@@YadVenturess I'm Polish can tell you never see How Germans destroy in world war ll Poland look absolute different before it will no space or any other space Hitler level with ground Warsaw that all
Warsaw is one of my favourite cities. Poland as a whole is one of the absolute favourite European countries: extremely easy to get around, friendly and just nice country with great cities (not just Warsaw), good public transport, very safe, good food, good people and good value for money. A combination of good things that aren't that easy to come by in one place in Europe these days. And yes, this needs to be mentioned too: Poland doesn't seem have the social issues mostly related to failed immigration policies like we see in some (not all) other European countries which kept sticking to those bad policies despite them clearly not working as intended. So to answer the question "is Poland the greatest country in Europe?" I would say "perhaps".
I absolutely disagree with calling the Warsaw destroyers of 1939 as Nazis. They were Germans and Austrians. Nazis didn't come from space. It was the Germans and Austrians who created this hell in the beginning.
yes, we're very sensitive when it comes to changing the history of WWII, and calling our executioners of those years "Nazis" from the mysterious planet Nazi, it is a slap in the face for us and whitewashing of German crimes :)
@@ukaszs5057 Well, Nazi is an ideology, not a synonim for German. Warsaw was destroyed by Nazi Germans plus some troops of Nazi collaborators from various countries. But not all the Germans were Nazis, although in reality of totalitarian regime they had to hide their attitude. Being fiercely nationalistic may happen everywhere and often lead to mass crimes&homicide 😩
@@agnieszkakowalska7564 what? Saying that were Nazists is harmful to Poles and it is belittling German fault. Can't you understand that that's way they want to say that Germans are not responsible for Holocaust and all the crime were committed just by Nazists which were in all nations also in Poland, that is completely not true. You completely dont understand history and German histical policy. For Poles is extremely important to underline that it were Germans otherwise people might thing that death camps in Poland were establish and maintained not by Germans only but by Nazists which comes from many nations, and since they were located in Poland people might thing that that Nazists were also Poles. This is the purpose of German historical Policy to make people think this way. It is really pathetic that Pole like you cannot understand. Please learn history... Who elected Hitler on democratic elections, who conquered Europe, who made soap from humans, who killed 6 milions of Polish citizens. GERMANS!!!
I was there in 1985 when it was communist to visit family. I went back this summer after 40 years. The Poles are truly gifted and resilient. Do Krakow also please!
IT was comunist after USA and UK sold Poland to the soviets in Yalta and Potsdam even Polish cntribution to the victory against germany was 3rd biggest in western allies just after USA and UK. We will always remember that
Poland is a fabulous country with beautiful cities and stunning architecture. I`m always impressed with how elegant, clean and safe everything is. While still better value than most of Europe it is catching up fast, make the most of it while it lasts.
Well said, the future won't be as cheap. Marketing that the country receives recently is attrackting many tourists and investors, so that will definitely have a negative impact on prices (from groceries to real estates) and on the level of ethnicity and safety (I'm not racist, I'm just saying that people would prefer selling properties to foreginers for better prices in euros rather than to locals with zlotys, who cannot afford buying in the EU-standard price range). But that was going to happen sooner or later anyway, since Poland "decided" to become a western country
glad to see you in places i visited 5 years ago . Warsaw was the cleanest city i have ever been to , i only had a glimpse of its river which looked so nice , worth to have been included in the video 😀
One thing I must stay I am very impressive about your knowledge about my country . Usually most of UA-camrs who are coming to Poland they don’t know much or don’t know on purpose to reach more comments, hence my subscription. All the best!
It's really important to remember that a lot of countries lead the political history, so they germany. Past is past, BUT we shouldn't forgot about thruth. THERE'S NO MYTHICAL NAZI- that was germany, and we should always remember about it.
This Polish Gutenberg Bible is absolutely unique. On one of the pages there is an ink stain from the font wooden block that has been accidentally dropped on it. Thanks to this we get to know how big those blocks were. I am from Gdańsk and recommend you visiting this city as well as Sopot and Gdynia that all next to each other.
That's really interesting and thank you for sharing! We would love to visit Gdańsk in the future we've heard great things about it and can't wait to explore more of the country.
