Winner of the 2020 Ernst Fraenkel Prize from the Wiener
Holocaust Library Jewish Childhood in Kraków is
the first book to tell the history of Kraków in the second World
War through the lens of ...Jewish children's experiences. Here,
children assume center stage as historical actors whose
recollections and experiences deserve to be told, analyzed, and
treated seriously. Sliwa scours archives to tell their story,
gleaning evidence from the records of the German authorities,
Polish neighbors, Jewish community and family, and the children
themselves to explore the Holocaust in German-occupied Poland and
in Kraków in particular. A microhistory of a place, a people, and
daily life, this book plumbs the decisions and behaviors of
ordinary people in extraordinary times. Offering a window onto
human relations and ethnic tensions in times of rampant violence,
Jewish Childhood in Kraków is an effort both to understand
the past and to reflect on the position of young people during
humanitarian crises.

After the Holocaust, Jewish survivors in Poland relied on external help, including that of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (the Joint, JDC). They wrote letters to JDC both to request ...and to thank the American-based Jewish organization for i.a. food, clothes, medicine, and assistance with emigration from Poland. Many of those letters also contain autobiographical information about the authors, themselves Holocaust survivors and their families. The descriptions of wartime experiences and survival strategies as well as of immediate postwar life (1945–1949) entail details and snippets of historical and genealogical value. Therefore, the letters examined in this article offer both individual histories and a collective portrait of the Jewish population in postwar Poland. The epistolary material also captures JDC’s activities and their importance for reviving and sustaining Jewish life after the Holocaust.
The aim of this article is to present an approach to develop and verify a method of formal modeling of cyber threats directed at computer systems. Moreover, the goal is to prove that the method ...enables one to create models resembling the behavior of malware that support the detection process of selected cyber attacks and facilitate the application of countermeasures. The most common cyber threats targeting end users and terminals are caused by malicious software, called malware. The malware detection process can be performed either by matching their digital signatures or analyzing their behavioral models. As the obfuscation techniques make the malware almost undetectable, the classic signature-based anti-virus tools must be supported with behavioral analysis. The proposed approach to modeling of malware behavior is based on colored Petri nets. This article is addressed to cyber defense researchers, security architects and developers solving up-to-date problems regarding the detection and prevention of advanced persistent threats.
This paper discusses challenges and success factors for service oriented architecture (SOA) implementation in network centric environment. The authors identify 9 fundamental challenges for the SOA ...approach in order to make the biggest benefit for the NATO NEC (NNEC) and increase the mission effectiveness to the highest extent. They cover the areas of applicability to existing military communications and the ability to reflect military processes. Their range is quite broad, pointing out technological as well as SOA governmental problems. The authors emphasize that any COTS solution available on the market today is able to overcome all of them at once. However, they propose solutions to some of the problems and present quick wins that can speed up the process of achieving capabilities in a heterogeneous multinational NEC environment.
The paper discusses how Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) techniques can support survivability of military networks, both on the strategic / operational and ...tactical levels. In the introduction the term survivability has been described. Then the attention is paid to the possibilities of supporting the following situations: mobility of users (individual soldiers), network segments (entire military units at low levels of command), service mobility and recovery from the destruction of key network components. These article describes both the possibilities associated with the use of technologies widely adapted in the civil market and the challenges of using the technology in specific military applications.
