News / GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK (COPERNICUS)! OUTRAGE! [1016]

Not to a polish family ("Watzenrode" doesn't sound polish to me) and in an inner-prussian civil war about taxes mostly he chose the side which was accidentally the side of some Poles too...some indications!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Grunwald

In Germany the battle was known as the Battle of Tannenberg. In 1914 yet another Battle of Tannenberg took place between Germany and Russia, ending with a Russian defeat.In German propaganda during the World War I / World War II period the 1914 battle was put forth as a revenge for the Polish - Lithuanian victory 504 years earlier, and the battle itself was purposefully named to suit this agenda.

heheh Civil war with some Poles on one side ... :)))))

Travel / Mushroom picking in spring in Poland? [35]

That's a saddle fungus or "strochok" in Russian. I guess it's the best mushroom to be picked in spring.

It is piestrzenica in Polish.

Other mushroom you can find in spring is Majówka.

Travel / Polish Architecture [147]

As to present times.

In my opinion there will be more and more such buildings in Poland :

It is Sulejówek in Masovian Voivodeship.

It is nice example of revitalization in Wrocław :

Late modernism wasn't looking good (it is not only my opinion) It is time for change.

It is building before revitalisation :

and after :

This building doesn't have interesting form but functionality.

Building goes 18 meters underground. It doesn't need traditional heating or air conditioning. It has heat pumps (durring summer they cool down) and uses geotermal water. Building has units which intercept hot air exhaled by people inside of it ( reused for heating reasons...). When building is empty computer changes it into kind of thermos to not loose warm inside... wentilation is being closed, units which need power turned off.

Reed - who would think few years ago that we are going to have come back of reed on our roofs ...

Reed isolates houses well (better than till) and is very ecological. Production process is much more cleaner than in case of tile ...

trzcina.pl/dachy_eng.html

REED CHARACTERISTICS

Reed values, as a natural raw material used for roofing, are unique:
uncontaminated ecological product;
does not crumble inside;
perfectly harmonizes with landscape;
insulating power 98%;
natural mineralization;
25 years guarantee and at least 50 years endurance

Going back to the city...

Postindustrial 19 century space is being used properly. First 4 stars hotel in £ódz is being build in building of old factory :

In my opinion:
It is going to be something similar to stary browar in poznan

History / Poland's King Jan III Sobieski - the stopper of Turkish Janissaries! [64]

I agree that beating Turks at Viena was one of the biggest Polish mistakes. Later Austria and Prussia partitioned Poland.

We can't change it, it was much better let Turks beat more Germans. Durring the battle of Viena Poles played crucial role so Poland would defend itself without problems.

Genealogy / Knew I was Hungarian, but my DNA came back Polish? [23]

It's very probable that we come from the same ancestors.

Like Budda :

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R1a1

Several Indian studies have pressed the case for an Indian origin for R1a1 from the diversity and distinctiveness of microsatellite Y-STR variation. Sengupta et al. conclude that there must have been an independent R1a1 population in India dating back to a much earlier expansion than the Indo-Aryan migration.

If a European origin for the Ashkenazi Levite haplogroup

possibility
, it is of interest to speculate further on the
possible timing, location, and mechanism of this event.
Because the modal haplotype of haplogroup R1a1

Blessing gesture depicted on the gravestone of Rabbi and Kohen Meschullam Kohn

/wiki/Priestly_Blessing

The Priestly Blessing, (Hebrew: ברכת כהנים‎; translit. Birkat Kohanim), also known in Hebrew as Nesiat Kapayim, (lit. Raising of the Hands), is a Jewish prayer recited by Kohanim during certain Jewish services. It is based on a scriptural verse: "They shall place My name upon the children of Israel, and I Myself shall bless them."[1] It consists of the following Biblical verses (Numbers 6:24-26):
May YHWH bless you and guard you - יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהוָה, וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָ
May YHWH make His face shine on you and show favor to you - יָאֵר יְהוָה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וִיחֻנֶּךָּ

/wiki/Ten_Lost_Tribes

The phrase Ten Lost Tribes of Israel refers to the ancient Tribes of Israel that disappeared from the Biblical account after the Kingdom of Israel was destroyed, enslaved and exiled by ancient Assyria.[1] Many groups of Jews have doctrines concerning the continued hidden existence or future public return of these tribes. This is a subject that is partially based upon authenticated and documented historical fact, partially upon written religious tradition and partially upon speculation. There is a vast amount of literature on the Lost Tribes and no specific source can be relied upon for a complete answer.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1090024.html

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Brystiger

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakub_Berman

Between 1944-1956 Berman was a member of Politbiuro of Polish United Workers' Party (PUWP) responsible for Urząd Bezpieczeństwa (State Security Services), propaganda, and ideology. In this capacity he was directly responsible for Stalinist-type terror and repressions against real and imagined political opponents of the communist regime in Poland. Urząd Bezpieczeństwa prosecution of ex-Home Army members, Roman Catholic Church clergy, and purges in the military, resulted in at least 6,000 death sentences, imprisonment and prosecuction of estimated 500,000 Polish patriots.

