These images are from Sein Kampf (His Struggle), a 1944 collection of cartoons by Stanisław Dobrzyński (1897 to 1949). Sein Kampf was published in Jerusalem by W Drodze (On the Way), a publishing house and magazine founded in Dobrzyński’s native Poland. It was printed by the Haaretz Press, Tel Aviv. The book featuredsa two-page introduction in Polish and 41 full-page cartoons with captions in Polish (with the occasional word in German or English). The cartoons lampoon Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and other leading fascists, detailing life under Nazi rule (there are a number of anti-antisemitic images), and foreshadowing the fall of Hitler and National Socialism. Sein Kampf will not be confused with Hitler’s book Mein Kampf.   Hitler’s 7 Deadly Sins     Dobrzyński, a leading Polish cartoonist the interwar years, fled abroad at the start of the Second World War, working for the press in Egypt, where he also took part in an anti-Nazi propaganda exhibition, possibly organised by the British. Following the war he moved to Brazil and then to Venezuela, where he died in 1949. He studied art at the School of Fine Arts in Warsaw, where he began his studies in 1916. He primarily worked in caricature, relating to the Warsaw theatre scene and political life. He is considered a pioneer of Polish animation. During World War II, Stanisław Dobrzyński lived in exile in Cairo, and after the war, he moved to São Paulo, Brazil, where he worked under the pseudonym “STANDO.” He died in 1949 in Caracas, Venezuela.   Part 1: VENI       Preface to Sein Kampf by Stanisław Dobrzyński: This war is above all a great crisis of confidence not in international relations only but also in relations of man to man. Up to the outbreak of the First World War Germany was a respectable member of the community of nations. In countries where the populations were ac­customed lto decide their own fate Prussian methods were never popular. It was, however, remembered that Germany had presented the world with artists, philosophers and men of science. The world used to lay the blame of the bar­ barism 1of Poland’s partitions upon the political situation and the sufferings of the Poles in the “Kulturkampf” period could \not find credence kuith the world’s public opinion. The First World War which disclosed some characteristics of the German soul was a turning point in the attitude of public opinion towards Germany. U-Boat warfare, murders in Belgium, the burn­ ing down of Louvain and Kalisz are some of the examples. Those facts caused the need for Germany to pass through a period of isolation during which she was expected to prove to the world that she was animated by the same principles as the rest of humanity. The world, however, had soon forgotten about that only to awake shaken by the horror of the war and of the true image of the German soul. The deeds of Germany and those of the Germans call for justice and freedom from their repetition. The peace of Versailles and the years that followed, convinced the Germans that crimes pass unpunished, that the world could not and would not secure itself against them. The international order that will be established after this war must provide for retribution for the crimes of the Germans and guarantee that they will not be repeated. Providence has punished us terribly for our sloth and selfishness and now the voices of the victims of the Germans call not only for punishment but for the victory of law over force, and for peace for those who will come after us.       Part 2: VIDI     Part 3: VICI     Via: here The post Sein Kampf: 41 Scathing Anti-Nazi Cartoons by Stanisław Dobrzyński, 1944 appeared first on Flashbak.

'Upstairs, Downstairs' remains one of TV’s most influential period dramas of all time.

Growing up in any era, the summer days gave any child the illusion that they dragged on, especially the sweltering days.  How you dealt with that heat could be an impossible mission in some instances.  What did you do?Air conditioning was a rarity for me growing up, even in the cars.  I remember that my parents had a window A/C unit in the master bedroom and when it was too hot in the evenings, my sister and I were invited in and slept on the floor to get some relief. Typically, we had box fans in our bedrooms and maybe one downstairs pointing into the living room for some relief.  Curtains were mostly closed to reduce the hot rays into the house.  Basement doors were left open to draw a small amount of the coolness towards the main floor as well.(Photo Courtesy: Google.com/maps)Water TreatsHanging out at the community pool was another place for us to cool off.  I can recall my mother scrambling to put together towels, wrangling us to get our swim suits on, flip flops, and then journeying to the opposite side of town.  We'd be in a hurry, racing through the changing rooms and into the pool side of the property.  My mother would go find a small piece of real estate while my sister and I would go jump in.We rarely swam laps, in fact it looked more like a moth's pattern; merely entertaining ourselves for the next couple of hours.  Going down the lone slide or braving the diving boards all while despising the lifeguard and their whistles for even looking at them wrong.With my parents split towards my teenage year, my parent's each moved out to the country and we rarely drove all the way into Clearfield to just go to the community pool.  Around my mother's country setting, we would be dropped off at the local creek and swim in the murky water way.  There was a rope that some of my rural friends and cousins would swing and jump from while I was not so trusting since I had no idea what was underneath.At my father's area, we had a shallow creek about a mile down the hill and we would wade, splash, and merely sit on a rock with the water slowly flowing around you.  Though far less entertaining, still being able to sit in cool water for a while staved off the summer heat.(Photo Courtesy: https://www.plumcreekfarmmarket.com/ss-ice-cream-and-toppings)Cold TreatsDuring my childhood while we were still in the small neighborhood, I can recall the ice cream truck creeping through our neighborhood with their corny loud speaker beckoning.  Children begged and pleaded for the ice cream bars and treats.  We would race out and request our treat and be refreshed by the cool treat.We would occasionally drive out to ice cream places for a cool ice cream.  When we visited my grandparents, my uncle would drive us out to the ice cream stand where I remember getting ice cream twists of vanilla and chocolate while my sister would request chocolate ice cream.In my youth, I remember there being several small venues that were primarily ice cream and fast food places throughout Clearfield County, Pennsylvania.  While the trips were rather infrequent, I recall visiting a variety of them to get ice cream at least a few times every summer.Returning as an adultWhen I make my way home, I see that many places are long gone, but it's great to see a few remain and when I think about it, I still stop and grab an ice cream or a variant to enjoy and reminisce.What were your summer treats like?

A blended family rooted in music and love Everett Collection Johnny Cash welcomed four daughters — Rosanne, Kathy, Cindy, and Tara — with his first wife, Vivian Liberto. As his career exploded during the 1950s and 1960s, balancing fame with family life became increasingly difficult.

After marrying June Carter in 1968, Cash embraced an even larger family.