Westfield Mokotów, earlier known as Galeria Mokotów was opened in year 2000. Was modernized 2 times. Shopping Malls in Warsaw are in very good shape, always clean and updated.
Nice video. Just one request coming from a Pole. When referring to who destroyed the city let's avoid this rather general term "the Nazis". Those who did it were very much real and exist(ed) as a nation called the Germans. You mentioned the Swedes and the Russians who also did their part so why being so foggy in case of the Germans. Let's be accurate. Thanks again for the video.
Great video tour of Warsaw. I plan to fly there and travel to Lviv in Ukraine but now I might just stay & tour Warsaw. Looks like a great place to retire. Here in US its getting expensive. Looking forward to seeing more of Poland.

In fact, Poles rebuilt about 20% of pre-war Warsaw, because rebuilding all the historical buildings was beyond the capabilities of the war-ravaged country, especially since the post-war system did not encourage "extravagant" ideas
German forces dedicated an unprecedented effort to razing the city, destroying 80-90% of Warsaw's buildings, including the vast majority of museums, art galleries, theaters, churches, parks, and historical buildings such as castles and palaces. They deliberately demolished, burned, or stole an immense part of Warsaw's cultural heritage. After the war, extensive work was put into rebuilding the city according to pre-war plans and historical documents.GERMANS not NATZI'S!!!!!!!!!
03:00 and 04:25. Warsaw was destroyed by Germans, not some stateless nazis from the moon. Strange you seem to mention Sweden, Russia and then nazis from the moon. This is funny.
They WERE NAZIS, and among them: Germans, Austrians, Latvians, Ukrainians, Norwegians and even Russians, not those from the Red Army but those who belonged to the Waffen SS. I mean The 29. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS „RONA”. The Warsaw Uprising began on the same day that Heinrich Himmler signed an order for the establishment of the division (1 August 1944). Part of the brigade was sent to Warsaw, where the unit again committed numerous atrocities. It murdered 10,000 Poles on the 19th of August alone. This is the historical truth. Using the term "Germans" also miraculously removes responsibility for the crimes of World War II from the Austrians, who suffered no consequences after the war. It should be remembered that the personnel managing the extermination camps in Treblinka, Bełżec and Sobibór came mainly from Austria and Ukraine.
no, it was destroyed by national socialist (which btw. were also a left wing socialist variation. 'right wing' does not exist, thats a left wing projection which should be obvious) Germans back then in an older generation while no democratic Germans destroyed Warsaw. And the situation was in general back then a bit different, because you had nationalist/ethnic Slavic views as well (already before), because many parts of Europe became back then nationalist and got a focus on ethnicity back then. That wasnt just a mystical German thing (Germany was just among the most powerful nations). You also dont fight anti patriotism by trying to make Germany responsible, because its a socialist/left wing thing to blame others as Nazis while they - part of the entire problem as socialists (all socialists were more or less Nazis and are till this day antisemitic/antizionist - together with Islam the ones who spread it most over the world). Most Nazi and fascist movements (which btw. were also left wing - learn fucking history) were Marxist, many supported also the left wing/socialist/communist movements in Russia (and many old school left wings are doing that till this day). And history is also more complicated: most of the time a huge part of Poland was a mixed culture of Germans/Poles (or before Celtic, Germanic and Slavic tribes, sometimes working together, sometimes fighting like each others), later there were connections and cooperations with the Germnaic Frankish Empire, later the Holy Roman Empire. Many Polish cities were with a German majority and became also wealthy due to the Hanseatic League (which is why those cities were often in focus, also later by the Swedes etc.) and Prussia/Austria - which modernized a huge part of Poland basically all the time (in difference to Russia which itself got mostly the modern influences from the West)... in general the history of Central Europe is a quite mixed one (which is also why the architecture, city structures and mentality is quite similar) and most of the time rather dynastic ... and btw. you had also Polish German Nazis just like you had Polish people treading Jews bad and already before that attacking German communities which also caused rage against Polish ppl. The entire situation back than especially in those parts of Europe was very much a re-sorting also after a too ethnic focus -ä and Polish ppl did pretty much the same. Most decisions were also rather made along some ideological lines between the different socialist idiologies and none of those were any better ...
