First Polish Armoured Division 1938–47

A History

By: Evan McGilvray,Janusz Jarzembowski

The First Polish armored Division was formed in Scotland in February 1942 from Polish exiles who had escaped first Poland and then France. Its commander, Stanislaw Maczek, and many of its men had previously served in Polish 10th Motorized Cavalry Brigade (10 BKS), which had taken part in the Polish invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1938 and given a good account of itself in the defense of Poland against German and Soviet invasion of 1939. Under Maczek’s leadership the division was trained and equipped along British lines in preparation for the invasion of France. Attached to 1st Canadian Army, the division was sent to Normandy in late July 1944. It suffered heavily during Operation Totalize but went on to play a crucial role in preventing an orderly German withdrawal from the Falaise Pocket by its stand at Hill 262. They then played their part in the advance across Western Europe and into Germany. This detailed history, supported by dozens of archive photos, concludes by looking at the often-poor treatment of Maczek and his men after the war.

“If the Polish armed forces are of interest to you this title covering their distinguished service during World War II should appeal to many.” —Armorama The First Polish Armored Division was formed in Scotland in February 1942 from Polish exiles who had escaped first Poland and then France. Its commander, Stanislaw Maczek, and many of its men had previously served in Polish 10th Motorized Cavalry Brigade (10 BKS), which had taken part in the Polish invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1938 and given a good account of itself in the defense of Poland against German and Soviet invasion of 1939. Under Maczek’s leadership the division was trained and equipped along British lines in preparation for the invasion of France. Attached to 1st Canadian Army, the division was sent to Normandy in late July 1944. It suffered heavily during Operation Totalize but went on to play a crucial role in preventing an orderly German withdrawal from the Falaise Pocket by its stand at Hill 262. They then played their part in the advance across Western Europe and into Germany. This detailed history, supported by dozens of archive photos, concludes by looking at the often-poor treatment of Maczek and his men after the war. “A Polish armoured division comprising volunteers from Polish refugees—it reads like a story from the Boys Own Paper . . . Astonishing!” —Books Monthly

When I Am Little Again ; And, The Child's Right to Respect

By: Janusz Korczak

These two works belong to that group of books written by one of this century's fiercest and most devoted child advocates. In the first, Korczak uses fiction to reveal the joys and sorrows of a child, a ten-year-old, juxtaposing them against the feelings of an adult as they both react to two days of adventure spent together. Two prominent themes in his writing are the exploration of the place of children in an adult world and the examination of the treatment and regard children are accorded in that world. In his second book, Korczak spells out his 'Magna Charta Libertatis' in defense of the child's right to respect, right to be him or herself, and, most importantly, right to respect for the strenuous effort expended in the process of 'growing up.

Journal du ghetto

By: Janusz Korczak

Korczak, pédagogue de notoriété internationale, juif polonais, dirige dès 1913 un orphelinat aux méthodes d'éducation d'une modernité encore saisissante aujourd'hui. En 1939, l'Allemagne envahit la Pologne ; Korczak et ses pupilles sont contraints de s'installer dans le ghetto de Varsovie. En mai 1942, quelques mois avant sa mort, Korczak entreprend la rédaction de son Journal - témoignage bouleversant d'un homme d'amour et de dignité dans l'enfer du ghetto, mais également d'un écrivain doté d'une plume et d'un humour cinglants, qui n'épargne rien ni personne alors que l'orphelinat, exsangue, vit ses derniers moments avant les déportations massives de l'été 42. Recueilli et caché par de fidèles amis polonais après l'envoi de Korczak et de ses protégés à Treblinka, le Journal, exhumé après la guerre, est publié pour la première fois en 1956. En 1988, l'association Korczak d'Israël reçoit un paquet anonyme contenant des lettres, notes, articles et récits destinés aux enfants. Dans quelles circonstances ces documents ont-ils été recueillis et sauvés ? Pourquoi ont-il été dissimulés pendant plus de quarante ans ? Nous l'ignorons. Quoi qu'il en soit, les textes choisis pour cette nouvelle édition du Journal en éclairent bien des passages restés jusqu'à présent énigmatiques.
