Effects of war

The first volumes published after the war show in a few footnotes and posthumous publications the effects of Nazi barbarism on Polish mathematics.

In Volume 10 Hugo Steinhaus writes in a footnote about Herman Auerbach : "Ce mathématicien distingué et homme de rare qualités d'esprit et de cœur a été assassiné par les Allemands à Lwów in 1942." (German: This excellent mathematician and man of rare minds - and Heart Characteristics was murdered by the Germans in Lwów in 1942.)

The posthumously published article by Meier Eidelheit Quelques remarques sur les fonctionelles linéaires in Volume 10 is preceded by the following lines: “L'auteur de ce travail a été assassiné par les Allemands en mars de 1943. Le manuscrit qu'il fut parvenir à la Rédaction en 1941 a été retrouvé récemment entre les papiers laissés par S. Banach. ”(German: The author of this work was murdered by the Germans in March 1943. The manuscript, which reached the editorial office in 1941, recently became one of the writings left by S. Banach found again.)

In Volume 11, published in 1950, A. Alexiewicz referred to his dissertation in a footnote as follows: "Presented with some insignificant alterations as Doctor Thesis, on March 10, 1944 to the secret university in Lwów, during the terror of the German occupation." (German: With insignificant changes on March 10, 1944, presented to the secret university in Lwów, during the terror of the German occupation, as a doctoral thesis.)

The article Weak compactness in Banach spaces by G. Sirvint , published posthumously in Volume 11, begins with the introductory lines: “The author was murdered by the Germans during the second world. The present work was received by the editor in 1941 and has been prepared by A. Alexiewicz. ”(German: The author was murdered by the Germans during World War II. The present work was received by the editor in 1941 and was prepared by A. Alexiewicz .)