@@publicminx What a BS 🤣 So much words for whitening and denying the obvious fact that Germany attacked, destroyed Poland and murdered 6mln of its citizens. Then Poland wasnt destroyed by Russian but stateless communists. And no Swedes but crazy imerialistic royalists from arctic region. Get lost clown. :)
@@publicminx You could say democratic Germans destroyed Warsaw and demolished Europe. Do you have to remind that Hitler was actually elected to power? Yes, German people did want that madness and happily participated and loved their leader (Fuhrer) at least as long as they were winning.

Tylko Niemcy. Austriaków bardzo cieszy takie podejście. Doskonale wyklucza ich odpowiedzialność, o co walczą od dawna uznając się za pierwszy okupowany przez III Rzeszę kraj. Pomijając Hitlera, to samo SD roiło się od Austriaków. Począwszy od SS-Obergruppenführera, szefa Głównego Urzędu Bezpieczeństwa Rzeszy (RSHA) - Ernsta Kaltenbrunnera czy SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolfa Eichmanna urodzonego w Niemczech, ale od 8 roku życia mieszkającego w Linzu .
Lived in Warsaw for a few years and Westfield mokotow was known as Galeria mokotow, looks like it has been refurbished and renamed, its 2 tram stops from my previous work place. Hope you will enjoy the history, nature and food the country has to offer! Missed Poland and looking forward for more contents from there, have fun!
Very nice and interesting film :) Please remember that Poland was not destroyed by NAZIS, BUT BY GERMANS. DON'T BE ASHAMED TO SAY - GERMANS just like Russians or Swedes - it's not a shame. So Germany attacked Poland together with Russia during II WW and also destroyed Warsaw!!! :)
Точно. Только Германия и Польша разделили Чехословакию незадолго до этого. Да и оккупацию Киева и Минска войсками Пилсудского не надо забывать, правда? 😊
This is actually wild that Poland rebuild Warsaw from paintings. As a Pole I found out about it not long ago and it really amazed me. We as a nation are really demanding and always complain about everything but I guess thats what make us improve and build so quickly.
To nie do końca prawda. Tak się powszechnie mówi, że odbudowano na podstawie obrazów Canaletto ale na tych obrazach były widoki ogólne , panoramy miasta a nie szczegółowe ujęcia budynków z bliska ze szczegółami.
That is a bullshits. There were no mistic paintings. All buildings ..all decorations..all details were photographed and drawed with all dimensions from all sides descripted by Polish architecture students and art students in 20s and 30s
Please say Germans, not Nazis. Implementing such vocabulary was a strategy intended to shift away the blame for the atrocities they committed in Poland and Europe. They claim most Germans didn't agree with Nazi policies but it was in fact the majority of Germans who enabled Nazis (who were also Germans) to do anything at all by voting them into power. It's disrespectful for the victims and their families to try to absolve their oppressors of even the smallest bit of blame. Please. It may seem like nothing but it means everything, especially in our eyes here in Poland.
DLACZEGO ? przeciez nie tylko niemcy byli nazistami, austriacy holenrzy czy nawet wegrzy :-) stad powiedzenie nazis albo nazi germans jest bardziej prawidlowe
@@toruniak216 Nazism originated in Germany and nazis of other nationalities were minorites and often consisted of colaborants after the given country was conquered. It was Germany that was in control and ran this whole operation so they are responsible.
Such a good video! I love you guys. You are talking so nice about my lovely city. I came back to Warsaw after 10y in Lnd and I think there is no place like Warsaw♥️thank you very much♥️
My beloved Warsaw My late parents ware polish but I haven't been to poland since covid blew up. Used to live in Greater London but moved to Southampton in spring 2023 Still im really hopeing to fly to warsaw sometime next year before the unthinkleble night happen. Need i say more.
