Who wants bread, who gingerbreads…

Look, the notes are a little strange here. A list of dates. Probably rewritten, but what for.

This calendar states clearly that there were some kind of economical problems. Strikes, demonstrations, unemployment…And one can make out from these press-cuttings that there were some reasons for it. These pieces are about Bydgoszcz, but probably it was the same in Toruń.

They rebelled because they lived in poor conditions, they worked poorly because they were badly paid and the factories were poorly equipped. The people weren’t protected and they couldn’t learn: it was either study or work. So they protested because they thought that the protests would bring them something. Oh, here in the nanny’s paper, it reads that “ the unemployed are without any livelihood” and that the youngsters become demoralised because “12-year old boy committed a serious theft out of stupidity” – or perhaps he had no way out? Look, this is a note from June 1936, it is underlined, maybe someone well-known? This Julian went for a demo and was killed, I read somewhere that it was accidentally… But why didn’t they want to work off the dinners, maybe they preferred to work for money not for dinners, maybe for money they could get worse dinners, but there was enough for them and also for their families. It’s terrible. Look, there were problems with flats too . There were a lot of flats built in Toruń then, but I don’t know whether it was for the ordinary workers or for the office workers. I guess it was for those who had a job and it was office work in the voivodeship offices. Here is the note from the Statistical Yearbook:

Oh, one more note here

There were some factories in Toruń then, but not enough to provide job for everyone. Look, nanny wrote that “Polchem” is very modern .

Just don’t ask me about Copernicus and the astrolabium. There must be a good reason that this place is the one, and we are looking for the key for the whole thing.. Let’s think. Economic problems? The Great Depression. Is it economy? Yes, it is economy. And alas. The treatise on currency “ The way of coining”. Copernicus put into words the law of displacing the good coin by the poor one. Much later the Englishman Gresham published the same law and it became called “the Gresham law”- unfairly. Except for that he had revolutionary views, although in astronomy, but what counts is the character. And the key? Well, the key needs to be searched for… It must be somewhere here. Undoubtedly there are also some hints. A strange name was of this person who was killed here, not Franek, not Kazik, but Julian…
