Life / Germans and Poles - Fiction or Myth? [127]

I hope everything will be ok, I think zankel opinion from the begining is worth reading, there is no pressure in Poland to beat Germans or whatever, tourists are treaten well and friendly. young people are young people they haven't seen WWII and I simple hope situation will be better. We are members of EU to move forward.

We play some games with Bratwurst here but normal people can have problems to recoginise reality ...

personaly I don't like Germany style or way of behaviour, music ... it is just I don't like. Germans prefere Russian Vodka than Polish, French prefere Polish vodka than Russian ... simple. it is my personal opinion, as I said some Germans are ok some are not generaly I find some different cultures more interesting for me ...

what is more there is 1 mln Poles in Germany and 200 000 Germans in Poland ... so situation can't be that hard. What I have notcied at the begining main problem are Geries. from eatern part of German country ...

Life / Germans and Poles - Fiction or Myth? [127]

You know what is the worst, that we had here normal Germans not Eastern Germany nationalists like Bratwurst, do you remember The Falstaker or even person who decided to start this dicussion, normal people ... Yes it is problem, because on interntional arena Poland is ready to discusse everything but our relations are spoileb by people like Bratwurst, or simple eastern German nationalists. I think it will be better to ignore them and start discussion with normal people. As we can see history facts shows something much different than Bratwurs and it is clear, I think that Germans don't want to be only one bad character and do everything to show somebody in bad light... I hope not all germans are so stupid to start discussion with Poland where they have murdered 6 mln citizens 3 miln jews 3 mln other religion. Expelled milions of Poles form western part of Poland and eastern Germany and now like Bratwurst pretend to be victim ...I hope it is only syndrome of eastern Germans citizens some old people and young skinheads...

The cleansing of Silesia and especially the cities of Wroclaw and Poznan is well documented and there is no need to deny it; it happened everywhere in former German territories, also in Poland.

indeed ...

poznan-life.com/poznan/history

Poznan continued to grow and prosper, until Nazi invasion in 1939 made Poznan a German city again, and the German authorities started a programme of the "re-Germanization of Poznan," expelling some 100,000 Polish citizens to central Poland bringing German settlers into the city.

some sources document Ukranians, Lithuanians and even Poles as their most enthousiastic guards in the concentration camps.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_death_camp

Concerns about the use of the term led the Polish government to request that UNESCO change the official name of Auschwitz from "Auschwitz Concentration Camp" to "former Nazi German concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau." to make it clear that the concentration camp was operated by Germans, not Poles. On 28 Jun 2007 at its meeting in Christchurch, New Zealand, the World Heritage Committtee of UNESCO changed the name of the camp to "Auschwitz Birkenau. German Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp (1940-1945)." Previously, some media, including Der Spiegel in Germany, had called the camp "Polish".

btw 6 mln Polish citizens killed 3 mln Jews 3 mln other religion ...

Life / Germans and Poles - Fiction or Myth? [127]

There is fragment of article form "Die Zeit" ...

I think especially you should take that advise to heart Lukasz...

as I said before, we are part of EU and we need to cooperate, I have voted on PO not on twins ...

The Polonization on the other hand didn't fail!Right now there are not a lot Germans left in Poland....

we jhave 2 or 3 representants of German miniority in Polish parlament ... so it isn't so bad.

Personaly I don't have problems with Germans I think we should start new page in our history and I believe it will happen. Poland is ready, I hope Germany is ready as well.

Lets talk about future or what we can do to have better relations.

I have only source in Polish ... Neewsweek PL edition ... (Merkel Polsh roots)

as to German nationalists:

"Leader of NPD pointed it in this way, sooner or later we are going to take Poland, in 20 years time, in 50 years time in 100 years time, we need to be patient and act step by step, try to expelle Poles ... or buy land there ...