Love it watching this today, im from Poland living 20yrs in Liverpool, last Time been to Warsaw about 25yrs ago, i can see big changes, big thank You for this memory travel
Nice video. Have you been to any food court place? Like Elektrownia Powiśle, Fabryka Norblina or Hala Koszyki ? These are great places to taste different cuisines and drinks . Generally Powiśle and Vistula boulevards are worth to see especially in the summer
@@barbac3742 Thank you so much for your kind comment and recommendations! These places never quite came up in my search of Warsaw, such a shame, wish we had visited, but now even more of a reason to return 🥰
14:27 It doesn't say you are wanted by Polish Gov. It says you are superstars/celebrities and you were spotted in Warsaw. The headline literally word by word translates to "Attention! Stars are among us!" 27:00 Galeria Mokotów was constructed during 1998-2000, grand opening september 2000. I believe it was one of the very first shopping malls in Warsaw. Think it was Panorama('93), Promenada ('96), Klif ('99), Reduta ('99) and then Galeria Mokotów in 2000. But shopping centres in here are renovated regularly to look fresh. Westfield Group bought few major shopping malls in Warsaw a couple years ago. Glad you are fond of our culture. Hope you enjoyed your stay and are willing to come back to see more.
Hehe yes, we later on looked up the translation, but we were just making a joke about us looking like criminals on that capture! 🫣 Thank you so much for sharing the information on the Galleria / Westfield. We had a good time, thank you, although it was a short stopover. Would like to check out other cities too in the near future! Thank you for watching ❤
Thank you for sharing all the info! We really loved Poland and can’t wait to explore more places in the future. Regarding the photo, yes!! We were just saying that the photo looked like we were wanted suspects 😅
If you love mix of modern and historical architecture, Wroclaw is a great place to visit. It’s an absolute gem filled with history, but also has a lot of contemporary sites to see.
Galeria Mokotów has been operating since the mid-90s. It is almost 30 years old and not new at all. It was sold to the Westfield chain of stores only a few years ago. It is one of the smaller and less crowded shopping malls in Warsaw.
Not the Nazis! They were Germans, and not for the first time. The whole world should remember that the Nazis did not come from the moon. They came from Prussia, Germany and Austria.
Westfield Mokotów shopping center has been in Warsaw for many many years but it was renovated many times. Fun fact, the area around is called by polish people as "Mordor" just like in The Lord of the Rings and it is a very famous polish business district. Great to see you guys in my city!
Actually, the block buildings that you pointed are partially from fifties (build to meet the socrealist style but by before-the-war architects) or sixties/seventies based on all over the world templates and western European licences but also there are many before-the-war blocks of flats, built by Polish architects according to the modernist rules. It is amazing that so often prople born in the former soviet union see all block of flats as soviet inheritance - also in French, Spanish or Scandinavian cities? :) Your film is interesting and positive. Actually, you had some knowledge about the place before going there. Also, you are very nice and pleasant people, I hope you enjoyed staying in other Polish cities as well. You are aleays welcome.
@@greycliffnative Ahhhhh guilty as charged 🫣 I just immediately associated this sort of architecture with Soviet Union (scars from my childhood). I’ve actually never seen these type of building in Spain or Scandinavia. Thank you so much for correcting me though and thank you for taking the time to comment. Ahhh you’re too kind, thank you so much for your nice words! 🥰
But vast majority of nazis (up to 95%) were and it was Germans who were producing bombs, tanks and pushing their drang mach katem agenda, commiting war crimes and genocide. So - stop it!
17:00 yeah, plenty of people come back to our country after brexit. In the last 15 years a lot has changed in Poland, as you have noticed, we have many opportunities. I lived in Northern Ireland for a long time, but two years ago my wife and I also decided to come back and start our own business. Before Brexit it was completely different, also cheaper, life was easier. It is a pity that it turned out this way, but I keep my fingers crossed for the UK. The Irish and the British people are close to my heart ❤
The Old Town of Warsaw was rebuilt based on very rich documentation (photos, architectural plans, drawings and paintings, starting from the 14th century, and films, starting from the end of the 19th century). Belotto Canaletto's paintings were important, but of course they were only one element. These paintings, painted in the 18th century, wonderfully showed the urban perspective of Warsaw. The Old Town is a historical reconstruction, especially since the foundations of the houses survived, and many fragments of the elevation and walls, which were used in the reconstruction. Medieval bricks were also used. That is why the Old City is on the UNESCO list, not because it looks so pretty. Warsaw is called a city-phoenix only because of the destruction caused by the Germans blowing up the entire city, house by house, during World War II. The destruction caused by the Swedes in the 17th century was not as great as that caused by the Germans, for God Sake. The Russians did not destroy Warsaw - do not tell nonsense. Yes, they destroyed large part of it that survived the war (fantastic Art Nouveau tenement houses on the commercial Chmielna Street). They did this on Stalin's orders to build the Palace of Culture and Science. Soviets also bombed Warsaw in 1939, when they attacked Poland, acting together with the Germans. But the destruction was not as great as that in 1944.
