The article seeks to name the factors responsible for making the Roma Genocide invisible until the 1970s. The metaphorical phrase “Invisible Roma Genocide” may shed light on the relations between activities performed by political and social activists and contemporary Roma art. Roma artists have been put in a specific position – they are becoming ‘memory agents’.

The article investigates the persecution of the Catholic Church in the times of Stalinism, when the political power in Poland was largely centralized in the hands of the Communists of Jewish origin, who were sent by Joseph Stalin from Moscow in order to sovietize Poland. The Catholic Church, which had been defending the sovereignty of Poland for centuries, was treated by Com-munists as a greatest enemy of their objectives. The article shows the ruthlessness of the Com-munist regime, whose goal was to weaken the role of the Roman Catholic Church, and to liqui-date its leading institutions, such as the Catholic University of Lublin. It concisely presents main assumptions of the “anticlerical action” which was authorized by Hilary Minc and Jakub Ber-man. The paper contains legal reviews which indicate the illegal behavior of security officers in relation to Catholics, in particular to those of juvenile age. It argues that, with fighting against the Catholicism in Poland, the Communists infringed the law established by themselves. The article is a result of the many months inquiry in several archive institutes in Poland.

In the paper the author discusses the issues related to the persecution of Jehovah’s Witnesses by the authorities of the Republic of Armenia and the Armenian Apostolic Church, which enjoys the status of the national church. In Armenia Jehovah’s Witnesses are commonly perceived as a „particularly negative sect”. Due to their refusal to perform military service (which is important in the situation of the still not resolved conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh) they are treated as traitors to their own nation. The registration application of Jehovah’s Witnesses was rejected by the authorities fifteen times and despite the & nal success with the registration they still face numerous obstacles which makes it hard to exercise their faith openly. The author’s intention is to raise awareness to the fact that Armenians still demonstrate a negative attitude to all religious minorities, as the re{ ection of the generally prevailing „fear of strangers”. The actions of local TV channels broadcasting current affairs programs in which minorities are shown as enemies to the country and the national unity, can also be blames. Social attitudes explicitly indicate that for Armenians religious diversity constitutes a threat to the ethnic unity. Papers devoted to the freedom of religion published before 2015 show that Jehovah’s Witnesses were the ones particularly persecuted. The blame for such a situation lies to a large extent with the clergy of the Armenian Apostolic Church who encourage locals to defend the national church. The issue of religious minorities is also used in the political struggle. According to some leading Armenian politicians Jehovah’s Witnesses run the policy which is most destructive for Armenia. The blame for the spread of sects in Armenia is put on Western European countries and the United States of America which are believed to & nance sects with the intention to destroy all Orthodox Christian churches that preserve national identity. It is widely believed that America supports sects as it is interested in destabilization of geopolitical situation in the regions close to Russia. The author also tries to find an answer to the question why, despite such unfavorable conditions, Jehovah’s Witnesses in Armenia keep gaining more followers at an increasing rate.

The author analyses the ?Guidelines for Modern Pastoral Work", published by bishop Josyf Slipyja (1892 –1984). The document had a binding canonical authority during the illegal activities of the Greek Catholic Church in the Soviet Union. It provided clear directions to the pastoral practice, operating under harsh realities of the communist regime. It retains its valour for the Church, working under present conditions, in that it opens up a perspective of a dialogue between the Greek Catholics and the Orthodox Christians. It invites to a greater inculturation, facilitates discussions on liturgical matters and points ways to agreements on thorny issues. Careful examination of the document allows the author of this essay to forward a claim that some of its directives retain their usefulness to the Greek Catholic Church even today. To illustrate this point he first sketches a historical context of the document, then describes its structure and content, with special attention to its theological dimension, and finally presents these present pastoral challenges that can be met with the help of theanalysed paper. Particular solutions may be applied to a crisis, preservation of the deposit of faith, pastoral care of faithful, religious practice of the clergy and dialogue with other denominations. The latter was actually quite ahead the ecumenical spirit, sanctioned later by the Second Vatican Council.

The article refers to the problem of the extinction of Christianity and other religious minorities in the Middle East. This process began in the 19th century in the Balkans and continued with Jews in the Arab countries, Jews and Bahais in Iran, and the Chaldo-Assyrian Christians in Iraq and Syria. The events of 2011 provoked a new wave of anti-Christian feelings in the Arab world with the worst anti-Christian violence against Copts in Egypt. The other question discussed in the article is why the Western press and political elites have ignored or under-reported this persecution.

