In Polish: a geological and archaeological study of Colima Mexico including studies of its terrain and volcanic possibilities. Extremely uncommon publication from the Polish refugee colony at Santa Rosa near Leon in Guanajuato Mexico. Thousands of Polish refugees were first sent off to Soviet gulags and from there were placed in mainly British commonwealth countries including Iran and India although some ended up in Israel. The United States in trying to forge an alliance with Stalin declined to make room for Polish refugees although some indeed did end up on the west coast where they were put into Japanese internment camps. But the Mexican ambassador to Britain Alfonso Rozenzweig Diaz an admirer of the Polish General Sikorski who had pleaded with Roosevelt for assistance offered to put up a community of Poles in Santa Rosa Guanajuato where he made a "hacienda" available schools and school supplies which were supplemented by Polish-American organizations in the States. When the war ended in 1945 the President of Mexico made the Poles remaining at Santa Rosa welcome to either apply for permanent residency or to leave to Poland which was then under Soviet control and therefore almost as unwelcoming as it was under the Germans. Only a handful who had family back in Poland chose to return. Most others ended up in the United States but some who had married or established businesses stayed on in Guanajuato. Most of the Poles who ended up in Santa Rosa were at the end of a 2-year 20000km journey filled with much hardship.

Cold War Eastern Europe Solidarity Movement Ephemera Archive Documenting Labor Activism and Democratic Transition Poland 1980s to 1989

1980Best.-Nr. 221631980. Solidarity movement ephemera archive. 1980s-1989. This archive documents opposition organizing and political communication in eastern Poland during the final phase of Communist rule with particular emphasis on labor unrest student activism and the 1989 electoral campaign that led to partial democratic reform. The material records how Solidarność operated through underground print culture and regional coordination including strike reporting candidate promotion and direct appeals to voters. It provides primary evidence of political messaging grassroots mobilization and the emergence of open electoral discourse in the months preceding the June 1989 elections. Archive of over 30 pieces of printed ephemera and underground publications produced in the Lublin and Zamość regions primarily in Polish in varying formats including newspapers broadsheets flyers tickets brochures and a pennant. Key items include Biuletyn Solidarność Nos. 2 and 3 15 and 22 May 1989 issued by the Regional Committee for Lublin-Zamość containing articles such as "Protest płacowy na uczelniach lubelskich" documenting wage protests at Lublin universities and an interview with candidate Adam Kozaczyński titled "Mogę pracować dla ludzi i dla kraju." Additional coverage includes "Wyborcy o kandydatach" presenting voter responses to candidates. Student activism appears in Gazeta Strajkowa Lublin Nr. 3 a hectograph-printed publication of the Independent Students' Association NZS criticizing state education policy with statements including "Nie narusza w żadnym stopniu postulatów studentów" and "Odradza nadal Ministerstwo Oświaty i Wychowania." A 13 May 1989 issue of Przegląd Wiadomości Agencyjnych features a mining strike in Lubin under the headline "STRAJK" accompanied by an image of workers holding a protest banner. Election materials include flyers and cards bearing the slogan "Twoja Szansa Solidarność: Wybory 1989" promoting candidates such as Tadeusz Mańka Adam Stanowski and Henryk Janusz Stępniak along with a facsimile-signed letter from Lech Wałęsa dated May 1989 urging coordinated political participation. These materials were produced during the rapid political transformation of 1989 when negotiations between the Communist government and opposition groups led to partially free elections and the eventual formation of a non-Communist government. Underground and semi-legal print media played a central role in disseminating information coordinating protest and legitimizing opposition candidates particularly in regional centers such as Lublin. Light toning and minor wear consistent with ephemeral use; overall very good. A concentrated archive of Solidarity print culture preserving the language organization and visual strategies of political mobilization at the end of Communist rule in Poland. unknown books
