Diary 5: January - July 1938
Item 29
Transcription: Left page Our old friend Count Edward O'Rourke has resigned the Bishopric of Danzig. Right page 20/06/38 Some long letters from Burckhardt in Danzig; he has the mind of a novelist and writes well. It is true that he sees himself (discreetly) in a romantic & dramatic "scene", but his observations and reported conversations are pointed, as well as thrilling His letters will some day make a fascinating book. No reference to O'Rourke's resignation, but an account of his plots & battles to prevent "the Aryan clause" being formally applied in Danzig - most of it is, in fact, in operation. Greiser and Forster are on loving terms again.

Diary 5: January - July 1938
Item 28
Transcription: Left page 15/6/38 A month's crisis over Cechoslovakia and the Sudeten Deutsch party. It looked so grave one week-end that the British Ambassador called twice at Wilhelmstrasse to inquire into German troop concentrations. Benes called up a lot of Reservists - "to be trained in new weapons" and Britain & France gave solemn warnings to Berlin. Again, a display of firmness won the day. The Germans, continuing a very violent Press campaign against the Czechs, drew back & denied the mobilisation at the frontier. A story is told that Berlin took the British seriously when it was reported that preliminary arrangements had been made for the departure of the families of the Embassy staff. Right page Chile & Venezuela have given notice to leave the League & to continue technical collaboration. Chile led the way, = real causes not apparent Edwards, Ambassador in London, made it a personal policy & some said "German and Italian influence." Harold Butler (who has resigned as Director of the I.L.O.) told me that when the British Minister at Venezuela hinted at the displeasure of London on the possibility of Venezuela following Chile, he was met with a quotation from Neville Chamberlain's fatuous February speech. Our Latin-American mission continues its rather sad itinerary - now omitting Venezuela.

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.