In our contemporary society there exists a fascination with trauma and testimony. Thus, my paper looks at traumatised protagonists in the above-mentioned plays that testify to the manifold victimization of asylum seekers. First they were tortured and persecuted in their home countries, and then subjected to new traumatic humiliation in prison-like detention centres in Great Britain. Both plays assume a political position by appealing to the individual conscience of the audience who, through the characters’ outrageous narration, become witnesses to appalling violations of human rights.

The aim of this article is to analyze the phenomenon of mobbing, its characteristics, types of this phenomenon, the phases that occur, as well as to present the obligations of the employer in this regard and the possibility of legal protection of the victim of mobbing. The text considers the concept of mobbing based on legal sources and literature. In this chapter, the source of this name was identified and the definitions of mobbing created by many researchers of the phenomenon were presented. The essence of mobbing and its purpose were described, the most characteristic features were defined, its types and reasons for its occurrence were presented. Moreover, factors influencing the development of mobbing and the phases of this phenomenon were determined. The focus was on the features of a mobber and the predispositions that a victim usually has. The article also indicates the obligations incumbent on the employer related to the prevention of mobbing in the workplace he supervises. Attention was drawn to the essence of introducing an anti–mobbing policy in every organization. The legal regulations concerning mobbing are briefly presented. The relationship between the proper organization of work and counteracting mobbing was also determined. The methods of dealing with mobbing activities by the victim – both psychological and social – are presented. Moreover, it describes what a victim of mobbing has solutions to a situation of mental terror and how to help him. An analysis of the legal provisions was also made, which stipulate liability for each case of mobbing in the workplace in relation to the employer. The legal remedies available to the victim are described. It was determined what conditions an employee must meet in order to be considered a victim of mobbing in court. The focus was on legal guarantees of protection against mobbing. The main goal of this text is to draw attention to the enormity of the problem of mobbing in labor relations (also among the teaching staff), due to the imperfection of legal provisions and the low level of social awareness, which in turn leads to individual suffering and the increasing number of suicides caused by the intensification of this problem.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza zjawiska, jakim jest mobbing – jego cech charakterystycznych, rodzajów tego zjawiska, występujących faz, a także przedstawienie obowiązków pracodawcy w tym zakresie i możliwości ochrony prawnej ofiary mobbingu. W tekście rozpatruje się pojęcie mobbingu w oparciu o źródła prawne i literaturę. Określone zostało źródło pochodzenia nazwy i przytoczone zostały jej definicje, stworzone przez badaczy. Opisano istotę mobbingu i jego cel, przedstawiono jego rodzaje i przyczyny występowania. Ponadto określono czynniki wpływające na rozwój mobbingu i fazy tego zjawiska. Skupiono się na cechach, jakimi charakteryzuje się mobber oraz predyspozycjach, jakie posiada zazwyczaj ofiara. W artykule wskazano także na obowiązki ciążące na pracodawcy, związane z zapobieganiem temu zjawisku w podległym mu zakładzie pracy. Zwrócono uwagę na istotę wprowadzenia polityki antymobbingowej w każdej organizacji. Krótko przedstawione zostały regulacje prawne dotyczące zjawiska mobbingu. Określono także związek pomiędzy właściwą organizacją pracy i przeciwdziałaniem mobbingowi. Przedstawiono sposoby radzenia sobie z działaniami mobbingu przez ofiarę – zarówno psychologiczne, jak i społeczne. Ponadto opisano jakie ofiara mobbingu ma wyjścia z sytuacji terroru psychicznego i jak można udzielić jej pomocy. Dokonano również analizy przepisów prawa, które stwierdzają odpowiedzialność za każdy przypadek mobbingu w miejscu pracy w stosunku do pracodawcy. Opisano środki prawne, jakie przysługują ofierze. Określono, jakie warunki musi spełnić pracownik, by zostać uznanym za ofiarę mobbingu przed sądem. Skupiono się na gwarancjach prawnych ochrony przed mobbingiem. Celem głównym nadrzędnym niniejszego tekstu jest zwrócenie uwagi na ogrom problemu zjawiska mobbingu w stosunkach pracy (także wśród grona pedagogicznego), ze względu na niedoskonałość przepisów prawa oraz niski stan świadomości społecznej, co z kolei prowadzi do cierpienia jednostki i rosnącej liczby samobójstw spowodowanych nasileniem się tego zjawiska.

