Calm before the storm …the last summer of the 2nd Republic of Poland

[svistakk]

Hello!

From the website http://www.summer39.com one can download for free (in ePub, Mobi, PDF or read it on-line) new eBook by Institute of National Remembrance Branch Office in Rzeszow (Poland): “Calm before the storm …the last summer of the 2nd Republic of Poland”.

Everything began in 2012 with a classic exhibition telling about two last months of the Second Republic of Poland, but seen not from the perspective of grand politics, but from the perspective of what an average citizen encountered on a regular basis in pre-war Poland.

More than once, while reading books and historic papers one can have an impression than in July and August 1939, the whole country did nothing but wait for the war to come. It is worth realizing that the General commanders-in-chief of the Nazi Germany did not know until the very last moment what day and time they would attack Poland. The citizens did not even know whether the storm, whose angry sounds were to be heard over the horizon, would eventually come, or just pass.

We hope that thanks to the use of new communication techniques, we will be able to reach as big group of recipients as possible who are interested in the topic and that we will encourage them to search for themselves the signs of the great history.

Best regards
