History / An American studying medicine in the PRL 1978-1985: my story [142]

It was very funny! Too bad I don't have a pic. He was a sight: gangly, big nose and smile protruding from underneath his proletariat beret. The only thing missing was a Gauloises smoldering in between his teeth. He was so proud of himself :)

Googled him :) Hi is still alive in California. Polish wife, 2 kids , one grandchild ... but no beret :) on pictures.

History / Defying Germaniztion in 1901 Polish boy writes 'German girls are ugly' [128]

You mean that part of the German Empire that is now Poland again? ;)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrze%C5%9Bnia

In 1905 the town was inhabited by about 7000 people of which 65.4% were Poles, 28.9% Germans and 5.5% Jews. In the surrounding county, Poles comprises 85.6% of the population. In 1920, the city once again became part of Poland.
