Abstract/Notes: Dit boek beschrijft de fascinerende geschiedenis van de door de links-socialistische onderwijzer Joop Westerweel aangevoerde verzetsgroep, die bestond uit niet-Joodse linkse activisten en zogeheten Palestinapioniers. Dit waren merendeels Duitse Joden die zich voorbereidden op hun vertrek naar Palestina. Beide groepen hadden een marginale maatschappelijke positie, waardoor zij buiten de kaders van het verzuilde Nederlandse bestel konden opereren. Door samen te werken met uiteenlopende religieuze en sociale kringen slaagde de organisatie erin ongeveer 250 Joden in veiligheid te bren-gen. Het non-conformisme van de groep bleek ook uit de ongebruikelijk op-lossingen voor de onderduik. Een tiental pioniers reisde met valse papieren naar Duitsland. Van de 150 Joden die in Frankrijk onderdoken, slaagden er 70 in Spanje te bereiken. De Westerweelgroep betaalde een zware prijs voor zijn werk. Joop Westerweel stierf voor een vuurpeloton. Andere leden kwamen terecht in concentratiekampen, wat van grote invloed was op hun verdere leven. [This book describes the fascinating history of the resistance group, led by left-wing socialist teacher Joop Westerweel, which consisted of non-Jewish left-wing activists and so-called Palestine pioneers. These were mostly German Jews preparing to leave for Palestine. Both groups had a marginal social position, which allowed them to operate outside the framework of the pillarized Dutch system. Working with diverse religious and social circles, the organization managed to get about 250 Jews to safety. The group's non-conformity was also apparent from the unusual solutions for going into hiding. A dozen pioneers traveled to Germany with false papers. Of the 150 Jews who went into hiding in France, 70 managed to make it to Spain. The Westerweelgroep paid a heavy price for its work. Joop Westerweel died before a firing squad. Other members ended up in concentration camps, which had a major impact on their further lives.]

Abstract/Notes: This book about the Westerweel Group tells the fascinating story about the cooperation of some ten non-conformist Dutch socialists and a group of Palestine Pioneers who mostly had arrived in the Netherlands from Germany and Austria the late thirties. With the help of Joop Westerweel, the headmaster of a Rotterdam Montessori School, they found hiding places in the Netherlands. Later on, an escape route to France via Belgium was worked out. Posing as Atlantic Wall workers, the pioneers found their way to the south of France. With the help of the Armée Juive, a French Jewish resistance organization, some 70 pioneers reached Spain at the beginning of 1944. From here they went to Palestine. Finding and maintaining the escape route cost the members of the Westerweel Group dear. With some exceptions, all members of the group were arrested by the Germans. Joop Westerweel was executed in August 1944. Other members, both in the Netherlands and France, were send to German concentration camps, where some perished.

Abstract/Notes: Artykuł stanowi sprawozdanie z badania jakościowo – biograficznego zrealizowanego wśród dwóch grup uczestników biorących udział w kursach Montessori. Podstawowym celem badania była analiza znaczeń nadawanych zmianie. Pytanie badawcze sformułowano następująco: Jak uczestnicy kursu Montessori (6-12) tematyzują swój proces transformacji?  Artykuł podejmuje kwestię zmiany edukacyjnej w kontekście wiedzy milczącej oraz teorii osobistych a następnie opisuje procedurę gromadzenia i analizy danych z dwudziestu pięciu pogłębionych, jakościowych wywiadów indywidualnych, które następnie poddano analizie zgodnie z opisanymi przez Kvale siedmioma krokami. W rezultacie analiz udało się zidentyfikować i opisać dwie główne kategorie: radykalną transformację oraz korektę biograficzną. W końcowej części artykułu autor, w kontekście zebranego materiału zwraca uwagę na ograniczone możliwości narzucania zmiany w edukacji i – podążając za głosami uczestników badania rekomenduje pożądane warunki do zaistnienia potencjalnych zmian: tworzenie nauczycielom warunków wolności do podejmowania decyzji i tworzenia autorskich rozwiązań dydaktycznych, demokratyzacja sfery związanej z edukacją oraz wspieranie poczucia godności wśród nauczycieli.
