Genealogy / the name is Rosenbaum [28]

After all, Szczecin isn't 'Stettin,' is it?

Stettin is German spelling of Polish Szczecin, in Kashubian the city is called Sztetëno

like city of Lwów( Polish spelling) is Lviv in Ukranian and Lemberg in German

Genealogy / the name is Rosenbaum [28]

In some countries, such as the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Jews were forced to take surnames with a German appearance hence Rosenbaum is likely to be a Jewish surname that was arbitrarily given.

in 1998 there were 64 persons living in Poland with the Rosenbaum surname

News / Is tan skin common among polish people? [57]

Witek, there were always slavs there

Kazek,

Slavs emerged from obscurity when the westward movement of Germans and Celts in the 5th and 6th centuries AD started the great migration of the Slavs, who settled the lands abandoned by Germanic tribes fleeing the Huns and their allies: westward into the country between the Oder and the Elbe-Saale line; southward into Bohemia, Moravia, much of present day Austria, the Pannonian plain and the Balkans; and northward along the upper Dnieper river.

News / Is tan skin common among polish people? [57]

I think a while ago there was a large number of indian people who lived in poland and merged with the general population so that's why some "polish" people are tan-skinned.

what? indian people lived in Poland?

you are wrong Kazek.

before the Poles ( slavs) there were Celts and Germanic peoples in Poland but no Indians.

History / Soviet war monuments in Poland - what to do about them? [133]

Sure there were some Estonian nazi units - doesn't mean that all estonians were nazis

Estonians formed SS units - we Poles did not.

On the first anniversary of the German capture of Tallinn, the Estonian capitol, the formation of an Estonian legion under the name of Estnische SS-Legion, a formation of three battalions, was initiated. The formation was to be placed under the control of Heinrich Himmler's Waffen-SS.

News / A friend murdered in Poland; what the Polish police can do? [69]

What do the Poles consider to be rich?

if you flaunt your wealth then beware because you are asking for trouble. if you throw around cash, wear expensive jewlerey,live in a exclussive house, drive BMW or Mercedes then you become a target to rob.
