Paralleljustiz, Antidiskriminierungsgesetze, Rechtstransfer - das Thema 'Recht und Diversität' verbindet unterschiedlichste aktuelle Diskussionen und erweist sich als zentral für den gesellschaftlichen Umgang mit Differenz und Gleichheit. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes - aus der Geschichts- und Rechtswissenschaft sowie den Jüdischen Studien - rücken dieses Thema in eine historische Perspektive und nehmen Konstellationen und Umgangsweisen mit Rechtsvielfalt von der Frühen Neuzeit bis in die Gegenwart in den Blick. Beleuchtet werden Situationen des Kulturkontakts und des interreligiösen Zusammenlebens sowie global agierende Akteur*innen und Organisationen in Europa, Asien, den Amerikas und Afrika.

What was life like in the territories annexed by Russia in the 19th century? What were the views and attitudes of the Poles living in lands belonging to the Russian Empire? How did people arrange their lives when they did not take up revolutionary action and foreswore an open struggle with the Tsarist regime? Could one be a Polish patriot without fighting gun in hand for independence? The Russians believed that Poles were genetically preordained to be anti-Russian. Even in the west of Europe this charge of morbid Russophobia was taken to be the rule. It seems that this was one of the greatest falsehoods that Russian imperial propaganda managed to implement in the West. Leszek Zasztowt unfolds in this fascinating biography a much more complex reality through the life story of the medical scientist, academic and political activist Józef Mianowski (1804-1879), a man who served Russia and loved Poland.

Die Historiker György Dalos, Ilko-Sascha Kowalczuk und Jean-Yves Potel haben untersucht, welche Auswirkungen die vier großen revolutionären Momente der Arbeiterbewegung in Mittel- undOsteuropa auf die Entwicklung der Demokratie in ganz Europa hatten: 1953 DDR, 1956 Ungarn, 1968 CSSR und 1980 Polen. Sie sind bis heute Wegweiser für den schwierigen Prozess der Demokratisierung, der von erheblichen Rückschlägen geprägt ist - auch in Ländern, die mittlerweile der EU angehören. Die Arbeiter- und Volksaufstände zeigten trotz der sowjetischen Panzer, die sie beendeten, Wirkung: In Ungarn wurden Arbeiterräte gegründet, in der CSSR hieß die Hoffnung »Sozialismus mit menschlichem Antlitz«. Die Bevölkerung stand mehrheitlich an der Seite der Reformer und Aufständischen. Solidarnosc ist ein bemerkenswerter Sonderfall - er wirkt wie ein Vorzeichen für das Ende der sowjetischen Vorherrschaft und den Beginn eines neuen Europas. Heute ist Polen wieder mit nationalistischen Ideologien, Illiberalität und der Schwächung der Rechtsstaatlichkeit konfrontiert. Um dem zu begegnen, hilft ein Blick auf die Menschen, die sich dem Totalitarismus in Berlin, Budapest, Prag und Danzig widersetzt haben.

FÄLLT DIE UKRAINE, FÄLLT AUCH EUROPA! Seit dem Einmarsch der russischen Armee im Februar 2022 ist Wolodymyr Selenskyj zum Protagonisten des Widerstands gegen Putins Angriff geworden, der nicht nur die Ukraine zerstört, sondern auch alle europäischen Demokratien bedroht. In seinen Reden, mit denen er sich kurz vor und direkt nach der Invasion an die eigene Bevölkerung wie auch an andere Staaten und sogar an die Russen richtete, erweist er sich als standhafter Verteidiger seines Landes und der durch diesen Krieg gefährdeten Werte wie Freiheit,Demokratie und Menschlichkeit.

When Gustav II Adolf and his troops began to conquer parts of Livonia at the beginning of the Thirty Years' War and successfully took Riga in 1621, no one knew if the Swedes would stay or if Poland would retake the land. However, the Swedes remained in control for over 90 years, until 1710, when Russia took over. During this time, Livonia experienced many events that shaped the country, including the prosperous times under Queen Christina, the shilling catastrophe caused by incredibly large quantities of counterfeit copper shillings from Wallachia and the repeated outbreaks of plague. These events had a significant impact on the small circulating coins of the region."1000 Shillings Vol. 1" provides a detailed examination of the incredible variety of shillings and farthings (dreipölker) that were used in Livonia during this time. The book also considers the equivalent coins from Swedish-occupied Elbing and the associated shilling counterfeits. It takes a top-down approach, starting with the material-specific features of the coins and then moving on to the manufacturing and minting processes. The coins are identified down to the level of individual dies. The applicability of the book contents to coins from other regions and times is emphasized.As results of this study, a number of previously undescribed coin varieties have been identified and observations resulting from the comparison of the coins are combined with historical events. Additionally, a new method for estimating the quantities of coins produced at the time and a new, universally applicable structuring system for coins are introduced. The findings are supported by a large number of detailed photos and illustrations.The separate catalogue "1000 Shillings Vol. 2" supplements this volume by presenting the entire database with more than 1400 coins and summarises the results for each coin in tabular form with photos.

