Alphabet of Solidarity

By: Barbara Fedyszak-Radziejowska,Andrzej Horubała,Paweł Janowski,Jan Pietrzak,Piotr Semka,Barbara Sułek-Kowalska,Wojciech Tomczyk,Mateusz Wyrwich,Joanna Lewandowska

“Alphabet of Solidarity” is primarily addressed to young readers who do not remember those events and usually know little about the history of Solidarity We want to explain to them why we – witnesses of that time – insist that this history is still alive, that it is so very important not only for us, but also for young Poles Because, surely, the history of Solidarity is fascinating and inspiring today too It contains a positive narrative about Poland and Poles Each generation gradually grows to respect its ancestors Because, without knowing who preceded us in the generational relay, we cannot understand ourselves Even if, as is the right of youth, we are ridiculing tradition, demonstrating that it means nothing to us – there comes a time when we find ourselves lacking this knowledge And we need it like we need oxygen The history of Solidarity not only inspires, but also enables us to respect our ancestors and our nation It lets us believe in the sense of fighting for an independent state, in the sense of patriotism, civil courage, altruism, love of our fellow man and the clearly understood pluralism and tolerance Such heritage is included in the tradition of Solidarity In order to talk about this, we selected a form that is easier to take in than a scientific book, with hope that it will also be read by those who usually stay away from scientific works Hence, the idea of the “Alphabet of Solidarity” format with short encyclopaedic entries The book contains an alphabetical collection of names, concepts, slogans, and surnames, which constitute a specific, synthetic guide through the history of the Solidarity Carnival of 1980–1981 The texts are not scientific Rather, they are testimonies of the authors, who, usually as an op-ed, describe the phenomena of the freedom revolution employing a variety of styles and conventions The authors who accepted our invitation to participate in this project are a varied and pluralistic group, just like Solidarity However, what they all have in common is the belief that we are all both debtors and heirs of Solidarity, and that it is a story worth telling The purpose of the “Alphabet of Solidarity” is to showcase the brighter side of our history, which still inspires people with the positive energy of that time, because… “There is no freedom without Solidarity” Krzysztof Nowak

Postmortal succession on the example of Polish law in a comparative perspective

Between inheritance law and nonprobate transfers

By: Wojciech Bańczyk

This book presents numerous instruments which create postmortal succession on the example of Polish law. Alongside the solution in inheritance law, one may apply specific inheritance (e.g. of agricultural farms) that benefits only such heirs who meet additional requirements, as well as undertake legal acts that allow to decide on heritability (or non-heritability) character of rights and duties (e.g. within the contract of mandate or company contracts). There are also numerous legislative instruments that allow for succession otherwise than by inheritance so that particular persons (and not heirs) benefit after the decedent. Such instruments include regulations of civil law but also e.g. banking law, social insurance law which are often comparable with nonprobate instruments (or willsubstitutes) under American law or German Sonderrechtsnachfolge.

Wallington's Polish Community

By: Wojciech Siemaszkiewicz,Marta Mestrovic Deyrup

The years after World War I heralded a large influx of Polish immigrants fleeing war-torn homelands in search of a better life. Drawn by the opportunity to work in the textile and manufacturing mills, Polish immigrants moved to Wallington, New Jersey, a newly incorporated borough in Bergen County. The Polish community of Wallington established themselves as local store owners and businessmen. They constructed churches and social club buildings; established restaurants, pubs, and grocery stores; and participated in the social life of their community. By the 1920s, Polish Americans began to dominate local politics; in 1929, the first Polish American mayor, Leo Strzelecki, was elected. Polish Americans became the majority in Wallington between 1935 and 1945, representing about 70 percent of the population. In 2012, Polish Americans comprise over 50 percent of Wallingtons population. Through vintage photographs that capture the spiritual life of these people and the struggles they overcame, Wallingtons Polish Community honors the Polish immigrants of the past while educating new generations.

Rana

By: Wojciech Chmielarz

Podobno czas leczy rany. Jednak niektóre nigdy się nie zabliźniają. Najpierw pod kołami pociągu ginie Marysia, uczennica ekskluzywnej prywatnej szkoły na warszawskim Mokotowie. Jej nauczycielka, Elżbieta, rozpoczyna prywatne śledztwo, ale wkrótce sama ginie, a ciało znika. Jedynymi osobami, które cokolwiek widziały, są Gniewomir, nieprzystosowany społecznie chłopak zafascynowany seryjnymi zabójcami, i Klementyna, nauczycielka na życiowym zakręcie, której wydaje się, że praca w poważanej szkole to uśmiech od losu. Nic bardziej mylnego. Żadne z nich nie chce angażować się w tę sprawę – każde z nich ma swoje powody – ale żadne nie ma wyjścia. Gdyby wiedzieli, dokąd zaprowadzi ich to śledztwo, nigdy by się na to nie odważyli. Szkoła okazuje się pełna tajemnic. Podobnie jak pracujący w niej nauczyciele... Rana to bezlitosne studium zła uśpionego w zaciszu domowego ogniska. Niepokojące i mroczne, odsłania najgłębiej skrywane tajemnice, o których nikt nie chce mówić. Nowa powieść jednego z najwyżej ocenianych i najchętniej czytanych współczesnych pisarzy odziera z wszelkich złudzeń.