Tacitus’ description of Nero’s punishment of Christians for the Great Fire of Rome in AD 64 has made a great impact on later understandings of Christian history. However, several questions have been raised concerning the accuracy of this account, and recently the historicity of a persecution of Christians under Nero has been denied altogether by Brent Shaw. This article discusses the most important objections and tries to achieve a better understanding of the events by combining an analysis of the narrative functions of this persecution in Tacitus with a new consideration of the earliest Christian reports. The article ends with an Appendix containing an updated analysis of the emergence of the name “Christian”.

The paper discusses the clash between State Security (Státní bezpečnost) and political dissent during Czechoslovak normalisation, or rather one of its aspects: the expert knowledge that both sides used in the conflict. While State Security was making an effort to improve in the field of psychology and also in its use of technology, especially during surveillance, the dissidents gradually acquired a perfect knowledge of the Czechoslovak legal system, which helped them to defend themselves, at least to some extent, against the harassment by the security apparatus. The paper discusses the approaches taken by both sides as well as how they actually worked in practice.

Artykuł poświęcony został problemowi postawy i polityki cesarza Marka Aureliusza (panował w l. 161–180 po Chr.) wobec chrześcjian, w oparciu o jego słynny duchowy pamiętnik – funkcjonujący w polskiej literaturze naukowej i kulturze pod tytułem "Rozmyślania". Punktem wyjścia rozważań jest uznawana powszechnie słuszna obserwacja, że Marek Aureliusz był jednym z najbardziej wrażliwych, szlachetnych i prawych ludzi, jacy w przeciągu kilkuwiekowej historii Imperium Romanum zasiadali na tronie cesarskim. U wielu badaczy budził jednak zdziwienie fakt, że to właśnie za rządów tego szlachetnego cesarza-filozofa, człowieka łagodnego i hołdującego, mającemu tak wiele na pierwszy rzut oka wspólnego z filozofią chrześcijańską, stoicyzmowi, doszło do poważniejszych prześladowań chrześcijan, głównie w Galii (Lugdunum, dzisiaj: Lyon) – w roku 177. Niniejszy artykuł jest próbą wyjaśnienia sprzeczności, jak możliwe było, aby człowiek o tak ogromnej wrażliwości i kulturze osobistej mógł pozwolić na wspomniane akty represji.

This article is devoted to the problem of Emperor Marcus Aurelius' (reigned 161-180 after Christ) attitude and policy towards Christians, based on his famous spiritual diary - which has been preserved in Polish scholarly and cultural literature under the title of "Meditations". The starting point for the deliberations is the commonly accepted observation that Marcus Aurelius was one of the most sensitive, noble and upright men to have sat on the imperial throne in the history of the Roman Empire for several centuries. However, many scholars have been surprised to learn that it was during the reign of this noble emperor-philosopher, a gentle man who was a proponent of Stoicism, which at first sight had so much in common with Christian philosophy, that major persecutions of Christians took place, mainly in Gaul (Lugdunum, today: Lyon) in 177. This article is an attempt to explain the contradiction of how it was possible for a man of such great sensitivity and personal culture to allow the aforementioned acts of repression.

Terrorist attacks in Europe and the Middle East in July 2016 spread horror and fear throughout the world. Istanbul, Baghdad, Nice, Munich, Saint Etienne-du-Rouvray – only to name the most quoted in the media. Terror organisations such as Daesh, especially in the Middle East, were and are taking a heavy toll not only on people’s lives but also on their personal and collective identity, only to mention the very recent attack on the Egiptian mosque in November 2017 leaving over 300 people dead and hundrends injured. It proves that terrorists target all religious groups, including Muslims, nevertheless Christians are among the most suffering religious groups in the region. Physical violence is a major issue for Human Rights groups, but wiping out cultures and traditions with millenary roots is not a smaller challenge for the international community. However, Middle Eastern Christians, especially those of the young generation, have not lost all hope. It is true that some of them left Iraq and Syria, but many stay, hoping for a return to their homes, universities, jobs and businesses. This study aims to show the scale of persecution on Christians in the Middle East and their current legal status, but also tries to impart ideas for preserving Christianity in the region, based on the attitude of young Middle-Eastern Christians towards the issue.

