Portrait of Europe comes at an opportune moment, when the political wranglings attending the formation of a supra-national organisation are bringing constantly to the fore the differences of national temperament and tradition. To understand our neighbours we must first get to know them; and we could not find a gayer, wittier or more penetrating guide than this scholarly and broad-minded writer. His acute observation of national modes of thought, prejudices and even jealousies is supported by examples from their language, literature and histories; and yet he never fails to show the wood as well as the trees, to make clear the real unity of culture and ideals which must be grasped and developed and made present, so that the family solidarity of Europe may be given concrete political expression.

GERMAN EDITION PUBLISHED IN 1988 BY CAMPUS-VERLAG. From the author's prologue: For a long time I was »anti-European«. At the end of the war, as anti-fascism developed into movements promoting European federalism, I wrote an article that appeared in Les lettres francaises in 1946. It bore the categorical title: "There is no more Europe." I had belonged to the Resistance and was now a communist. For me, for us, Europe was a lying word ... I had fought against what Hitler called »the new Europe«. I considered old Europe to be the nucleus of imperialism and oppression rather than the cradle of democracy and freedom. ... Later, Europe had been divided by the Cold War and the Stalinist Ice Age. But what haunted me in the years 1948-1951 and distracted me from my split regarding Europe was the development under Stalin, which destroyed all my hopes. It expressed itself in renewed political purges and inquisition processes in Budapest, Sofia and Prague. During that time, I lived through the tragedy of those who can neither remain true to nor give up their faith. I noticed the increasingly blatant contradictions between the idea of communism and its reality.

ALFRED DE ZAYAS: The extensive journalistic and historical activity of Ukrainians in exile further confirm the results of the investigations carried out by the War Crimes Bureau in 1941. Roman Ilnytzkyi's study condemns both the murders perpetrated in the Ukraine by the SS and the NKVD murders in Lvov. A collection of documents dealing with the Russian colonialism in the Ukraine devotes an entire chapter to the liquidation of Ukrainian political prisoners by the NKVD, not only in Lvov but also in Vinnitsa, Solotschiv, and a dozen other localities. It reproduces numerous reports of Ukrainian eyewitnesses living today in the United States, Canada, and the Federal Republic of German. // THE AUTHOR: The reader who feels bound by the hitherto generally expressed political opinions about German Ostpolitik must be pointed out from the outset that he is encountering new points of view here. First, the attempt is made to prove that the alleged unity of National-Socialist Ostpolitik did not exist at all. Rather, it was very differentiated and represented by various, often strongly opposing currents. The fateful struggle between Hitler and Rosenberg over the direction of German Ostpolitik had already been fundamentally decided before the outbreak of the German-Soviet war. From the outset, Hitler's victory over Rosenberg greatly jeopardized German political and military success in the East. To the detriment of historical knowledge, no one has pointed out this fact to date, so that the German Ostpolitik has so far been withheld from the public in all its diversity. The prevailing view that German Ostpolitik was based on Rosenberg's plan to divide the USSR into national states is a historical misjudgment. // The reader should also be advised that the historical-political insights on which this volume is based must be viewed as the result of the overall research, i.e. also of the material that is only presented in the second volume.

Magda Lupescu (born Elena Lupescu; 3/15 September 1899 – 29 June 1977), later officially known as Princess Elena of Romania, was the mistress and later wife of King Carol II of Romania. // The love between Carol II and "Duduia" Elena Lupescu made history. The redheaded mistress was said to be the face of sin crowned in red strands, the gray eminence behind the ten years of Carol's reign. She characterized herself simply: "I am the woman with red hair who passionately loves Carol". // It is the essence of my life, it is the divine talisman and in times of difficulty it is my ultimate refuge. This love is such that I cannot even imagine life without it. I desperately need her, moment by moment. It is indispensable to me. It is flesh of my flesh. This woman brings me infinite joy", said Carol II about Elena Lupescu, the woman for whom he renounced the throne of Romania. [published in 1918 by Editura »Jurnal de București«]

