	Spis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Spiš county shared borders with Poland (or from the late 18th century to 1918 with the Austrian land Galicia) and with the counties Liptov (Hungarian: Liptó), Gemer-Malohont (Gömör-Kishont), Abov-Turňa (Abaúj-Torna) and Šariš (Sáros) in the Kingdom of Hungary.
		Poland also held the administrative powers in the area and was entitled to appoint a governor/administrator (starosta) for the territories, with his seat in Stará Ľubovňa, to manage them economically (especially to keep the tax revenues) and to position guards at important road crossings even outside the pawned territories.
		Since Poland did not want to return those prosperous towns, attempts of the Kingdom of Hungary to repay the debt (most notably in 1419, 1426 and 1439) failed and later nobody was ready to pay the huge sum anymore, although the whole kingdom was talking about the necessity to do so.

		It was one of the proudest days of my life when, for the first time in free, independent Poland, for the first time since Poland's partition, I could open the doors of the ancient castle of our kings and receive there with royal honors this noble son of American democracy.
		The question was in what character Poland could appear at the conference, and whether she could appear at all.
		With tender feeling for distant Poland, with touching love and loyalty to their adopted country they accomplished all their duties in a way as to fill my heart with gladness and with pride.

	The Story of Suprasl - A Shtetl in Eastern Poland part III
		Everything I have recorded is connected to the terrible events experienced by myself and the Jews, as well as the Christians, of the Polish town of Suprasl, during and after the war, and to the murder of all the Jews of Suprasl and the events that occurred up to my arrival in Israel.
		I shall begin with the outbreak of war between Poland and Germany, on 1st, September 1939, when all the men of the town below the age of 50, who had previously served in the Polish army were recruited.
		It soon became clear that the entire Jewish population of Poland was being wiped out and the forest became the best place in which to hide and from which to mount attacks on the Germans.

		In the end the Pleisse settles the controversy: she asserts that, although the Danube certainly may honour the royal couple, he must abandon any real claim upon him in favour of the other rivers; the Vistula and Elbe must then take their turns in basking in the presence of the sovereign.
		In the middle section, all constraint is abandoned, and the chorus floods on in a joyous allegro to the accompaniment of woodwinds and strings.
		The projection of the "precious" name "August" is effected by the interplay of tenor and solo violin.

		The Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, August III, announced - apparently unexpected - a visit to Leipzig, with his consort, for the period from 2-6 October 1734.
		Stanislaus fled to Danzig, and with the capitulation of this city on 6 July 1734, the outcome of the disorders was decided in favour of August.
		The festive-joyful melody "Freilich trotzt Augustus' Name" ("Certainly August's Name defies") is an enthusiastic hymn of praise to the King (the long-drawn-out beginning syllable, on the other hand, may perhaps indicate a hidden parody relationship), while at the words "Rase nur, verwegner Schwarm", a veritable satirical song aimed at the King's enemies sounds.
