Roman Knoll and Juliusz Łukasiewicz – Two Visions of Poland’s Place in Europe on the Eve of the Second World War

Summary/Abstract: The subject of this article is the picture of Poland’s place in Europe at the end of 1938 and beginning of 1939, presented in two brochures published at the time by Roman Knoll and Juliusz Łukasiewicz. Both authors belonged to the group of prominent diplomats of the Second Republic of Poland. Knoll presented Poland as a country threatened by the aggression of the Third Reich; he also saw the possibility of concluding an anti-Polish German-Soviet pact. Łukasiewicz’s pamphlet, on the other hand, inscribed into the series of propaganda literature of the National Unity Camp (Obóz Zjednoczenia Narodowego), which saw the then Republic of Poland at least as a European regional power.