The presence of Jansenism in a number of contemporary novels should lead to questioning the notion of post-secularity rather than illustrating it. The study of three of these novels (P. Quignard’s Tous les Matins du monde, L. Salvayre’s La Puissance des mouches and C. Pujade-Renaud’s Le Désert de la Grâce) cannot be limited to interpreting them as heralds of a return to religion which some see as a defining feature of post-secularity while others deem it insufficient to define the notion. The analysis of the links between the royal authority and Port-Royal makes it possible to highlight the interest of novelists in the theme of persecution and the resistance of individuals to intolerance, while remaining at a distance from 17th century theological debates. Beyond being a plea for freedom of conscience, these texts put it into perspective in a secularized democratic society that fails to conceive the place of the religious, or to conceive of itself outside that place. Literature thus shows the strength of fiction and art when it comes to considering man’s place in the world.

Hundreds of thousands of refugees from Nazi German occupied Europe were met with various degrees of understanding and openness in many countries around the world. Those who ended up in the Soviet Union – a country still paralyzed by the “Great Terror” of the late 1930s – or in territories occupied by the USSR under the Molotov‑Ribbentrop Pact, faced specific treatment. Many of the refugees who escaped the Nazi persecution were arrested by the Soviet authorities, accused of illegal entry or of espionage, and were enslaved in Gulag labor camps. After the Nazi occupation of the Czech lands in March 1939, followed by the outbreak of the Second World War in September of the same year, more and more Czechoslovak citizens were leaving their country for the Soviet Union. Thousands of Czechoslovak Jews were among them. Soon after crossing the border or after the arrival of the Soviet occupiers, they faced the same fate as other refugees – arrests and years of hard labor in the most remote areas of the USSR. The rescue for some of them came, paradoxically, after the German attack on the Soviet Union. The Soviet leadership, compelled by the Czechoslovak government‑in‑exile, allowed the establishment of a Czechoslovak military brigade within the Soviet army and granted amnesty to Czechoslovak citizens in the Gulag in 1942. Czech Jews were strongly represented in the unit, distinguished themselves in the battles on the Eastern Front, and helped to defeat Nazi Germany and its Allies. Many of those who survived the harsh conditions of the Gulag died in these battles. Based on interviews with the survivors and their families and on recently discovered archive materials, the present study describes the stories of several Czechoslovak Jews who sought refuge from the Nazis in the USSR.

The following article provides an overview of the legal situation of the Jewish population in Upper Silesia, Saarland and the Free City of Danzig. All three areas were under the influence of the League of Nations in the interwar period. Firstly, it outlines how the protection of minorities, as enshrined in the Treaty of Versailles, among others, affected the respective territories in the interwar period in the 1930s. Secondly, it is shown how the Jews attempted to resist anti-Jewish legal measures within this legal framework of minority protection. It is shown that the legal instrument of petitioning the League of Nations was frequently used, but had little impact on the progressive disenfranchisement of the Jews in the 1930s.

Poniższy artykuł stanowi zestawienie sytuacji prawnej ludności żydowskiej na Górnym Śląsku, w Saarze i Wolnym Mieście Gdańsku. Wszystkie trzy obszary w okresie międzywojennym znajdowały się pod wpływem Ligi Narodów. Po pierwsze, nakreślono, w jaki sposób ochrona mniejszości, zapisana m.in. w traktacie wersalskim, wpłynęła na odpowiednie terytoria w okresie międzywojennym w latach 30. XX wieku. Po drugie, pokazano, w jaki sposób Żydzi próbowali oprzeć się antyżydowskim środkom prawnym w tych ramach prawnych ochrony mniejszości. Wykazano, że instrument prawny w postaci składania petycji do Ligi Narodów był często wykorzystywany, ale miał niewielki wpływ na postępujące pozbawienie Żydów praw obywatelskich w latach 30. XX wieku.

Wiek XX wiąże się ze szczególnie trudnym okresem dla Kościoła greckokatolickiego obrządku bizantyjsko-ukraińskiego – prześladowaniami duchowieństwa oraz wiernych. Wroga polityka Związku Radzieckiego spowodowała, że zmuszony był on do działania w ukryciu, co przyczyniło się do rozwoju ukraińskiego patriotyzmu oraz samoidentyfikacji narodowej i religijnej znacznej liczby wiernych, zwłaszcza zamieszkujących terytorium Ukrainy Zachodniej.

