Love / Polish girls don't go for one night stands, is it true? [56]

I believe all women are beautiful and that most and I do say most single women would like romance not just a one night stand. You can post pictures of models from all countries and they all are stunning , unfortunately we cannot all be models so we have to make the most of what we are .

History / WW2 Civilian Forced Labourer [8]

Hmmmm that is a shame because they maybe would have alot of things to share with you . Sometimes I feel from speaking to my friends family in Poland about that time some just want to forget for many reasons. Some feel they did not do enough , some feel it was non of their business like I said before Cherryjam it is a very declicate subject , you can go to Poland and try and find someone to help you there I am sure they do have records but like you said the language gap is a problem although you can pay an interpreter to help you it just depends on how much you have to throw at this in regards time and money . Actually you could make it an holiday Poland is so beautiful very much worth visiting anyway.

I wish I could help you more .

History / WW2 Civilian Forced Labourer [8]

It is a very interesting part of your family history and you never know what you will find when you start to look into it ... are there any other family members you can talk to that may be able to help you ?

I will have a look in my research and see if there was any reason why people were 'forced' to move to another country , if I find anything out i will let you know .

Good luck with your search
Kind regards

History / WW2 Civilian Forced Labourer [8]

Hello Cherryjam

Being interested in Polish history I have read many books on Poland in this most horrific time. When the war ended some Polish people where advised not to return to their homes because their home no longer belonged to them or they just where not there anymore , also many Polish people lost a huge amount of their families so again no family to return to.

I read that Poland was suffering has a country for many years after the war ( cold war ) plus anti-sematic people still resided in Poland and some still feared they would be persecuted for their faith.

So many Polish people helped the Jews they hide them in their homes or on their farms at the huge risk of getting caught and all their family members would lose their lifes.

I am slightly reluctant to talk about subjects like this in a public forum has it can ( not always ) cause alot of pain and arguments . I have really' tiptoed around' with my answer 'sorry' but I just felt the need to share a little of what I have learnt.