Especially during the first half of the Swedish occupation of Livonia and Elbing, huge quantities of small coins were needed in the region for trade and payment of the military. In the course of time, this money was distributed over large parts of Eastern Europe and is nowadays rediscovered both as stray finds and as hoards. The great variability of the features shows how many dies were used for minting at the time and gives an idea of the true quantities produced. Their extent would be impressive even today when modern minting methods are taken into account.This catalogue is the supplement to the first volume of 1000 Shillings, in which the many characteristics of the coins covered are discussed in detail. In fact, it offers more than a third more content than the title suggests, but it is strongly recommended to have the first volume on hand to follow the examinations and descriptions of numerous cross-references. Together, the two volumes offer such a comprehensive overview of these coins as has not been described before and many variants are described for the first time.

Leading up to World War II, two Polish men witnessed the targeted extermination of Jews under Adolf Hitler and the German Reich before the reality of the Holocaust was widely known. Raphael Lemkin, a Jewish lawyer who coined the term "genocide," and Jan Karski, a Catholic member of the Polish resistance, independently shared this knowledge with Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Having heard false rumors of wartime atrocities before, the leaders met the messengers with disbelief and inaction, leading to the eventual murder of more than six million people.Messengers of Disaster draws upon little-known texts from an array of archives, including the International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva and the International Tracing Service in Bad Arolsen. Carrying the knowledge of disaster took a toll on Lemkin and Karski, but their work prepared the way for the United Nations to unanimously adopt the first human rights convention in 1948 and influenced the language we use to talk about genocide today. Annette Becker's detailed study of these two important figures illuminates how distortions of fact can lead people to deny knowledge of what is happening in front of their own eyes.

Stutthofin keskitysleirillä natsi-Saksassa oli erityisen huono maine - vain harva selvisi paikasta elossa pois. Puolan alueella sijainneelle leirille päätyi myös suomalaisia. Veijo Johansson oli suomalainen merimies, joka joutui leirille suomalaisten ja saksalaisten yhteistyön loputtua jatkosodan aikana. Juutalainen Lily Millner puolestaan oli alun perin liettualainen, mutta päätyi sukulaissuhteiden takia asumaan Suomeen sodan jälkeen.<BR><BR>"Kaasukammion varjossa: suomalaiskohtaloita Stutthofin kuolemanleirillä" perustuu sekä Johanssonin ja Millnerin kauhistuttaviin kokemuksiin natsi-Saksan julmuuksista - ja kertoo myös Millnerin kokemuksen siitä, kuinka naispuolinen vartija pelasti hänet kaasukammiolta. <BR><BR><BR>-

Karl Karlsson Gyllenhielm var en av våra stora svenska hjältar på 1600-talet.Han var oäkta son till Karl IX och hade kunnat vara vår kung i stället för Gustav II Adolf. Det om han varit född inom äktenskapet. Karl Karlsson Gyllenhielm blev ändå väl omhändertagen och fick bästa tänkbara utbildning. Han blev sedan, av sin far, utsänd till att kriga i dom baltiska länderna. Där blev han tillfångatagen och satt i förfärliga polska fängelser i tolv år, varav mestadels i bojor. Han frisläpptes av sin kusin kung Sigismund av Polen, först efter det, att hans far Karl IX hade dött.Sedan kom hjälten Karl Karlsson Gyllenhielm att göra en strålande karriär. Han blev en storartad företagare, friherre, riksmarskalk, riksamiral, riksråd mm. Han utsågs även till domare vid ansvarsutkrävandet när regalskeppet Vasa hade förlist.Han blev en rik man med flera slott och herresäten. Byggde upp Karlbergs slott, där han sedan kom att dö. Det är slottet, som namngavs efter Karl Karlsson Gyllenhielms förnamn.

In 1982, during Martial Law, the communist authorities named as Public Enemy No. 1 not Lech Walęsa or any other Solidarity activist but rather Józef Korycki, a Robin Hood-like figure who was beloved by the locals in his home region of Podlasie. They compared him to Janosik, a Slovak bandit who robbed from the rich to give to the poor. Marek Kaminski and Ernest Szum describe Korycki's adventures, from his desertion from mandatory military service (when he kidnapped a Russian military officer!), to his days of robbing village mayors and distributing the proceeds among the local farmers, to his dramatic capture and imprisonment in Rakowiecka Prison, where he was admired by his fellow prisoners and eventually died. Korycki told Kaminski his life story when the two were in the same prison hospital ward in Rakowiecka. Korycki's life partner, Krystyna Oksiejuk, provided Kaminski and Szum with detailed testimony on Korycki's life in hiding during the years of 1979 to 1982. In addition to the narrative of Korycki's life, Kaminski and Szum also discuss the notions of ideological and social banditry and how Korycki fits into these frameworks, as well as the political history of communist Poland and the tradition of rebelling against foreign occupiers in the Podlasie region of Poland.

In this study of the mechanisms of transitional justice in Poland, Frances Millard asks: How does society come to terms with its past? How should it punish the perpetrators of oppression and acknowledge its victims? In the former communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe the task of answering these questions came down to the need to eliminate the communist parties' hold over the state, the economy and society in order to move towards democracy. Millard argues that the key step in achieving this was uncovering the truth about the previous regime's past, prosecuting the perpetrators of past crimes and providing compensation and restitution for its victims. Through the specific case of Poland, Millard provides a comprehensive assessment of the mechanisms and institutions used to achieve this, such as lustration, law enforcement through a Constitutional Tribunal and institutions dedicated to dealing with the past such as the Institute of National Remembrance. Crucially, these processes have assumed new significance in recent years after the Law and Justice Party came to power in 2015, using transitional justice as a tool of political control which has enabled the restructuring of Polish democracy.