In some places in eastern Germany they have 30% support ...

and they want to use old methods.

lets show it on Poznan example

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulturkampf

All in all, the policies of Germanisation of the Poznań area mostly failed. Although most of the administrative measures aimed against the Poles remained in force until 1918, between 1912 and 1914 only four Polish-owned estates were expropriated, while at the same time Polish social organizations successfully competed with German trade organizations and even started to buy land from the Germans. The long-lasting effect of the Polish-German conflict in the area was development of a sense of Greater Polish identity, distinct from the identity common in other parts of Poland and primarily associated with nationalist ideas rather than socialism, prevailing in other parts of the country in 20th century.

in poorer parts of Poland Germans were more succesful ... and later were expelled by Stalin ...

some Germans still live in past ... I hope it will change.

Please cite a source...on her Wiki page there is no mention of it!What was Herr Kasners name before?

father of her mother Herlind Jentzsch was Germanisated Pole ... I have source in Polish and I see german tourists who like to visit his house ... Merkel admited this fact in Die Zeit. I didn't want to say she is Polish but notice some funny facts ...

Would you mind telling us why?

I have been to Germany several times, maybe it will sound funny but there was German family who helped Polish resistace durring WWII and they could stay in Poland after the war ... in 70's they left Poland and moved to western Germany because of economic reasons ... my family visted them and their us, Generaly Germans don't like Polish people and it is easy to notice.

Erm...and Poles leaving Poland to settle elsewhere are then also mean spirited "polish nationalists"?

Ok I have seen interview with German nationalists leader form Eastern Germany ... and we know dreams of German nationalists

Really? What's your source on that?Her father is Horst Kasner, her mother is Herlind Jentzsch, her grandparents on her mothers side liven in Elbing, East Prussia - that doesn't made them polish!

Her father was Pole who changed name in to German, Source ... Angela Merkel who admited this fact ... German tourists when visit Poznan go to see his house Grunwaldzka 63 (funny name ;) ) Merkel said for The Zeit that when she has melancholic mood she thinks it is her Polish blood. Ok I did't want to say oh look we have German chancelor ... I find it interesting ;)

as to your links ... look on pictures form Lwow ... (Polish theater)

What with the upcoming ethnic mixing in the EU?In the coming decades people will mix alot and settle in other countries..I think it will work peacefully.

we know dreams of German nationalists ;) ... but it looks that some Germans wants to live here ... and when prices of land are equal or even more expensive than in Germany ... we can have competition ... ;)

Poznan has much different expirience with Germans ... than other parts of Poland, all in all Poznan won over the Germans in economic struggle (when you will be in Poznan you will notice that there are old Polish banks and old German banks, old Polish theatres and old German theaters ...) and Merkel grandfather is Pole from Poznan. Personaly I don't like Germans ... we will see what will happen.

Nope...please explain!

What to explain, people who live on west don't fear Germans ... they don't like them but there is no fear or mithical view of German theutons. I think eastern Germans are more Pholonophobic than western Poles Germanophobic. People who live in western part of Poland + people from big towns on east are more pragmatic.

New polls show that now PO has support close to 60% and PiS about 19% so this maps soon are going to be history.

Nobody asked the Silesian Germans if they wanted to leave. They either expelled them or raped/killed them. This is actually not a very nice part of Polish history, I wonder if the Poles consider their behaviour towards the Silesian Germans in the post-war years still as being justified or do they look back at this episode in shame?

Germans were raped by Russians ... later some Poles expelled rest of them ... it is true. Once again it wasn't Polands decison ... and I am sure that we would have Kosovo here ... if Stalins decision have been different.

I know, but they took the place of expelled German citizens of Breslau.

Nobody asked them if they want ... Stalin told take this houses or die.

and to the present time. map form last elections, orange is PO blue is PiS. Western Poland and big towns on east voted on PO. I think it gives some answers.

I had a business in Germany.

I have been to Germany several times. I met a lot of German tourists here, Poznan trades a lot with Germany. There is conntact with Germany ...

Ok I think the best idea is to read book of German immigrant who live in Poland

steffen.pl/zdj/viva_polonia_b.jpg

you are going to find a lot of answers there...

But Poles in poland have a limited contact with ze Germans and as a result they continue to have negative views of them.