Maybe Jewish World congres would like to inherit their heritage ? and pay compensation for their crimes ?

In case of their death durring WWII. They would ask for some money for their death?

In my opinion it is Jewish congress which defrauded money which should be paid for Poland not for Israel. They think in Nazi way and make from every peson with drop of Jewish blood Jew... If they want to think in this way they should be ready to pay compensation for all crimes commited in Stalinist Poland by people who share blood with them.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

I've heard the explanation that they hadn't been "real" Jews because they gave it up to be communists - hence the jewish world does not need to feel responsible for them. *shrug*

In case of their death durring WWII ... before proven open collaboration ... they would be Jews for this congress...

This story comes to m mind :

latteisland.blogspot.com/2009/01/hitler-i-decide-who-is-jewish.html

Lehar, like Strauss, was of Jewish descent, although this again was never acknowledged by Hitler, who is believed to have said: 'I decide who is Jewish.'

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

!

Who you are ?

Going back to the facts :

Polish citizens have the world's highest count of individuals awarded medals of Righteous among the Nations, given by the State of Israel to non-Jews who saved Jews from extermination during the Holocaust.

Capital punishment of entire families, for aiding Jews, was the most draconian such Nazi practice against any nation in occupied Europe. On November 10, 1941, the death penalty was expanded by Hans Frank to apply to Poles who helped Jews (...)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_Righteous_among_the_Nations

We can deabte if it was enought or not ... but no body has done more.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

Just some examples:

First of all occupation of Poland wasn't only about the Jews...

In 1941 it was decided to destroy the Polish nation completely and the German leadership decided that in 10 to 20 years the Polish state under German occupation was to be fully cleared of any ethnic Poles

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalplan_Ost

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_of_Poland_(1939-1945)

Poland lost 6 mln citizens (murdered by occupator) and before WWII there was only 3 mln Jews in Poland.

As to marginal element ... there were such people in every ethnic group.

Jewish Ghetto Police (German: Jüdische Ghetto-Polizei, Jüdischer Ordnungsdienst), also known as the Jewish Order Service and referred by the Jews as the Jewish Police, were the auxiliary police units organized in the Jewish ghettos by the local Judenrat councils under German Nazi orders.[1] The Jewish Order Service was also active in some of the Nazi concentration camps.

The Polish-Jewish historian and the Warsaw Ghetto archivist Emanuel Ringelblum has described the cruelty of the ghetto police as "at times greater than that of the Germans, the Ukrainians and the Latvians

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Ghetto_Police

What is more in such conditions some people became really bad for their countryman...

Anny way. Fact that somebody values Christian life less than Jewish is racist.

Lets say Polish Christian victims haven't received 5% of what Jews received ... what shows only racial policy of German government after WWII. No more no less.

It is all about money : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marek_Edelman

Marek Edelman (born December 31, 1922) is a Polish political and social activist, cardiologist, and last living leader of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. He lives in £ódź.

In the summer of 2007 an Israeli youth group came to £ódź in order to make documentary films with a group of Polish youth. One of the films was made about Marek Edelman, and emphasized the fact that the Israeli youngsters had never heard of Edelman, supposedly because he had been anti-zionist. While the filming, the group met Edelman and interviewed him.

You know why they don't talk about him ... because if he died ... Israel would get money! and he had anti-zionist views. What makes compensation issue more difficult because in case of his death durring wwii they would get money for him not Poland.... Now they would ask for his property and this guy had anti-zionst views...

Sombody made form every person with drop of Jewish blood ... Israels on Polish soil.

As to Polish christian victimes - well I don't see the difference between christain Poles burned in concetration camps and "alleged" Israelis on Polish soil (because they all were zionist). The fact that Germany hasn't copensated Polish state as they compensated Israel ... it is strange ...

What is more in my opinion it has much more to do with PR than morality.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Ghetto_Police

In Warsaw Ghetto the Jewish police numbered 2500 people, in Ghetto Litzmannstadt 1200, in Lviv Ghetto 500 people etc.[3]

The Polish-Jewish historian and the Warsaw Ghetto archivist Emanuel Ringelblum has described the cruelty of the ghetto police as "at times greater than that of the Germans, the Ukrainians and the Latvians."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_Ringelblum

Shortly before the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Ringelblum together with his family was smuggled out of the Ghetto and hidden on the "Aryan" side. However, on March 7, 1944 his refuge was discovered by the Germans; Ringelblum with his family were executed together with the family of Poles who hid them.

Another opinon by a holocaust survivor:

as to the miths:
KPP was communistic organistaion in Poland before WWII ...