@@YadVenturess Cheers- yes, I can wholeheartedly recommend you both come back to explore Gdansk, Wroclaw Krakow and Torun at the very least! Gdansk is my favourite with breathtaking architecture and photo opportunities! Plus you have to try their rose flavoured donuts! They are to die for! Cheers from Australia
The thing about the Belotto paintings is a myth, Belotto painted the landscape of Krakowskie Przedmieście which is close by, but never the actual old town
hi both, thx for this video, i will go to warsaw soon, I can imagine a bit more about everything. I was in Krakow in mai and I joined carefour too, it is very cheap there... thx for this Video... greeting from switzerland to you. Kindly Mike
Hello ;) Im from Warsaw and Emilli Plater, Wilcza and Poznańska streets are very great for coffee, bakeries. "Coffee desk" or "Relax" on Wilcza is the most popular in all Poland! The best coffee quality! About Mokotów - Warsaw people hate this part with Westfield, if you want nacier Mokotów there are streets : Rakowiecka, Narbutta or Puławska(but build tram there now). There people go for food and coffee. You need check MUUS on Narbutta or MOKO on Malczewskiego street. MUUS is located this part why people love Mokotów. Thank you! ❤
I have lived in Warsaw for 25 years and I wouldn't say U Fukiera is the best by a long mile and it is mainly a tourist restaurant which hardly any of the locals use. More popular are the Stary Dom Restaurant and of course Bar Mleczny (Milk Bars) in Warsaw where the later serve authentic Polish food not like the gourmet Polish style of food that you would get in such places as U Fukiera, plus it is a fraction of the price. Try and avoid the ones in the centre because again they are for the tourists and not the best and two of my favourites are Prasowy in Marszałkowska Street, and Rusałka in Floriańska street.
27:00 Westfield Mokotów (former Galeria Mokotów) was opened in 2000, so it's not brand new but was rebuilt several times since then. Not necessarily the best shopping mall in Warsaw...
It depends on what you are looking for. Individual malls differ in what they offer and what products they have available. I think it's worth visiting Arkadia and Złote Tarasy but it's crowded there. I don't like crowds, so I prefer smaller ones like Galeria Północna with a graduation tower on the roof and a nice relaxation area, or the nearby Galeria Młociny. Of course, I recommend using public transport (subway and trams) - it's fast and convenient. I almost forgot - Koneser and Fabryka Norblina. Both of them are not quite malls but worth a visit. From the video it appears that you were in Złote Tarasy and almost in Fabryka Norblina ;)
It's strange that when you were naming who destroyed Warsaw you had no problem naming the Swedes and Russians but when it came to World War II you called the perpetrators Nazis. No, they weren't Nazis, they were GERMANS and they destroyed it the most efficiently of all, they did it better than the Allied air forces with cities in the Third Reich.
From Polish citizen here... Warsaw is great. But I'd like to say............................ Not the greatest. But it's my subjective opinion. Maria Skłodowska Curie- that's how she's called here. With "maiden" name.
@@YadVenturess Do not concentrate on big cities guys. Try some little hidden gems. Only 2 hours couch ride from Warsaw (from city centre), south east direction is little town, hidden in valley next to Vistula River. Called Kazimierz nad Wisłą. Surrounded by hills with beautiful foresty gorges and also fantastic places for foodies. Favourite place of artists like painters and photographers. Overcrowded during summer time, so I always go there in the autumn- in sunny October that place looks a bit like from a tale.
Diversity means preserving each culture. Not destroying it with multiple racial groups. Many of these videos push multiculturalism. Multicultralism BLOWS.

