The fourth volume of the synthetic work „A history of the University in Europe. Universities since 1945“ presents not merely a comprehensive overview of the development of post-war higher education but it also leaves us with a number of unanswered questions on the topic itself, as well as the means, possibilities and aims of the historiography of modern universities in general. The author critically interprets the main areas in which profound factual errors and manipulations typical for this prestigious, yet political rather than historical work, occur. In part two of his contribution, the author formulates fundamental premises for critical, although primary resource based, comparative research of post-war universities as a unique, supreme and scientifically oriented form of higher educational preparation of the elites in a slowly, but nonetheless academically merging Europe. He explains that universities are not merely market-oriented institutions of higher learning and producers of easily applied outcomes of research but also intellectual environments with important links and roles for society as a whole.

After World War II, high schools in the Gdansk region had to be built virtually from scratch. However, it is evident there were some major differences between the new and old districts, where the schools’ tasks went beyond teaching. Their role was to integrate local communities and give them a sense of stability. The former secondary school districts began their activities on the basis of pre-war organisational structures, and were established very quickly, almost immediately after the war ended. However, the network of grammar schools in new counties formed much more slowly, although in the 1945/46 school year there was already a secondary school in each county town. The intensity of the development of secondary schools can be shown in numbers. In the 1944/1945 school year, 14 secondary schools were established, and a year later there were already 28. With the development of institutional schools, their organisational development followed. Within a year, the number of students nearly trebled. Quickly, though not as strongly, there was an increase in the number of teachers. The major breakthrough for these institutions was 1948, in which, by decision of the school and party authorities, Poland experienced the reorganisation of general school education.

Artykuł przypomina genezę i przebieg konfliktu izraelsko-arabskiego w latach 60., w tym Wojnę Sześciodniową oraz stosunek emigracji polskiej w Londynie do wydarzeń. Autor artykułu porównuje antysemicką politykę władz komunistycznych w Polsce z postawami proniepodległościowej Emigracji Polskiej w Londynie. Polskie środowiska emigracyjne zdecydowanie stoją po stronie izraelskiej.

Miasto socjalistyczne kojarzy się głównie z imperialną architekturą Mińska czy wschodniego Berlina, funkcjonalnym podziałem dzielnic, monumentalnymi budynkami publicznymi bądź blokowiskami. Artykuł ma na celu rekonstrukcję wizji rozwoju miasta w pierwszym okresie powojennym 1945–1949. Na przykładzie Łodzi, największego miasta Polski przy zburzonej Warszawie i robotniczej stolicy przemysłu włókienniczego, rekonstruuje prasowe dyskursy modernizacyjne, pokazując, że w pierwszym okresie odbudowy proponowano skromne wizje rozwoju miasta, dostosowane do potrzeb mieszkańców i wygody życia codziennego. Dopiero z zaostrzeniem kursu politycznego po 1948 r. zostały one zastąpione przez śmiałe wizje socjalistycznego miasta, gigantycznych inwestycji i budowy nowych dzielnic dla robotniczych mas.

A socialist city is mainly associated with the imperial architecture of Minsk or East Berlin, the functional division into districts, monumental public buildings, or housing developments. This article aims at restructuring the prospect of city development in the first post-war period, i.e. 1945-1949. Based on the example of Łódź – Poland’s biggest city in view of the demolished Warsaw as well as the working-class capital of textiles – I reconstruct modernisation discourses in press, showing that in the first period of the reconstruction, modest suggestions as to the city development were made, ones adjusted to the needs of its inhabitants and the comfort of everyday life. It was only with the aggravation of the political course after the year 1948 when these were replaced with more daring prospects of a socialist city, gigantic investments, and the construction of new districts for the working-class masses.
