History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

Poland had signed a treaty with Czechoslovakia agreeing where their borders were. Poland broke that treaty.

no, there was a secret treaty with Hacha, that at the teritory of Poland in case of German invasion will be formed a Czech army. My aunt was an archivist working in the Archive of Modern Records - she saw such a treaty with her own eyes. After 1989 it vanished...

History / Should Poland be given ANY credit for ALLOWING Jews into Poland for 1000 years? [195]

Jan Czar? Is that a reference to my family? If it were, it'd be useful.

no, it's not. Janczar [in engl.:janissary] -The Janissaries were an ottoman army, recruited of non-Turkish children, notably Balkan Christians; Jews were never subject to devşirme, nor were children from Turkic families. In early days, all Christians were enrolled indiscriminately; later, those from Albania, Greece, Bosnia, Serbia and Bulgaria were preferred.[4][5]. The Janissaries were kapıkulları (sing. kapıkulu), "door servants" or "slaves of the Porte", neither free men nor ordinary slaves (Turkish: köle).[6]

The selected by Germans children often were called "janczars". Read a book by Alojzy Twardecki [Alfred Hartmann}, one of the "janissary boys. - The school of Janissaries:letters to a german friends.
