabited by Jews (about 10% of the whole population) who lived mostly in

Extractions: A proud country with a history that dates back at least 1,100 years, Poland has outlived many of the powers that sought to absorb it. As both a nation rich in history and a former socialist state speedily preparing for EU accession, today's Poland is a place where modernity and tradition exist side by side. One of the largest of the countries of Eastern Europe, Poland was the first of these countries to liberate its government from the Communist domination it endured for 45 years. It was the relegalization of the trade union Solidarity and the agreement to hold partially free parliamentary elections that appeared to have opened the floodgates of radical reforms that spilled over into other countries of the Soviet bloc. In 1989, a year of drama unmatched in modern history, government after government collapsed in Eastern Europe and politically transformed not only Poland but also East Germany, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, and the Soviet Union itself. The Holy Roman Empire, Sweden, Prussia, Russia, and Austria all tried to expand at the expense of Poland. Though partitioning all but erased Poland from the map of Europe in the late 18th century, Napoleon created the Grand Duchy of Warsaw and later, the Congress of Vienna restored a Kingdom of Poland in 1815, with the Russian czar as monarch. From 1830 on, the Russian influence on Polish society intensified. Until recently, Russian was a required language in elementary school. At this time, Poland was home to the largest population of Jews in Europe. In 1939, Germany attacked Poland along with the Soviet Union. Divided between the two then-allies, Poland suffered great losses during the war. Nearly all Polish Jews, (estmated at 3 million) were sent to Nazi concentration camps, which were then erected all over Poland. A Polish government-in-exile was established in London, but its effectiveness was limited.
