think that KTS ENEA SIARKOPOL Tarnobrzeg played very smart in the opening leg They put Ying HAN ‘down’ to play against me in the third position so our line-up could not perform at its best having to

camp with his family I knew we were in trouble,” Schiller said in an interview videotaped in 1986 for Yale’s Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies “Anybody that didn’t get off the truck fast enough was hit over the head with a whip; kicked My mother was immediately put into another camp.” The interviewer asked Schiller what it was like to be separated from his mother at such a young age I have some [voice breaks] … I guess I can’t ask them to turn this off can I?” who was 52 when the interview was recorded I sometimes think I was made too inhuman because I didn’t care about anybody else.” Excerpts from Schiller’s video testimony are the subject of the first episode of “Those Who Were There,” a new podcast series from the Fortunoff Archive dedicated to sharing the history of the Holocaust through the first-hand testimonies of survivors and witnesses The podcast uses audio from the archive’s collection of videotaped interviews which were conducted from 1979 to the present The series includes accounts from Jewish survivors It is aimed at anyone interested in learning more about the Holocaust and the personal toll the genocide inflicted on individuals and families director of the Fortunoff Archive and a co-producer of the podcast Only a fraction of the archive’s more than 4,400 testimonies have been viewed and the podcast is meant to share survivors’ stories with listeners worldwide 12 at a launch event for the podcast in Sterling Memorial Library’s lecture hall and my hope is that this podcast is a chance to provide a public space for each survivor Naron co-produced the podcast with Eric Marcus, the founder and host of the award-winning “Making Gay History” podcast, and Nahanni Rous, the host and producer of “Can We Talk?,” the podcast of the Jewish Women’s Archive and award-winning writer in both English and Yiddish which will feature 10 episodes in its first season — each drawn from an individual testimony Contextual notes by historian Samuel Kassow and a transcript of the program will accompany each episode to enhance the podcast’s value as a teaching tool Marcus’ “Making Gay History” podcast provided the inspiration for the Fortunoff’s series as it uses archival interviews to tell intimate and personal stories about LGBT history in the United States The Fortunoff Archive has a long record of using current technology to document and share the experiences of Holocaust survivors and witnesses It originated in 1979 as the Holocaust Survivors Film Project which took the novel approach of using video to document Holocaust survivors under the leadership of the late Laurel Vlock a local television interviewer and producer an associate professor of clinical psychiatry at Yale and a child survivor of the Holocaust the original collection of video testimonies was donated to Yale Sterling Professor Emeritus of English and Comparative Literature served as the Fortunoff Archive’s inaugural director and his efforts made it possible to extend the collection’s reach across the globe the archive has digitized its entire collection which has made it more accessible for research and teaching The podcast series is another way to invite people into the archive The launch event included a panel discussion led by Marcus in which the producers and host described the work of producing the podcast including the challenge of choosing individual testimonies to highlight and condensing complex hours-long interviews into concise and easily digestible episodes The idea of listening to hours and hours of Holocaust testimonies each week seemed daunting at first adding that she considered it “sacred work” that needed to be done “As soon as I started listening to the testimonies that Stephen sent along and very motivated to help other people hear these stories.” The production team chose a range of testimonies that would provide listeners with a sense of the archive’s breadth that make certain testimonies better suited to an audio presentation than others (The archive includes testimonies in 22 languages.) Rous described the process of winnowing testimonies to fit the podcast format explaining that she searches for a narrative arc that will help listeners follow the survivors and witnesses through their experiences “I’m also listening for a person’s character to come through,” she said adding that the decisions about what material to keep and to cut were made collaboratively among the production team Imparting historically accurate information concerning one of the darkest periods of human history while keeping listeners engaged was a challenge “We never look for any sort of silver lining because there isn’t one,” he said The episodes offer listeners an opportunity to reflect on current events and draw lessons from history who added that the individuals featured have compelling stories to share Martin Schiller was forced to make bullet shells He described risking his life to sabotage the shells so they would jam the Germans’ rifles Schiller and his brother were liberated at Buchenwald He described being reunited with her in a hallway in a German town “I remember people coming out of the doors and watching us Poland -- Tens of thousands in Warsaw marched peacefully Friday