The twentieth century for the Greek Catholic Church of the Byzantine-Ukrainian rite is associated with a particularly difficult period: the persecution of the clergy and the faithful people. Through the hostile policy of the Soviet Union the Church was forced to act in secret. That became the basis for the Ukrainian patriotism, national and religion self-identification for a large number of faithful living particularly in the territory of Western Ukraine.

Das zwanzigste Jahrhundert wird mit einer besonders schweren Periode für die griechisch-katholische Kirche des byzantinisch-ukrainischen Ritus, d.h. mit der Verfolgung der Geistlichen und Laien, verbunden. Die feindliche Politik der Sowjetunion hat bewirkt, dass die Kirche zur Untergrundaktivität gezwungen war, was zur Entwicklung des ukrainischen Vaterlandsliebe sowie der nationalen und religiösen Selbstidentifikation einer ansehnlichen Anzahl von Gläubigen (besonders unter der in der westlichen Ukraine wohnenden Bevölkerung) beigetragen hat.

The study examines a classic work of Czech literature, a Svatopluk Čech short story in verse,called Lešetínský kovář (The Blacksmith of Lešetín), in the historical context of its inception, content, publication and also reading, i.e. understanding. It notes the bias of this work which defined the basic principles of Czech border patrol literature. Border patrol literature dates back to the specific reality of Czech-German national conflict in the end of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century. It also remarks that this work has not drifted into obscurity in subsequent decades and has remained popular for several generations.

The etiology of cybercrime is complex and multidimensional and depends on the im-pact of mass culture changing in terms of IT diffusion and uncontrolled use of social media. The dynamic development of the Internet has made cyberspace an area of intense stalker activity. In the provisions of the Criminal Code, the legislator has defined the penalties relat-ed to the criminal act of stalking and cyberstalking. The aim of the considerations presented in the following article was to determine whether the legal norms are sufficient to fight these phenomena in social space. The article discusses ant-stalking laws in Poland and selected European countries. The publication also contains the most important theses regarding the reasons for the increase in the number of crimes related to harassment, their seriousness, trends and ways of preventing this phenomenon.

Etiologia cyberprzestępczości ma charakter złożony i wielowymiarowy a ponadto zależy od wpływu kultury masowej zmieniającej się w perspektywie upowszechniania IT i niekontro-lowanego korzystania z nowych mediów. Dynamiczny rozwój Internetu spowodował, że cyberprzestrzeń stała się obszarem intensywnych działań stalkerów. W przepisach Kodeksu Karne-go, ustawodawca określił dolegliwości karne związane z czynem zabronionym jakim jest stalking i cyberstalking. Celem przedstawionych rozważań było ustalenie czy normy prawne są wystarczające do zwalczania tego zjawiska w przestrzeni społecznej. Artykuł omawia stalking jako przestępstwo oraz kary jakie grożą za jego popełnienie w Polsce i wybranych krajach europejskich. W publikacji zawarto także najważniejsze tezy dotyczące powodów wzrostu liczby przestępstw związanych z nękaniem, ich rozmiary, tendencje oraz sposoby zapobiegania zjawisku.

В статье затрагивается проблема опровержения негативного восприятия волка у жителей Аляски в романе Ника Джанса Ромео по имени Ромео. Уничижительное восприятие существования волка берет свое начало в преследовании этого хищника, которое началось в XVII веке. Документальный роман Ника Янса повествует о семилетнем сосуществовании жителей Джуно на Аляске с одиноким, неприрученным волком. Этот роман развенчивает стереотипные, негативные представления о волках. Эта песня является важным голосом в комплексе мер по защите волков на Аляске и литературной иллюстрацией этапов постепенных изменений того, как люди воспринимают волков – от негативного до позитивного отношения к ним.

The article deals with the issue of refuting the negative perception of the wolf among the inhabitants of Alaska in the novel A Wolf Called Romeo by Nick Jans. The pejorative perception of the wolf’s existence has its source in the persecution of this predator that began in the 17th century. Nick Jans’ non-fiction novel relates to the seven-year coexistence of Juneau residents in Alaska with a lone, untamed wolf. This novel demythologizes stereotypical, negative beliefs about wolves. This song is an important voice on the policy of protecting wolves in Alaska and is a literary illustration of the stages of gradual change in the way people perceive wolves from a negative to an affirmative attitude.
