The aim of the article is to present the Nazi reality and its propaganda as seen through the eyes of Bruno – the hero of the novel John Boyne’s The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. The narrative shown from the perspective of a child reveals, in a unique way, the mechanics of demagogy and manipulation used by the Nazi propaganda. The symbolic fence between Bruno, the son of the concentration camp commandant, and a Jewish boy of the same age named Schmul, becomes the main theme of the novel. The story of the novel reveals the entanglement of the children in the workings of the history. Such a story construction is a starting point for the author of the article for the analysis of the complexity of propaganda measures and their influence on a young person, mainly in the affective, intellectual and social dimensions. The analysis involves not only the linguistic layer of the novel, but also the topography of the place and the characteristic use of Nazi symbols.

The fencing of the ceremonial courtyard in the Wilanów royal palace rarely attracted scholarly attention. However, a recent archaeological survey and archive inquiries brought to light new research material, which allows a more detailed description of the transformations of this part of the residence's spatial arrangement. The barrier, for the first time visible in the site plan of 1682, consisted of a row of pillars with spans filled with iron railings. After Elżbieta Sieniawska purchased the Wilanów estate, the space of the ceremonial courtyard was restricted by the construction of the palace's wings. The alterations may have included the courtyard's fence, as shown by the 17th- and 18th-century site plans and the discovery of the remains of two variants of its course during excavations. When the palace was owned by Maria Zofia and August Czartoryski and Izabela Lubomirska, the fence consisted of stone columns alternating with wooden ones; some of the pillars were later demolished or exchanged for stonework. In 1784, as a result of the construction of new pavilions at the southern wing, the fence lost its practical function and deteriorated. Destroyed during military operations in 1794, it was rebuilt almost entirely of wood. In 1801, Stanisław Kostka Potocki had both courtyards and the barrier dismantled and replaced with an oval lawn. Potocki sought to transform the setting of his residence according to the fashion of the day, that is, in the spirit of English designs he had seen during his travels and the Puławy estate with which he was familiar. His actions were intended to increase, not without an element of rivalry, the splendour of his family.

W artykule szczegółowo przedstawiono fortyfikacje bastejowe zamku Grodno w Zagórzu Śląskim. Opisano kolejne etapy ich rozbudowy, w tym nieznaną wcześniej fazę obwarowań podzamcza (tzw. zamku średniego), datowaną na około 1500 r., kiedy to powstał parkan z dwiema cylindrycznymi basztami i pierwszym domem bramnym oraz budynkiem stajni. Największe przekształcenia powiązano z działalnością budowlaną rodziny von Logau, która w 1547 r. weszła w posiadanie zamku i dokonała jego renesansowej przebudowy i rozbudowy o dolny człon podzamcza. Kolejne istotne zmiany miały miejsce w XIX w., kiedy to zamek został uratowany przed całkowitą rozbiórką i przystosowany do zwiedzania przez turystów. Działania te wpłynęły m.in. na wygląd jego obwarowań i otoczenia. W tekście przedstawiono etapy powstania obwodu bastejowego. Odniesiono się również do śladów po nieistniejących jego elementach. Poddano obserwacji materiał budowlany, jak formaty cegieł i rodzaj zaprawy. W toku analiz wykorzystano technologie fotogrametrii naziemnej i lotniczej pozwalających na opracowanie wirtualnych modeli badanych obiektów. Na podstawie danych pozyskanych z lotniczego skanowania laserowego opracowano wizualizację modelu terenu wokół zamku. Dzięki cyfrowym modelom uzyskano informacje, które nie były czytelne w trakcie prowadzenia badań architektonicznych tradycyjnymi metodami. Autorzy wyrażają potrzebę przeprowadzenia dalszych badań, w szczególności archeologicznych, które pozwoliłyby na rozpoznanie niewidocznych reliktów zamku.