lot of confidence going into the season,” Robbins said When DSU’s basketball staff first saw Robbins play they knew right away that he had the talent to play with the best of them there was no question in our minds that Zach was a Division I athlete playing Division II,” Judkins said and he’s going to fit in well with his new team Robbins led the Red Storm to the NCAA Division II Western Regional each season and will go down as one of the best players to put on a DSU uniform Robbins leaves the men’s program as the all-time leader in points (1,470) Robbins averaged 16.2 points and 7.9 rebounds per game and was named to the Pacific West Conference First Team among several other conference and national awards After losing a heartbreaking game in the final seconds during the Western Regionals Robbins has been hard at work preparing for this professional opportunity I’ve been working out on campus and with our coaches ever since the season ended,” he said has helped me a lot in the weight room as well to help bulk me up.” Bulking up is about the only thing Robbins has had to worry about length and versatile game has drawn interest from several professional teams “My first offer came from a team in Norway I got a call from my agent saying that a team in Poland had a lot of interest in me,” Robbins said and we felt the best fit for us was going to be in Poland and we

decision concerning support for business activity in the Tarnobrzeg Special Economic Zone EURO-PARK WISŁOSAN the Korean company Enchem Poland will build a new factory and lithium production installation in Kobierzyce in Lower Silesia representatives handed a decision on business support to the head of Enchem Poland Sp The Korean concern will finance for 240 million PLN its new project consisting in the production of electrolytic solutions used in car batteries This will be the third largest investment of a South Korean company in the Tarnobrzeg Special Economic Zone since the beginning of the Polish Investment Zone as many as 45 decisions to support new investments were issued in the Tarnobrzeg Special Economic Zone EURO-PARK WISŁOSAN and a total of one hundred such decisions since the beginning of the Polish Investment Zone The construction of the lithium production plant and installation at EURO-PARK Kobierzyce is further proof that despite the pandemic This is the 6th investment of South Korean companies in Poland in 2021 companies from this country have already invested over 3.5 billion PLN within the Polish Investment Zone and created half a thousand new jobs Government Plenipotentiary for Foreign Investments and Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Technology This year we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Tarnobrzeg Special Economic Zone EURO-PARK WISŁOSAN companies have invested 15.5 billion PLN in building modernising and equipping production facilities Entrepreneurs have created and maintained over 27 thousand jobs - said Cezariusz Lesisz President of the Industrial Development Agency The South Korean company's investment includes the construction of a new factory and a lithium production facility Lithium salt is one of the main ingredients used to produce electrolyte for batteries as well as for the production of batteries for electric cars itself Due to the geopolitical situation and difficulties in accessing raw material on global markets we will secure continuity in the production of electrolyte and allowing for uninterrupted supplies to major customers - manufacturers of batteries for electric cars We will be the only producer of lithium salt in Europe the oldest special economic zone (SEZ) in Poland celebrated its 20th anniversary two years ago round anniversaries were celebrated by the special economic zones in Katowice and in Suwałki Pomeranian SEZ and the Warmian-Masurian SEZ all turned 20 in 2017 Mateusz Morawiecki announced a thorough overhaul of these investment support instruments It’s easy to point out certain problems with the zones but the longest functioning investment incentive in Poland has an impressive legacy nonetheless According to the document entitled “Information on the implementation of the act on special economic zones” adopted by the Polish parliament at the end of 2016 the companies operating in Polish SEZs had 2,263 permits to conduct business activity The Ministry of Development estimated that in 2017 14 SEZs may have attracted EUR5bn in investments with 16,000 jobs every fifth project is implemented by a small or medium-sized company All the parameters are significantly better than one and two years ago The effects achieved by the special economic zones confirm the effectiveness of this investment incentive When the government created the special economic zones in the 1990s the greatest challenge in Poland was unemployment Creation of new jobs – this was the main purpose of the Special Economic Zones That is why the number of new jobs declared by the investors was such an important element in the process of granting permits to conduct business activity in a zone Unemployment already ceased