Diary 2: January - June 1936
Item 78
Transcription: advice. And now I have to see about the "Volkstimme" 13th June. Our comparative peace shattered & fear & danger in the city. Nazis stormed a Deutsch-Nat. meeting within 100 yards of my house tonight - I was at a State reception to the riding teams for our local annual jumping competitions at Zoppot. When I got home Elsie told me people had been clamouring at the door calling out that there was a massacre going on & fifty people were in hospital. It seems to have been a brutal, dirty business. Most of the D.N. audience of 700 were bourgeoisie, & many elderly men & women included in the injured.

Diary 2: January - June 1936
Item 77
Transcription: Blavier, not a very serious person, entered with a solution in bad verse: (1) It was he; (2) he was leaving the H.C.'s office; (3) he had been telling the H.C. that Zarske (Editor) was "the greatest swine in Danzig". Blavier had been in schutzhaft: I had intervened & secured his release. He had come to thank me & describe his experiences amongst the "D. & Ds" - "for his own protection." I had obtained an assurance that he wd not in public mention my intervention & had suggested it was the reasonableness of the Senate to which he owed his release. I told B. it was a piece of scandalous impertinence & I wd speak to Greiser. Greiser, a couple of weeks ago, made a big bloomer with a speech in a N.S. café, saying that the Polish-Danzig Pact wd not last & then wd come the realization of their ambition, etc, etc. Papee protested & obtained a complete denial. The "Volkstimme" was suppressed for two months for "false" reports! I also obtained a flat denial. "Do you think I wd be so stupid as to make such a speech?" said Greiser. Later he said he was in the quandary of making no speeches & getting into disrepute with his Party: or having trouble with others. I gave him some good

Ratne bojne dopisnice - Feldpost iz Prvog svjetskog rata
22 Items
Description: Ratne bojne dopisnice (Feldpost) bile su najfunkcionalnije sredstvo komuniciranja vojnika sa porodicom tokom Prvog svjetskog rata. Većinom su bile cenzurisane i na njima se nalazio pečat vojne cenzure, regimentalni pečat i pečat vojne pošte. Na velikom broju dopisnica nalazila su se sva tri pečata, međutim, nerijetko se nalazio samo jedan ili dva. Poznato je da su vojnici bili strogo kažnjavani ukoliko su svjesno pisali bilo šta što otkriva vojne tajne. Pisati su mogli samo vojnici. Sve što bi napisali davalo bi se vojnom cenzoru da to pregleda i tek kad on odobri moglo se poslati porodici. Čitajući pisma, može se uvidjeti da su ona poprilično štura, te da su dobro pazili o svemu šta je napisano, upravo iz razloga da bi izbjegli probleme sa nadređenim. Feldpost sistem Austro-ugarske Monarhije, omogućavao je vojnicima da komuniciraju sa svojim najbližima. Sačuvane razglednice i pisma pružaju lični pogled na to kako su pojedini vojnici doživljavali sukobe. || Devet bojnih dopisnica (Feldpost)

Dumitru Nistor prizonier de război în Japonia
160 Items
Description: Este un volum de jurnal din cele trei deţinute de Biblioteca Judeţeană Octavian Goga Cluj. || Dumitru Nistor, ţăran din satul Năsăud s-a născut în 1893. Visând din copilărie să călătorească şi să vadă ţări străine, în 1912, când vine vremea “număraşului” (recrutării) el cere să fie primit nu în miliţia ardeleană, unde erau recrutaţi de obicei românii, ci în marina austro-ungară. Terminând şcoala de marină, după o călătorie la Viena, este îmbarcat ca Geschützvormeister (“primul îndreptător de tun”) pe vasul SMS Kaiserin Elisabeth, cu destinaţia Asia. Prins de război în Marea Chinei, crucişătorul Kaiserin Elisabeth participă la câteva bătălii navale, pentru ca în 2 noiembrie 1914 să se hotărască scufundarea lui. Echipajul pierde şi lupta terestră, este luat prizonier de japonezi şi transportat în arhipelagul nipon. Timp de zece luni, ţăranul-marinar din Năsăud va fi prizonier într-o mănăstirea buddhistă din Himeji, iar apoi mutat într-un lagăr, construit special pentru prizonierii germani şi austrieci, la Aonogahara, nu departe de Kobe, unde va rămâne până la sfârşitul anului 1919.
