A few more items ended in my hands some time ago (from a different source):
1.A photograph captioned on the back "After signing an agreement with Czechoslovakia" Janiurek is in thecenter, with a glass.

2.1938 secondary school in Chorzów diploma with quite good results - polish, geography and maths are "stisfactionary", Latin, history and physics&chemistry are "good", the rest, including French are "very good".

Probably he didn't finish the school because of the war.

[Al-muell]