from the introduction: Some time ago, the excellent French publishing house Armand Colin published the small handbooks by G. Dupont-Ferrier on the formation of the French state and French unity, by G. Bourgin on the formation of Italian unity, and later this collection was supplemented by »Die deutsche Einheit« completed by P. Benaerts. Based i those volumes it seemed necessary to me to also prepare a work on Romanian unity, which was clearly the main problem of national history ... I hastily wrote a small book entitled "A riddle and a miracle of history: the Romanian people". , in which I was obliged to reopen the problem, so often discussed for more than a century, of the origin of a nation whose obscure past during the first centuries of the Middle Ages made the all too easy saying that peoples who have no history are happy, so strikingly refuted. Several editions that this work has undergone (French, Romanian, German and Italian) have proved its usefulness. [published in 1944 in Bucharest by the »N. Iorga Institute for World History«]

Poland’s Western Provinces are from south to north Polish Silesia, Poznania, and Pomorze; certain areas outside the three provinces have been incorporated, along with them, in the area Germany has seized. Further particulars are given on p. 20 in the earlier part of this essay, and the maps should be consulted. From the start it is important to remember that the three provinces which Hitler has incorporated in his Third Reich are, as stated in the essay, “the very cradle of the Polish race and of the Polish State, the moat and rampart of the whole Slavonic world against the perpetual Tush to the East’— Drang nach Osten—of the German hordes, and the part of Poland with the most West-European character politically, socially, culturally, and economically.” The province called Pomorze ( = sea province) has of recent years had great attention drawn to it in Great Britain and the United States from the fact that Gdynia, Poland’s self-created “wonder-port,” and potentially one of the greatest ports of the world, was (and is, though the Germans now call it Gotenhafen) situated on its small sea front. Nearby is Danzig, a name of romantic interest to the British people since the Middle Ages. Completely Germanized, it is no longer the great port it was two or three years ago when its vital interests were Polish.

Only the Prussian constitution of 1848 made the Poles living in Prussia Prussian citizens; they had "no longer to be regarded as Prussian Poles, but as Polish Prussians". The legal situation that was created at that time has fundamentally not changed over the past decades. However, general legal understanding has progressed over time. In particular, the international treaties that ended the World War created the concept of "national minorities" and introduced it into practical politics. The "national minorities" of Prussia and, thus, of the German Reich include those German Reich or Prussian nationals who are willing to preserve and cultivate their own and unique Polish nationality in the foreign state association - according to descent, customs, customs and traditions and to continue to exist within it as a nationally united Polish community. In terms of constitutional law, the Polish minority in Prussia can only be described as “Polish Prussians” in the sense of Prussian nationals of Polish origin. Anyone who possesses Prussian or German nationality — possession of which is a conceptual prerequisite for someone being able to count themselves among the national minorities in Prussia or Germany — cannot at the same time be “Pole”, i.e. non-German; On the other hand, anyone who is Poles, i.e. foreigners, does not belong to the national minority and therefore cannot derive any rights from this characteristic. "Member of a minority" and "foreigner" are two mutually exclusive terms: Every member of the minority is also a citizen of the state in which he resides. A “Prussian Pole” could therefore not exist in itself: because a “Pole” living in Prussia cannot also be a “Prussian” as a foreigner! The antithesis: "Prussian Poles or Polish Prussians?" is therefore legally unfounded and untenable.
More...The question of Danzig and the Polish "corridor" is still very topical. Despite all that has been written on the subject by experts from the nations directly concerned and those who, belonging to distant countries, have been able to have a relative objectivity, no solution has put an end to the debates. The European Centre for the Carnegie Endowment has recognized the importance of the problem and on several occasions has requested the assistance of technicians and specialists in the field to deal with this subject. It seems interesting today to collect the conferences and the articles thus obtained. // [PUBLISHED in 1932 by the European Centre of the Carnegie Foundation, Department for International Relations and Education (Paris) as issue of the series „Publications for International Conciliation“ ]
