Machinists: Toolmakers, Engineers, Creators of American Industry

By: Jan Kobylarz

What stands out in this memoir is above all the work that he has treated with exceptional seriousness from the very beginning, describing himself as the little screw that drives itself into the grand technology as all round machinist and invincible form grinder. Readers not familiar with modern technology will have to be impressed in this fascinating story by the thoroughness with which the author describes complicated production processes and high-precision items produced by his skilled hands. Also astonishing is his ability to recollect the details of social interactions in the workplace as well as among the neighbors. Besides work, the most important place is occupied by the family. A separate, but an equally important hobby is history and politics, both the grand one and the smaller, local one. Everywhere, whether at work, at home or social occasions, he participated in discussions, impressing everyone with his historical knowledge and his levelheaded outlook on current developments in the USA, the world, Poland, and Iraq. He also was, is, and always will be a great patriot, an ambassador of the Polish cause. After all, as he writes in the closing sentences of his memoirs, neither education nor wealth is important; what is important for us is to represent our country with dignity, wherever we might find ourselves. From the Foreword by Wladyslaw Sobecki

Polish Adventurer

By: Jan Kobylarz

Invariably for many years, memoirs have had a large group of devoted readers. Thanks to reading memories of people who were active participants or simply observers of great historic events allows us to maintain contact with the past, which usually fades under the pressure of everyday business. A reader who should pick the self-account by Jan Kobylarz, a signaler of the 7th Regiment of the 3rd Division, will take a fascinating journey into the past marked by some of the most tragic events in history; World War II. The writer took active part in the war. It engulfed his youthful years and proved to be a tough school of life. As a direct witness of the described events he went in his Polish Army uniform along the great combat route from the right bank Warsaw through Pomerania fortifi ed region, foregrounds of Berlin towards the Laba where he celebrated the end of war. This frank, simply written soldiers account is impressive for the detail in which the events were memorized. It gives description of dramatic struggle for the east-bank Warsaw borough of Praga, the dearly paid attempt to help the insurgents fi ghting in the westbank part of Warsaw, ferocious fi ght for the town of Kolobrzeg and the region of Pomerania fortifi ed by the nazis. The author takes us along to relive the most diffi cult moments, the happiness for successful actions or the bitter disappointment when He was deprived of meeting the allied brothers in arms on the Laba River. Besides descriptions of the daredevil combat actions the book is particularly interesting for accounts of work of the so- called political offi cers, popularly called the politruks. Frequent training sessions, chatty lectures, and press briefi ngs were an important elements of the ideological second front. The authors account suggests those lectures, aimed at educating the soldiers, often changed into heated political discussions in which mature opinions mixed with somehow naive trust in good fortune and good will of the politicians who then were making decisions about Polands future. The author, Jan Kobylarz, has remained in the business of connecting people. Just as 55 years ago when he was using telephone lines to connect units with the command centers, he now makes a connection between the reader and the Great History. His colorful story could became a valuable addition to textbook, academic descriptions of our war time history. Wladyslaw Sobecki

Between Nazis and Soviets

Occupation Politics in Poland, 1939-1947

By: Marek Jan Chodakiewicz

Between 1939 and 1947 the county of Janów Lubelski, an agricultural area in central Poland, experienced successive occupations by Nazi Germany (1939-1944) and the Soviet Union (1944-1947). During each period the population, including the Polish majority and the Jewish, Ukrainian, and German minorities, reacted with a combination of accommodation, collaboration, and resistance. In this remarkably detailed and revealing study, Marek Jan Chodakiewicz analyzes and describes the responses of the inhabitants of occupied Janów to the policies of the ruling powers. He provides a highly useful typology of response to occupation, defining collaboration as an active relationship with the occupiers for reasons of self-interest and to the detriment of one's neighbors; resistance as passive and active opposition; and accommodation as compliance falling between the two extremes. He focuses on the ways in which these reactions influenced relations between individuals, between social classes, and between ethnic groups. Casting new light on social dynamics within occupied Poland during and after World War II, Between Nazis and Soviets yields valuable insight for scholars of conflict studies.
