Diary 6: September 1938 - March 1939
Item 46
Transcription: [Page one] It has been a hard task & unpleasant, too. The marvellous Spanish art treaures from the Prado, & other Museums & private collections of art in Spain— stored in Catalonia—were evacuated when the war came up toward the frontier. They have been lodged in our building—an anxious care—& an inventory is to be made. All sorts of personal & political complications. Rubis—the gentle "Red" curator & artist, who stuck by his treasures & was like a skeleton when he came into [Page two] France; Sert, the man who painted our Council room (on Burgos side) & his colleague Eugenio d'Ors. The latter hate each other even more than their opposite member. d'Ors especially has been making all kinds of trouble. He has to be handled like a temperamental prima donna. Behind the scenes conflicting efforts to have an exhibition (1) in Geneva (2) in Paris (3) in Italy before they are handed back. Avenol being absent on holiday I have been kept occupied with the affair

Item 45
Transcription: February Elsie has been helping supply the camps of Spanish refugees established in France near the frontier. House cleared of all spare clothes. The refugees were in a wretched condition. We get regular "callers", flying from Germany, & seeking help en route A 19-year old girl today—without parents— able to speak auf German. It is not easy to distinguish the possible "fakes". _______ I have been Chairman of the "AXL" C'tee—reorganising & reducing this big institution with its 40 odd nationalities & multifarious activities. The budget had to be reduced, I suppose, on a/c of defections. We have still 50 members or more.

Item 43
Transcription: P1/6 (4) Coláiste Ollsgoile, University College, Corcaigh. Cork. 27 Feb 39 Dear Seán/ Very many thanks for your letter & enclosure. Excuse my delay. I have a dreadful lot of lectures &c this year. I now lecture on Sociology also! I met Rappard—& we didn't get on too well. "Ah, j'aime les Irlandais", m'a-t-il dit. Et moi de répondre: "Comme vous aimez les chiens, Monsieur, n'est ce pas?" ! Apparently they don't review scientific books in Switzerland. Which is peculiar. I met someone in Geneva who gave me the address of Ritz's brother who is still alive. Unfortunately I lost it. I shall be bankrupt if the infernal book doesn't sell. That is why I was hoping the Swiss Universities would buy a few copies. I see you haven't changed into tophatted aloofness & remain your simple self. Which is a consolation to me, as most of my friends have become dreadfully

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.
