The American-Croatian painter Maksimilian Vanka, 1 1889-1963, or Maxo for his friends, composed together with his American wife Margaret, her father dr. Stetten DeWitt and his friends Louis and ...Stella Adamic, his most enigmatic work, the "WORLD WAR II" collage. The collage originated at the reunion of Maxo Vanka, his wife Margaret, his friends Louis and Stella Adamic, with Margaret's father Dr. Stetten DeWitt, after his return from Europe at war. The party was exhilarated with Dr. Stetten's safe escape from Korcula (Dalmatia) to Paris, Le Havre and on board of the French liner lie de France to New York, and preoccupied with the imminent World War.

Profesorju Henryju A. Christianu je prerana smrt preprečila objavo monografije o življenju in delu Louisa Adamiča. Njegova bogata zapuščina – zbrano gradivo o Adamiču – pa kljub temu predstavlja ...dragoceno osnovo za nadaljevanje njegovega raziskovalnega dela. Njegovi hčerki Judith Christian in Carolyn Needham sta darovali njegovo gradivo ustanovi Immigration History Research Center (IHRC) na Univerzi v Minnesoti. Professor Rudolph J. Vecoli, direktor IHRC, je poslano gradivo vključil v obstoječi arhiv IHRC in hkrati ustanovil »Sklad Louisa Adamiča in Henryja Christiana za slovenskoameriške študije«. Sklad naj bi podpiral slovenske ali ameriške podiplomske študente pri urejanju slovenskoameriškega gradiva v arhivu IHRC ter pri raziskovanju slovenskoameriške zgodovine in kulture.
Prispevek se opira na objavo nekaterih pisem (v avtentičnemu prepisu), ki jih je Louis Adamič poslal svojemu nečaku Tinetu Kurentu v letih 1946 - 50. Tako vsebina kot tudi nekatere pravopisne napake ...v pismih odkrivajo - poleg podatkov o Adamičevih tedanjih dejavnosti in načrtih - tudi njegova čustvena stanja v trenutkih, ki jih je pisal.
The interpretation of symbols on the collage “The Beginnings of World War II” by the American-Croatian painter Maxo Vanka is the story about the escape of Dr. Stetten, Vanka’s father-in-law, from the ...occupied France via the MS Ile de France, and about the exposal of a nazi agent, Douglas Chandler, by Vanka and his friend, the American-Slovene writer Louis Adamic.

The Melancholy engraving by Dürer and Agrippa is hiding its gematrical messages not only in the numbers of its magic square but also in the numbers forming its modular dimensions. If the sphere on ...the lower left side of the composition is 10 modules in diameter, the magic square measures 8 by 8 modules, and the print is 70 by 55 modules large. The circumference of the etching equals 250 and its diagonal 89 modules. In the numbers 55, 70, 250 and 89 are hidden gematrical messages, prayers, cursing, the name of the Melancholia itself and the names of its authors.

The polyhedron with triangular and pentagonal faces on the Duerer's "MELENCOLIA I" engraving is said to be a cube with two opposite corners cut off. A cube has 6 faces, 12 sides and 8 corners. A ...cube with two truncated tips has 8 faces, 18 sides and 12 corners. In the above numbers, the prime factors 2 and 3 are implied. The numbers 2 and 3 are symbols for human beings, male and female. The solid is a symbol for humanity. Men and women can be affected with melancholy.
In the numbers of Duerer's Melancolia magic square is hidden the Aristotle's wonder: "How come, that all the people, excelling in philosophy or in politics or in poetry or in arts, are evidently ...melancholical..."
