and what about these rapes by Red Army soldiers? My mother's friend was concentration camp prisoner of Majdanek - she told me, that "molodcy' raped even these starved and filthy, half-dead women....

History / Warsaw Rising 1944 - National Disaster or Triumph of Spirit ? [395]

grubas: What would be the point?What you are saying is pretty ignorant and/or dumb.Oh really? Why is it dumb? Because they were Jews (Polish citizens though) or because both Uprisings didn't make any sense since it was clear that there was no realistic chance for success?

No, because in '43 AK have almost no weapons then!
From '43 to 44' they were producing machine gun Sten, hand granades {filipinka, sidolówka}, Molotov cocktails, flamethrowers, granade launchers, mortars, explosives, even buying weapons from german soldiers, whose morale was much lower then....

ubas: The point was to free Warsaw.so if you did it together in 1943, it wouldn't be the same in your eyes? They were also Poles (Polish Jews). As I said, the chances were the same.

no, it wasn't

News / 70% of Poles like Komorowski. Do you? [120]

It is believed that Tusk's grand dad was serving in the German Army as s Volskdeutsch... A treator to the Polish state...

yes, he was Wermacht soldier it's true, but earlier he was arrested by gestapo als polish fanatic, who was a great threat to III Reich. He was in Stuthoff camp, and later in KZ Neuengamme (his number was 5939). He was released in 1943. In 1944 Hitler had a great need for 'cannon fodder' , so in August Józef Tusk [like other Kaszebe] was by force conscripted into the army. In October 1944 he escaped and enlisted in Polish Armed Forces in the West

Polonius. You profess to be such a Catholic, yet you have little to no understanding of a thing called "Forgiveness".

you forgot: before receiving forgiveness the culprit should repentant, ask for forgiveness and right a wrong...

History / What do Poles owe to Czechs? [72]

I am waiting for the regular polonia crowd to tell that the Czechs are actually Jews :)

pathetic, even if it was meant to be a joke

as to the other polish Czechs:
Wacław Żywny - teacher of Fryderyk Chopin
Igor Neverly - writer [1/3 Czech]
Leopold Staff - very good poet, son of Frantisek Staff, confectioner from Lvov
Jan Styka - painter, son of Czech-austrian officer
Karol Szajnocha - famous historian, writer, son of germanized Czech, Scheinoha-Vtelenský, and polish woman
Aleksander Augezdecky - XVI century pilish printer and editor

But it failed to explain why the Michnikite rag has so hotly opposed any form of de-communisation or lustration. over the years. Maybe the memory of Michnik's dad, mum and brother (all Stalinist collaborators) and otehrs like them in the leftist-liebral camp -- both living and dead -- has something to do with it.

I don't think so - both his parents were dead then, I think, his brother in Sweden, but in Unia Wolności there were people like Maleszka, who were afraid of this archives...

And this is why I think the files should have been locked up and not accessed until the last person born under Communism had died

easy to say.... Don't you think, that [if - and it's highly probably, as SB have a lot of documents stolen and/or copied] someone [foreigner or Polish could blackmail some politicians in order to gain political or economical gains?

The ducks' father was a clear commie collaborator.

I don't think so. I was talking about him with Juliusz Englert [also an insurgent - he was about 17 years old then]

museumoflondon.org.uk/Get-involved/Collaborative-projects/Belonging/PStories/World/Seperate/
pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juliusz_Englert

And his opinion about R. Kaczyński was very high

And yet he managed to give lecturers to Party members despite being a member of the AK who was in a POW camp? In Stalinist Poland? Hmm.

my uncle was an insurgent like Rajmund Kaczyński and was in POW camp - nonetheless he was teaching at the Warsaw University [perhaps most of the students were members of commie youth and party] and then [after Stalin died] - a member of Polish Academy of Sciences. It's true, that he couldn't travel abroad [till 1959]. And nor he nor my aunt were ever members of party [not even SD]. And they are not listed in archives of IPN.

no, it's not true... Commies needed educated people as teachers, engineers etc. - A lot of average members of AK and insurgents wasn't prosecuted. I don't remember stalinism, but my parents, members of my family and my brother remember it quite well. And in cause of Warsowians - they wanted to rebuild their city "in spite" of Germans and Russians, so they have to work for commies. Not all of them believed in outbreak of 3. war, you know...

of their proven-traitorous swine of a father. How many of his former brothers did he betray to get where he got? I wonder.

Proven? How and by whom? It's interesting - you demand proof w case of Wałesa, and in case of Rajmund Kaczyński - not.

As to the proofs and irchives - my late aunt was working in Naczelna Dyrekcja Archiwów Państwowych [ca.1989] and she told me then, how michnikites at consortes were taking out a lot of case files...

it's likely that it would still be a very poor and undeveloped region.

I dont't think so - remember the Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski's plans of COP [including Lvov]