to be a priority a few years ago and today when the unemployment rate is down to less than 7 per cent (September 2017) unemployment prevention is no longer a policy priority “There are 14 Special Economic Zones operating in Poland and they constitute an important element of the relationship with the investors over the course of the years the assumptions concerning their impact have not been adjusted to the changing economic challenges and needs,” stated the Ministry of Development in an official communication published on the occasion of the presentation of a new system of support for investors It is worth recalling that a reform of the SEZs was already carried out by the government in 2014 Back then the management boards of the SEZs were tasked with creating clusters and facilitating cooperation between businesses and schools and universities and additionally it was often difficult to find people with the appropriate training or preparation for the job The Ministry of Development attempts to fix the system in the areas where it is not efficient aimed at turning “the entire territory of Poland into a special economic zone” but a systemic solution of the greatest weakness of the current SEZs applying for support is very complicated: the investor submits a letter of intent to the zone the zone prepares a draft of changes in its boundaries and forwards it to the Ministry of Development and when the application is ready it goes to inter-ministerial consultations then is discussed by the government and finally signed by the Prime Minister Including new territories into the boundaries of a SEZ can take as long as 20 months The Ministry of Development proposes a guarantee of corporate income tax exemption after an investor meets certain conditions in any location within the country instead of the current area of 25,000 hectares which constitute 0.08 per cent of Poland’s territory an investor is sometimes handled by eight separate institutions That is why companies managing the zones are to become the contact points in the region and the regional coordinators in the process of authorizing state aid – tax exemptions and government grants the Mielec SEZ has a branch in Szczecin and the Tarnobrzeg SEZ has a branch near Wrocław In the new system they will operate in the counties assigned by the Ministry of Development The 14 zones are still sorting out the details because there are more than 20 counties in which more than one SEZ is operating Under the current regulations the zones are supposed to operate until 2026 – this deadline was already postponed twice: in 2008 it was pushed back until the end of 2020 The companies that enter into SEZs will be able to receive public aid in the form of tax exemptions only for nine years and therefore they are in a worse situation than companies that received a permit a year ago or a couple of years ago The government could extend the functioning of the zones once again the Ministry of Development chose a systemic solution which will not require subsequent changes in the future: in the new system the permit will be granted for a specified period of time – 10-15 years and in the case of companies that choose locations already belonging to SEZs the Ministry of Development will now expect them to meet not only quantitative criteria (specific investment outlays from EUR47,538 upwards and a number of jobs created) The latter are to take into account the assumptions of the Strategy for Responsible Development sustainable development and the development of human resources Structural development is to be measured on the basis of employment of personnel with specialized education or high-paying jobs compliance with the country’s current development policy and exports Scientific development will be calculated on the basis of cooperation with academic and research centers and taking into account the development of local clusters Sustainable development will be calculated with consideration taken of the location of the investment – for example Additional points will be awarded to micro-companies as well as projects implemented in small and medium-sized cities or in the countryside The Ministry of Development estimates that by 2027 the changes will have provided 158,300 new jobs EUR27.9bn in investments and EUR879.5m in revenues to the State budget and the budgets of the local government units This means that in ten years the SEZs are supposed to generate almost the same amount of investment as they did in the previous two decades Creating so many jobs (whereas in the 20 previous years 225,500 jobs were created) also seems very difficult at a time when plants are becoming more and more automated Experts are praising the new system for the simplification of the procedure for obtaining public support and for rewarding the choice of locations previously avoided by investors the head of the Słupsk Special Economic Zone believes that the incentives may be insufficient in the case of the Central Pomerania region which is suffering from a transport disadvantage: the construction of the expressway S6 “is delayed until 2023-25” An additional issue for the zone is the anti-missile defense shield in Redzikowo because an American base means additional restrictions for investors.
