History / Armia Krajowa - Polish underground forces during WWII [4]

In today's magazin "Polska Zbrojna" ("Poland Armed") there is an article-interview with Jan Bohdan Chmielewski who worked in a group of execution AK.

Contrary to many beliefs do not necessarily depend on nationality. High importance was the social origin. Polish patriotism flourished mainly at courts and among the urban intelligentsia, especially those of Grodno. However, the village was set indifferent or reluctant, but certainly not hostile.

After resolving the Army I made it the second time in 1945, but I confess that even I did not ask, what exactly is the organization it is filed. I knew that is a continuation of the AK, but I had no clue, what are its goals. I believed that patriotic. And right after the events, which have been really hard for me to agree. I learned, for example, that was the sentence of death on my colleague from the guerrillas just because they assumed - I do not know whether voluntarily or by necessity - a soldier's uniform Polish People's Army.

Genealogy / Surnames: Sierzputowski & Skrocki [25]

Brmislawa

Bronisława

My father's name was spelled Sierputowski. I do not know how the name change came about. They settled in Cleveland Ohio. That's all I know

It's been changed for easier pronunciation maybe.

Travel / Krakow or Warsaw for a 25yr old? [12]

Krakow has more history, and a great night life.
Warszawa has less history and even more night life.
Both cities are worth visiting. You decide.

Enjoy and come back here to tell us how you liked it.

Law / A father (foreigner) of a Polish child. How to protect my/daughter's rights? [19]

Should I get any kind of written agreement (involving lawers)?

Yes! ASAP!

What is she refuses to sign anything?

She will. A lawyer will know what and how to do it.

It may get nasty in the future, so better prepare yourelf and your daughter for that now. 1200 zl is pretty good money. She'll probably get less when signed in the court, but who knows.

Good luck!

Law / WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE EURO CURRENCY TO POLAND? [101]

EU seems more shaky to many Poles than ever before. Is this indeed the case? Was the recession to blame or has the EU idea simply spent itself and run out of steam?

EU will not survive. It was meant to collapse since the beginning.

Language / Diminutives (zdrobnienie) for Sylwia [12]

Sylwia?

I have a friend named Sylwia. I call her sometimes Sylwuś, Sylwunia, Sylwek (Sylwek is diminutive for Sylwester, but I like calling her that; just like Kasia-Kasiek).
