(any streaks on the reverse side of the card are from the scanner and not on the actual card.) according to wikipedia: (more at site) mysłowice [mɨswɔˈvʲit͡sɛ] (silesian: myslowicy; german: myslowitz) is a city in silesia in southern poland, near katowice. The population of the city as of 2018 is 74,586. It is located in the south district of the upper silesian metropolitan union in the silesian highlands, on the przemsza and brynica rivers (tributaries of the vistula). It is situated in the silesian voivodeship since its formation in 1999, previously in the katowice voivodeship, and before then, the autonomous silesian voivodeship. Mysłowice is one of the cities comprising the 2.7 million conurbation – katowice urban area and within the greater silesian metropolitan area with a population of about 5,294,000.[1] mysłowice is one of the oldest cities in upper silesia. Located at the confluence of the white and black przemsza rivers, it is situated on an important trading route from wrocław to kraków. The earliest traces of the modern settlement date back to the 12th and 13th century, when it was part of piast-ruled poland. The first mention of a parish priest is found in a document from 1306. In 1360, mysłowice was already referred to as a town. Over the centuries the ownership of the city changed frequently, as did the borders between different countries. After the foundation of the german empire in 1871 the area became known as dreikaisereck ("triangle of the three emperors"), as it was situated at the point where the austrian, german and russian empires adjoined. After world war i, in 1918, poland regained independence, and in 1919, local polish miners organized large protests in mysłowice.[2] on august 15, 1919, the german grenzschutz opened fire on protesting polish miners and their families.[2] seven miners, two women and a teenage boy were killed, and many people were wounded.[2] the event, known as the "mysłowice massacre", sparked the first silesian uprising against germany.[2] in 1921, the upper silesia plebiscite was held, in which 56% of the residents of myslowitz voted to remain in germany and 44% voted to rejoin poland, while the overwhelming majority in the present-day districts (then surrounding villages) of brzezinka, brzęczkowice, dziećkowice, kosztowy, krasowy and wesoła opted to reintegrate with poland, with the result ranging from 77.3% voting for poland in brzęczkowice to 96.7% in wesoła.[3][4] after the silesian uprisings in 1922, mysłowice and the rest of east upper silesia became part of the newly restored second polish republic. During the german occupation of poland (world war ii), the germans operated a nazi prison in the town.[5] many polish children passed through the prison during the implementation of the nazi genocidal policy towards polish families in silesia.[6] in the wesoła district, the germans also established and operated a forced labour camp for jews[7] and a subcamp of the auschwitz concentration camp.[8] in the final stages of the war, most prisoners of the subcamp were evacuted by the germans in a death march to gliwice and then deported to germany, while the remaining sick prisoners were mostly murdered by the ss.[8] a dozen or so prisoners managed to hide and survived the massacre, and were taken care of by polish miners afterwards.[8] in 1951, city limits were expanded, and brzezinka and brzęczkowice were included as new districts.[9] base shipping is $2.00 domestic and $3.00 international.
