News / Is there anything Poland won't do for money? "Wolf's Lair" - up for rent" [59]

Smurf, you might not believe that, but Hollywood is not a source of historical information for everybody.
Stauffenberg being a Nazi doesn't change a fact that Wilczy Szaniec is important historical site, that should be preserved.

Well, I do see a reason to preserve a place where Claus von Stauffenberg tried to assassinate Hitler.

As for the territory: it's huge. Russia took about 60% of I Rzeczpospolita Polska (Republic of Poland). These land consist of present: Ucraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia and eastern district (powiat) of podlaskie province (województwo). So you would have to look for Krasnosiek? not only in present Poland.

It is possible that your great grandfather couldn't go to America because Germans didn't allow him to do that. Although he was from territories occupied by Russians, in order to go to America he had to go to German seaports. They were in polish territories occupied by Germany or in Germany (e.g. Hamburg).

Love / What to do for my PL girlfriend on her name day? [6]

Name day is similar to birthday, so you can buy her a present and take her for a dinner.
In Poland name day party is mostly organised by host in his/her home. Family and frieds come on that day with presents and name day wishes. Women (especially older) also are given flowers.

Language / Is Polish amongst the best-sounding languages in the world? [123]


I don't think that Czech language sounds like that because of Celtic influence. The biggest influence on Czech had German language.
In middle ages czech and polish languages were very similar, almost the same. Czech had a greate impact on polish language, especially on grammar and vocabulary (most of the words related to christianity in polish comes from czech).

Later, when Habsburgs became kings of Bohemia, German became language for nobles and czech started to be considered as peasanst language. Both languages started to mingle.
