Sorry, you cherish illusions like Isthatu. Normans, although a bit delayed, can be still classified as the Founding Fathers of England. Procrastinating Fathers, so called.

E.g., what do you know about Domesday Book?

Life / Street names in Polish towns/cities [26]


Of course. Most Polish street names come after famous people, mostly Poles but foreigners too.


You don`t need to become one. It is enough you make a career and then you can name squares/streets in your property as you wish:

Life / Polish females who made it [29]

Yes!!!
[i]On 16 October 1978, she became the third woman, the first Pole and the first European woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest. In 1986 she became the first woman to successfully climb and descend K2, which she did without supplemental oxygen, as part of a small expedition led by Lilliane and Maurice Barrard. Her triumph was marred when both the Barrards died on the descent, becoming two of thirteen climbers to die on K2 that summer.

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [593]


Why?

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [593]

Great man, indeed. Personification of humanity.

Janusz Korczak, the pen name of Henryk Goldszmit[1] (July 22, 1878 or 1879 - August 1942), was a Polish-Jewish educator, children's author, and pediatrician known as Pan Doktor ("Mr. Doctor") or Stary Doktor ("Old Doctor"). After spending many years working as director of an orphanage in Warsaw, he refused freedom and stayed with his orphans when the institution was sent from the Ghetto to Treblinka extermination camp, during the Grossaktion Warsaw of 1942.[2]

There are many schools and education institutions named after him all over Poland.

Bronisław Malinowski who wrote The Sex Life of Savages ???

Edit: oops, sorry, I read on about King Maciuś and realised it must be Janusz Korczak, the Teacher!

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [593]


Because when I admit that Poles owe much to him, I will be instantly attacked by maniacal right wing antisemites like gumishu. Do I need it? Do I need to unleash hell?? Tell me.


Cockroaches under pillows!!! :):):)

I am not going to answer this highly provocative question. Sorry, I must go to bed. Goodnight! :):):)

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [593]


Yes, their poems have been translated in to several languages. They have already been put in the Hall of Fame and will be known as major contributors to culture till the end of this fekking world.

Who translated Morozowski and other guys and after how many years will they be still remembered? :):)

Come on, girls, don`t tell me you don`t realise such basic things. :):):) I am really short of time as winter holidays have finished. :):):):)


OK, so what do all/most Poles owe to Kazimiera Szczuka, can you tell me? ?????? :):):):) And some other guys whose names I cannot recall without checking your posts but I don`t have time for it. I only remember Wildstein but can we say that most Poles owe sth to him? Come on.......

Simply speaking, I strive to present people who are generally acknowledged as valuable contributors for Poland and Poles. When Morozowski wins Pulitzer Prize, I will write about him. Currently, he is just one of many and his disappearance won`t make a big loss to Polish culture.

I just think it is deeply unfair to put Julian Tuwim and a Morozowski in one thread.

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [593]


I only watch the news twice or thrice a month.

Locally, because they are only known in Poland. I don`t care if some armpit villagers from Belarus watch Polish TV and recognise Morozowski and other guys.

Simple.


Yes! Very good. She is known globally.


Above.

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [593]


Right! :):):):)
OK, the title of the new thread should be: Contemporary, locally known Poles with Jewish roots.

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [593]

Sorry guys, but you are wandering off a bit. Although they are known people, we certainly can`t classify them as worthy of being put in this thread whose title you know. Come on, comparing Wildstein and Tuwim!!??:?

Please, stop polluting this thread with random names. Create a new thread called: Contemporary Poles of Jewish origin.

No, keep your Baigeleh, we don`t need them, the daily production in Krakow is 70.000. :):):)


My staple addition has always been salt. Big chunks of salt from Wieliczka mine. :):):)


Peace? We don`t need any peace bringing. We are peaceful people. :"):):):)


Oh, really? I forgot about it, indeed.


I bought a big lump of chałwa last week and today I am looking at it and it has become so tiny!! :):):)


Yes! Even the name is Arabic.


Really? Thanks to Jews? I had no idea.

Life / Do young Polish people believe in their religion and God? [150]

Dread, staying in Poland is definitely beneficial for your complexes. :):):):) In your own country you used to be white trash, but in Poland you are a lord.

Is it the reason why so many Brit expats come here? :):):)

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [593]

OK , this way or another, never mind.
The problem is that the discussion about bagels is senseless here as Poles do not owe them to Jews. It is quite the opposite.

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [593]


:):):) Krakow obwarzanek is a bit older than bagle.


Oh my God, you ruined my reputation in the PF now!!! :):):):):):):):):)

PS. Hey, come on, how many Poles reside in Poland at present? :):)

News / Cardinal Józef Glemp has died aged 83. Cardinal Macharski too. [10]


Ok, would you mind revealing your precious views on Glemp now?
Be careful, think twice before you write anything. Remember:

You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say or do may be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the forum member and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future.

If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning, if you wish.
If you decide to answer any questions now, without an attorney present, you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney.

Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present?

I am sorry but I suppose you mistake two products:

Jewish bagel



and Polish Krakowian obwarzanek



Today, Poles don`t eat bagels. They eat obwarzanki.

News / Cardinal Józef Glemp has died aged 83. Cardinal Macharski too. [10]

Isnt` it all funny as hell? :):):) You are so lost......

But there is still one thing you should like him for. Do you know what I mean?

No. Most minnow species are strictly protected in Poland.

News / Cardinal Józef Glemp has died aged 83. Cardinal Macharski too. [10]

I am sure that if you had lived at the time, you would heavily critisize him for his calls for peace and moderation, addressed to the opposition. You would call him a Soviet agent, wouldn`t you? :):):):):):)

Or not, you undercover agent of an antiPolish lobby?

Eh, Ironsik, you are such a troubled man. :):):):)