Jews constituted 53% of the "active members" of the KPP, 75% of its "publication apparatus," 90% of the "international department for help to revolutionaries" and 100% of the "technical apparatus" of the Home Secretariat. In Polish court proceedings against communists between 1927 and 1936, 90% of the accused were Jews. In terms of membership, before its dissolution in 1938, 25% of KPP members were Jews; most urban KPP members were Jews—a substantial number, given an 8.7% Jewish minority in prewar Poland.

Source :

Poland's Holocaust: Ethnic Strife, Collaboration with Occupying Forces and Genocide.... McFarland & Company. pp. 36–37.

Even your Der Spiegel mentioned some graves of ethnic Poles in eastern Poland under Soviet occupation (1939).

Anny way ... I am not going to accuse anny ethinc group.

Germans came to Poland with plan and made it real. Murdered milions of people ... 6 mln citizens ... it is not so easy to clean te hands as long as one ethnic group received huge compensation and other haven't.

/wiki/Emil_August_Fieldorf

The charges against her were initiated by the Commission for Investigating Crimes against the Polish Nation, which claimed that Wolińska was an "accessory to a court murder", classified as a Stalinist crime, and is punishable by up to 10 years in prison. The case attracted international attention.[1]Wolińska-Brus died 26 November 2008

and here is his dauther talking about ethnic grup of people who murdered him :



I don't care if it is popular subject in the world but you can't change facts.

/wiki/Helena_Wolińska-Brus

Wolińska was born in a Polish Jewish family in Warsaw,

Lt. Col. Helena Wolińska-Brus (1919-2008) (born as Fajga Mindla Danielak) was a military prosecutor in Poland with the rank of lieutenant-colonel (podpułkownik), involved in Stalinist regime show trials of the 1950s. She has been implicated in the arrest - and in some cases death - of key figures in Poland's anti-Nazi resistance.

It wasn't mith ... and I am not accusing anny ethnic group.

As to WWII: /wiki/Rescue_of_Jews_by_Poles_during_the_Holocaust

Polish Jews were the primary victims of the German Nazi-organized Holocaust. Throughout the German occupation of Poland, many Polish gentiles - at great risk to themselves and their families - rescued Jews from the Nazis. Evidence indicates there were more Polish rescuers than people from any other nation.[1]

As to Germans: /wiki/Occupation_of_Poland_(1939-1945)

Over 6 million Polish citizens - nearly 21.4% of the pre-war population of the Second Polish Republic - died between 1939 and 1945.[64] Over 90% of the death toll involved non-military losses, as most civilians were targets of various deliberate actions by the Germans and Soviets.[64]

Both occupiers wanted not only to gain Polish territory, but also to destroy Polish culture and the Polish nation as a whole

Losses by ethnic group were 3,100,000 Jews; 2,000,000 ethnic Poles

Nothing makes your responisiblity for ethnic Poles killed lower.

Here is full info about this organisation:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Cross_Mountains_Brigade

NSZ(Narodowe Siły Zbrojne) - Obława



We can debate about this small brigade ... and their engagement. Finaly they weren't shot in the head or hanged by some of communistic (not all Jews were commies) Holocaust survivors or NKVD which murdered or imprisoned most of anti-Nazi resistance members in Poland....

Like for example Żegota members :en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Żegota

"Żegota" ( [ʐˈɡɔt̪a] (help·info)), also known as the "Konrad Żegota Committee,"[1] was a codename for the Council to Aid Jews (Rada Pomocy Żydom), an underground organization in German-occupied Poland from 1942 to 1945.

It operated under the auspices of the Polish Government in Exile through the Government Delegation for Poland, in Warsaw. Żegota's express purpose was to aid the country's Jews and find places of safety for them in occupied Poland. Poland was the only country in occupied Europe where there existed such a dedicated secret organization

Yes it is true... most of them was imprisoned or murdered after the war ...

Polish hatred towards Jews...

Well we already know all stereotypes. Now going back to responsibility.

Jews aren't responsible for their guards or collaborators. Jews were victims of Nazi Germany. Poles were victimes of Nazi Germany and Soviets ...

Life of 2 000 000 people killed by Germans isn't worth less than 3 000 000 Jews killed by Germans.

Oh well Jewish elites were cooperationg with Polish aris elites ... nothing wrong with that.

As for successes of this group ... well poor unsuccessful Jews were discriminated in their society and pushed out ... many of them changed names and beacame Poles it was normal parctise until 19 century ... how many of you can trace thier family history to 1750 ? ... How to say it ... at the end many unsuccesful Jews became Polish ... mentioned before lawers were Jewish.

Not always thought :

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Jewish_Labour_Union

What is more in veins of hated so much by some posters of this forum Jews ... is a lot of Polish blood. As long as Jewness goes throught mother ... many Jewish woman wanted their kids to look more Polish and they have been choosing Polish partners for such reason ... without marriage.

While those countries have opposed restitution of property whose owners left behind no heirs

If Berman was killed durring WWII without heirs ... this organisation would ask for his properties ... so maybe they sould bear responsibility for his actions.
