Genealogy / Do you consider Gorals, Lemkos, and Silesians Poles? [35]

Nationality is often intertwined with ethnicity, leading to often umwanted questions regarding personal or political loyalties. Poland's no exception. Just look at Turkey and thd Kurds; they say they're Turkish and Erdogan says their not.

History / What Hitler really thought about Poles? Hitler's letter to Himmler 1944 [111]

What separates humans from the four-legged variety of animal is their practiced ability to control language. Those high-minded verities (basic truths) you sneer at are the only things worth defending:-) If not, then might as well move into the local zoo and rent space next to a tiger, hippo or giraffe!

Quit rationalízing! By the end of '45, even the winners were losers if their sons or daughters tragically perished in the eternal pursuit of justice. Sacrifice too has its human limits! In the oft quoted words of four-star general and hero Omar Bradley, "We won a war and lost a peace, we know more about death than we do about killing than we do about living. This is the 2Oth century's claim to progress and distinction."
