Mathematics teacher Jonas Mašiotas (1897–1953) was the son of Pranas Mašiotas (1863–1940) – the famous Lithuania author of mathematical coursebooks and didactic articles as well as the a creator of books for children. JonasMašiotas studied mathematics in Germany and Switzerland. Prior to the studies, he was engaged as a teacher in Marijampol˙e, after completion of the studies – in Kaunas and during the World War II – in Vilkija. He published 2 articles in didactics of mathematics and 5 coursebooks (including one that consisted of 7 parts), edited and published the coursebook in trigonometry prepared by his father P. Mašiotas. He was one of the enthusiasts for introducing the concept of a function into the school curriculum in mathematics.

Mečys Mačernis (1897–1968) taught elementary Mathematics and Didactics at the Republican Pedagogical Institute of Klaipėda during the years 1935–1939. He studied at universities of Berlin and Königsberg, during the period of time from 1926 to 1934 he worked as a head master of teachers’ seminary in Tauragė. In 1935–1935 M. Mačernis worked as a vice-director of the Republican Pedagogical Institute of Klaipėda and since 1937 he worked there in the position of a director. Even in 1926 for students of the Teachers’ seminary, he published a methodical textbook of teaching Arithmetics. During 1925–1928 he published 3 articles about mathematics didactics. During his activity in Klaipėda, M. Mačernis prepared and in 1940 published for students of the institute a methodical textbook of teaching Arithmetics and Geometry. In 1938–1939 he completed a work about pedagogy of the Middle Ages and a large, three volume work titled ‘Didactics’. Together withthe Institute, M.Mačernis left Klaipėda that was separated from Lithuania by Hitler and went to Panevėžys, and later to Vilnius that was returned back to Lithuania. When Lithuania was occupied by the Bolsheviks, M. Mačernis was dismissed from the director position. In 1941 he was arrested and deported to far inland Russia. After the World War II he worked as a teacher of Mathematics in the Karaganda region. When M. Mačernis returned to Lithuania after deportation, he worked as a teacher of Mathematics at school in Plungė. After the year 1940 M. Mačernis did not write any scientific pedagogical work. Methodical textbooks of teaching Mathematics written by M. Mačernis presented the teachers of Lithuania actual ideas of connections established between teaching and practice, internal and inter-subjective integration that were widely discussed in Western Europe of that time.

The Third Reich

The article is devoted to the biography of General Pavlo Shandruk, an Ukrainian officer who served as a Polish contract officer in the interwar period and at the beginning of the World War II, and in 1945 became the organizer and commander of the Ukrainian National Army fighting alongside the Third Reich in the last months of the war. The author focuses on the symbolic event of 1961, which was the decoration of General Shandruk with the highest Polish (émigré) military decoration – the Virtuti Militari order, for his heroic military service in 1939. By describing the controversy and emotions among Poles and Ukrainians, which accompanied the award of the former Hitler's soldier, the author tries to answer the question of how the General Shandruk’s activities should be assessed in the perspective of the uneasy Twentieth-Century Polish-Ukrainian relations. Keywords: Pavlo Shandruk, Władysław Anders, Virtuti Militari, Ukrainian National Army, Ukrainian National Committee, contract officer.

Paris Peace Conference

We have long known that the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 “failed” in the sense that it did not prevent the outbreak of World War II. This book investigates not whether the conference succeeded or failed, but the historically specific international system it created. It explores the rules under which that system operated, and the kinds of states and empires that inhabited it. Deepening the dialogue between history and international relations theory makes it possible to think about sovereignty at the conference in new ways. Sovereignty in 1919 was about remaking “the world”—not just determining of answers demarcating the international system, but also the questions. Most histories of the Paris Peace Conference stop with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles with Germany on June 28, 1919. This book considers all five treaties produced by the conference as well as the Treaty of Lausanne with Turkey in 1923. It is organized not chronologically or geographically, but according to specific problems of sovereignty. A peace based on “justice” produced a criminalized Great Power in Germany, and a template problematically applied in the other treaties. The conference as sovereign sought to “unmix” lands and peoples in the defeated multinational empires by drawing boundaries and defining ethnicities. It sought less to oppose revolution than to instrumentalize it. The League of Nations, so often taken as the supreme symbol of the conference’s failure, is better considered as a continuation of the laboratory of sovereignty established in Paris.

Enemy Combatant

The Introduction begins by exploring modern examples sanctioning the concept of the citizen enemy combatant, such as the War on Terror cases of José Padilla and Yaser Hamdi. It then suggests that the roots of this concept may be found in the World War II detention of Japanese Americans, including over 70,000 U.S. citizens. The Introduction continues by arguing that this modern conception of the citizen enemy combatant is impossible to reconcile with the historic understanding of the Suspension Clause and the habeas privilege that trace their origins to English legal tradition, an understanding that remained consistent well through Reconstruction. The Introduction concludes with an overview of the book.
