Czas Baltimorski (lit. Baltimore Times) was a short-lived weekly Polish-language newspaper that began publication on July 11, 1940, in Baltimore, Maryland. [1] It was published by the Polish-American Times, Inc. with Wladyslaw A. Wusza as founding editor. [2] Wusza and his English language editor Stanley A. Ciesielski were both young, second generation Polish-Americans, and Wusza's father had been editor of a Polish-language newspaper in New York City. [3]
Czas Baltimorski chronicled developments in Europe with an emphasis on Poland, in addition to reporting on local events, sports, and religious and cultural news of interest to the Polish-American community in Baltimore. [4] Both editors enlisted in the United States armed forces after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941; after their service, Wusza was an economic advisor to the post-war Polish government, and Ciesielski served in the Central Intelligence Agency until his retirement, when he became president of the Polish Heritage Association. [5]
The exact date that publication of the Czas ceased is unknown; the last issue digitized by the Library of Congress was the January 23, 1941 issue. [6]
