Diary 1: October 1935 - January 1936
Item 6
Transcription: I knew Nansen but not very intimately. This hero of the Arctic, whose adventures had thrilled my generation of boys, came often to Geneva as a Norwegian delegate. But he was getting old then and in my time at any rate did not seem to me to be very effective. His services to the world would, however, have made him an ornament of any delegation. One of his colleagues, Hambro, President of the Storting, is one of my best friends in League circles.

Diary 1: October 1935 - January 1936
Item 5
Transcription: Henderson had two aides in his disarmament work. One was Philip Noel Baker, (Univ. Professor: Labour:) who has published a book on Inter Commonwealth relations. Baker had, for a time, been helping Nansen in, I think, his Russian refugee work, and is a humanitarian & a good European. A.H. must have owed much to him during the first strenuous year of the Conference. And then Zilliacus - "Zilly" to all the world a member of the Information Section of the Secretariat, but a man of character and opinions. Regarded rather as a "Radical", Zilly is strongly Labour in politics & international in outlook. British subject of Finnish origin & married to a fascinating Pole. We worked together to some extent in the Sino-Japanese question on which our views coincided. Bernard Shaw went to Geneva once & apparently "Zilly" had been in touch with him about arrangements. He met Shaw at the railway station and introduced himself. "Zilliacus!", said Shaw - "why, I always thought it was a telegraphic address."

Diary 1: October 1935 - January 1936
Item 4
Transcription: Left page So I've opened a diary at last. The odds are against a dozen entries. Right page October 1935. 25th Sorry to hear of Arthur Henderson's death. We knew him and his wife, a sweet & unpretentious little woman, quite well and I'll miss "Uncle Arthur's" cheery greeting in the Geneva lobbies. While he was Foreign Secretary for Britain & a member of the Council his courage and honesty impressed me on several occasions, and some qualities distinguished him throughout the years of the Disarmament Conference. His presidency of that Conference saved his life three years ago. The collapse of the Labout Government, his defeat in his own constituency when in 1931 (octr) Labour was overwhelmed (devaluation of the £) led to a break-down, & when he came back to Geneva as Pres. of the Disarmament Conference he shocked us all with the appearance of a broken & dying man But the new duties kept him in affairs - big affairs - and he slowly reconstructed his ego (!) He certainly "won merit" by his impartiality and energy in endeavouring to bring peace to a peaceless Europe.

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.
