History / Poles in the Crusades to the Holy Land [75]

I do know that the early ancestors of the Polish Dabrowa clan fought in The holy land.

When this early ancestor of the Clan Dabrowa distinguished himself by his courage at Jerusalem, Godfrey de Bouillon, was King of Jerusalem. This gallant foreign knight had bestowed on him, via Godfrey Bouillon, a new coat of arms. The coat of arms was a rendition of Calvary Hill (Golgotha). Golgotha was the hill upon which Our Lord Jesus Christ's was crucified with two thieves. The new arms would bear three crosses patée, in the center; and one cross patée fitched on each side of the middle cross. These crosses were called "Dabrowa," in Polish.

After this knight returned from Palestine, he took the same path through Poland. He was fond of the scenery so he settled in Poland and his descendants still exist there today

History / Polish history is 100% glorious [297]


W/e!!!!!!


Many jews were commies. So were many poles, russians, germans etc etc...


Well it didn't come from Poland, and i've never heard that stuff in Poland.

It actually started in England ;)

Jews of Norwich were accused of ritual murder after a boy, William of Norwich, was found dead with stab wounds. The legend was turned into a cult, with William acquiring the status of martyr and crowds of pilgrims bringing wealth to the local church. In 1189, the Jewish deputation attending the coronation of Richard the Lionheart was attacked by the crowd. Massacres of Jews at London and York soon followed. On Feb 6 1190, all the Norwich Jews were found slaughtered in their houses, except a few who found refuge in the castle. Jews would later be expelled from all of England in 1290 and not allowed to return until 1655. In 1171, Blois was the site of a blood libel accusation against its Jewish community that led to 31 Jews (by some accounts 40) being burned to death.

So blame the brits ;)


i guess the communist jews did that? Would't you welcome a commie if you yourself were one?

Many Jews joined the Polish army and fought bravely,

The communist propaganda about the blood sucking Polish Szlachta that beat their serfs to death and the antisemitic poles kinda worked well it seems :)


Common give me a break...

History / Polish history is 100% glorious [297]


Maybe you should stop being so ignorant?

Lets check some Pre WW2 pogroms MR ignorant ;)

There was a Pogrom, in Ireland in the late nineteenth century.

Census returns record one Jew in Limerick in 1861. This doubled by 1871 and doubled again by 1881. Increases to 35, 90 and 130 are shown for 1888, 1892, and 1896 respectively. Having fled from persecution in Lithuania, a small number of Jewish tradespeople began arriving in Limerick in 1878. They initially formed an accepted part of the city's retail trade, centred on Collooney St. The community established a synagogue and a cemetery in the 1880s. Easter Sunday of 1884 saw the first of what were to be a series of sporadic violent antisemitic attacks and protests. The wife of Lieb Siev and his child were injured by stones and her house damaged by an angry crowd. In 1892 two families were beaten and a stoning took place on November 24, 1896. Many details about Limerick's Jewish families are recorded in the 1901 census that shows most were peddlers, though a few were described as drapery dealers and grocers.

Some more cases OUTSIDE Russia and Poland

In 1945, anti-Jewish rioters in Tripoli, Libya killed 140 Jews.

In 1927, there were pogroms in Oradea (Romania).

In the Americas, there was a pogrom in Argentina in 1919, during the Tragic Week

On 1–2 June 1941, the Farhud pogrom in Iraq killed between 200 and 400 Jews.

Massacres of Jews at London and York in 1189–1190.

Mobs in Fez murdered thousands of Jews, leaving only 11 alive, in 1465

During the World War II Vichy regime which had collaborated with the Gestapo to detain Jews, as for example in the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup of 16–17 July 1942.

I can go on forever with this...

Genealogy / Do Polish people have big noses? [450]

Did she have a head like this?

Genealogy / Do Polish people have big noses? [450]

The broader the flatter head



en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Races_of_Europe_%281899_book%29

You will find people with a flat head everywhere in Europe. you find more of them to the south then to the north because scandinavia and great britain was more isolated and didn't mix so much like they did in the european continent.