The article presents the roundel bastion fortifications of Grodno Castle in Zagórze Śląskie in detail. It also describes subsequent stages of their extensions, including the previously unknown phase of fortifications of the outer bailey (the so-called middle castle), dated to around 1500, when a fence with two cylindrical towers, the first gatehouse, and a stable building were built. The largest transformations were connected with the construction activity of the von Logau family, which in 1547 came into possession of the castle and made its renaissance reconstruction as well as its extension by the lower part of the outer bailey. Other significant changes took place in the $19^{th}$ century when the castle was saved from complete demolition and adapted for visiting by tourists. These actions influenced, inter alia, the appearance of its fortifications and surroundings. The text presents the stages of the roundel bastion perimeter construction. There are also references to the traces of its nonexistent elements. Building material such as brick formats and the type of mortar were observed. In the course of analyses, technologies of terrestrial and aerial photogrammetry were used, which made it possible to develop virtual models of the researched objects. On the basis of the data obtained from laser aerial scanning, a visualization of the terrain model around the castle was developed. Thanks to digital models, information, which was hardly legible during architectural research using traditional methods, was obtained. The authors express the need for further studies, in particular archaeological ones, which would allow discovering these relics of the castle which are still hidden.

Z punktu widzenia Konwencji genewskiej z 1951 r. legalność muru granicznego może być kwestionowana tylko wtedy, gdy konsekwencje jego istnienia są sprzeczne z wyrażoną w art. 33 tej konwencji zasadą non-refoulement. Taka sytuacja może mieć miejsce, gdy dojdzie do jednoczesnego spełnienia kilku warunków. Po pierwsze, przyjmie się liberalną interpretację zasady non-refoulement, zgodnie z którą wynikający z niej zakaz zawracania na granicę obejmuje także osoby próbujące wkroczyć na terytorium danego państwa po to, by skorzystać w nim z ochrony. Po drugie, wzniesiony mur stanie na granicy z państwem, w którym takim osobom grozi niebezpieczeństwo z jednego z powodów wskazanych w art. 33. Po trzecie, państwo, które zbudowało mur, będzie go wykorzystywać nie do regulacji ruchu granicznego, lecz jako środek mający w połączeniu z innymi praktykami służyć odstraszeniu potencjalnych uchodźców. Ocena skuteczności muru jako instrumentu służącego ograniczeniu napływu uchodźców wypada niezbyt korzystnie. Z jednej strony umożliwia on dużo bardziej skuteczną kontrolę ruchu granicznego i generalnie zapobiega przedostawaniu się osób szukających ochrony na terytorium państwa, umożliwiając temu państwu uniknięcie ciążących na nim zobowiązań, przynajmniej zgodnie z tradycyjnym rozumieniem zasady non-refoulement. Z drugiej strony nie może jednak zdjąć z państwa obowiązku rozpatrzenia wniosków o ochronę składanych przez osoby, które wkraczają na przejścia graniczne lub w inny sposób przedostają się na jego terytorium, przynajmniej na krótko.

As a rule, international law does not prohibit building border walls. However, the consequences of construction or existence of a wall, when assessed from the point of view of some customary norms or a treaty, may indirectly affect its legality. One of such treaties is the 1951 Refugee Convention (the Convention). The analysis demonstrates that it is not possible to call a wall illegal in the light of Articles 26 (freedom of movement) and 31 para. 2 (refugees unlawfully in the country of refuge) of the Convention, since, inter alia, both apply to the people already present in the territory of a given State. The only provision of the Convention which under certain conditions may allow to question the legality of existence of a border wall is Article 33 of the Convention, which establishes the principle of non-refoulement. To make it possible, however, several conditions need to be fulfilled simultaneously. First, a broad interpretation of Article 33 para. 1 must be adopted, which covers also the people who come at the border but have not crossed it yet. Second, the wall must be placed on the border with a State where the life or freedom of at least some of the people seeking refuge in the State building the wall may be threatened on account of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion. Third, the policy of the State which has built it must indicate that the State does not use the wall simply as a means of regulation of the mass influx of people seeking refuge but as a preventive measure combined with other measures aimed at deterring the would-be refugees. The assessment of the effectiveness of the wall as an instrument designed to curb the mass influx of refugees is not very favourable. Undoubtedly, as a manifestation of sovereign power of a State over its territory, the border fence allows the State to control its border traffic much more effectively. It also helps to keep a large number of people seeking refugee protection “from the procedural door”, by not allowing them to enter the territory of the State building the wall and preventing the rise of any obligations towards them on behalf of said State – at least according to a more traditional interpretation of the principle of non-refoulement. Still, the wall does not relieve the building State from the obligation to at least process the claims for refugee protection submitted by the people who enter border crossings or get to the other side of the border at least for a short time in another way. Thus, as such, it is not a fully effective measure which would completely absolve the State from any obligations towards the people coming at the border and trying to cross it.
