History / The restoration of Polish cities from WW2 destruction [123]

Why wasn't Krakow destroyed - did the Russians arrive too quickly or did the German commander disobey orders???

Life / Famous Polish people (that we have actually heard of) [231]

The two most famous Poles????

North and South.

Boom boom.

Seriously

Karol Józef Wojtyła
Lech Walesa
Roman Polanski
Marie Curie (did not know she was Polish until recently)
Fryderyk Chopin (also did not know he was Polish until recently)
Tadeusz Kosciuszko (but only because I’m Australian and our highest mountain was named after him)

There are probably others that I did not know were Polish.
