Law / Opening a Polish Bank Account by a foreigner in Poland. Recommendations. [299]

I opened 2 accounts with Bank Zachodni WBK, one a £ sterling account the other a PLN account. It was very simple to do at the branch with a passport.

The idea of the 2 is that i can transfer easily from my UK account to the £ account for free whenever I want, then I can transfer to my PLN account whenever the exchange rate suits me (again for free).

The account has a Visa debit card and has been ideal for all my needs so far.

History / Question about Warsaw Ghetto (shared building?) and Monument [29]

From another forum, can anyone help?

I hope someone knows the answer to this. Was there a building shared between the Warsaw ghetto and the non-ghetto side? I researched this and one source said there was 1 building. Anyone know which one it is? And have a picture of it?

Polish vodka is the best in the world nowadays. I respect my russian brothers but it's true.

Sevcio, haven't you been reading? English Vodka is officially the best in the world at the moment. English Vodka, best in world.

History / Should David Irving, Holocaust denier, be allowed to run tours to Poland? [246]

It seems that the, formerly convicted, British Holocaust denier David Irving is starting to run tours to former nazi concentration camps and other sites in Poland.

The Nigdy Więcej (Never Again) anti-racist organisation have called for 'Holocaust denier' British historian David Irving to be banned from entering Poland later this month.

Starting September 27, Irving is leading a tour party, with tickets costing around 1,500 euros each, taking in sites including the Treblinka death camp, Warsaw Ghetto and Hitler's Bunker in the Masurian lake district.

Holocaust denier to lead tours to Auschwitz and Treblinka. Is Holocaust denial illegal in Poland?

As long as you have an address in UK that you can use for correspondence (Parents, family etc) then just apply for the renewal with a change of address.