Just to correct some things: there are a lot of churches in Poland and they would probably stay here for centuries (at least those of nice architecture), but that doesn't mean place you can find them is very religious. You can find many beautiful churches in Prague for example, and Czechs in general aren't religious at all. In the 2021 census 71% Poles declared themselves as Catholics (which is of course a lot, but not extremely) and church attendance among them was 28,4%. Varsovians are lot less religious then average, church attendance according to official church surveys was at the level of 19% in 2021. I just really don't like this stereotype of people here being so religiously devoted. Yes, there is a whole group of that kind of people here and they are very 'picturesque' in their mass, but they're not representatives of average. Also, being 25-27 on average when first married in Poland is not correct, in fact it is 29-32 (women/men) in 2020 (list of countries by age at first marriage found on Wiki, according to United Nations Economic Commission for Europe). And although it is in fact one of the youngest in Europe, it is not by a huge margin; and is similar to the US for example.
To jaka musi być procentowa przewaga żeby uznać za przeciętność skoro 70% to mało. Określenie "malowniczy" wskazuje że wiara jest ci obojętna ... i tak to zostaw a nie doktoryzuj się nad danymi.
Besides the "Nazi" thing that the other are mentioning, please look out for the Maria Skłodowska-Curie, because saying only the "Curie" part is French apropriating this extraordinary Polish woman. She married Pierre Curie, but this doesn't make her French, she chose the surname Skłodowska-Curie to accentuate that, she named one of the radioactive isotopes "Polonium" after her home country.

You only need a few days in Warsaw. Beautiful old town! Krakow is much more interesting! If you’re in Warsaw, take the train to Gdańsk for a few days. Gdańsk has an amazing old town! And alot of WW2 history there.
It started well your vlog. Unfortunately you also adopted word Nazi as a substitute for German. Being Polish can't watch it any longer. Sorry Yad. Is your name Jewish or Pakistani? Just curious 🤔
as for marriages, poles are marrying later than what was stated in the video. the average mariage age in poland was 28,4 years for women in 2022 (for men it was 30,7 years) and was not very different from other countries in the region (e.g. hungary 29,8 years, slovakia 29,2 years, croatia 28,9 years, lithuania 28,7 years, bulgaria 28,6 years, romania 28,0 years -> see marriage indicators on eurostat). of course, compared to other EU countries, religion and traditional values might still play a relatively significant role in poland, but the myth of poland as a supercatholic and conservative EU country is pretty outdated.
Maria Skłodowska-Curie. Important to remember order of surname, as she just moved from Poland to France because when Komunizm ruled in Poland was hard to develop your self, so people migrated to other countries.
The hotel NYX next to Warsaw tower have bar on the top of hotel with great view 😊 It is difficult to meet Polish boys they all have weeding ring on finger and if you meet him he definitely take you to his mother for approval 😂😂😂

glad to see you in places i visited 5 years ago . Warsaw was the cleanest city i have ever been to , i only had a glimpse of its river which looked so nice , worth to have been included in the video 😀
We’ll certainly have to check it out next time! It is very green and clean that’s for sure we loved that part of it too.
Something for us to do next time, this was a very quick stop over, but definitely keen to explore further!
I think Helsinki is a much cleaner city but we definitely have nothing to be ashamed off in this regard.
Thanks for your opinion :)

Westfield Mokotów, earlier known as Galeria Mokotów was opened in year 2000. Was modernized 2 times. Shopping Malls in Warsaw are in very good shape, always clean and updated.

Nice video. Just one request coming from a Pole. When referring to who destroyed the city let's avoid this rather general term "the Nazis". Those who did it were very much real and exist(ed) as a nation called the Germans. You mentioned the Swedes and the Russians who also did their part so why being so foggy in case of the Germans. Let's be accurate. Thanks again for the video.
You are right - I stand corrected.
Great video tour of Warsaw. I plan to fly there and travel to Lviv in Ukraine but now I might just stay & tour Warsaw. Looks like a great place to retire. Here in US its getting expensive. Looking forward to seeing more of Poland.

In fact, Poles rebuilt about 20% of pre-war Warsaw, because rebuilding all the historical buildings was beyond the capabilities of the war-ravaged country, especially since the post-war system did not encourage "extravagant" ideas
Thank you for clarifying! 😊
Thanks for sharing 🙏
German forces dedicated an unprecedented effort to razing the city, destroying 80-90% of Warsaw's buildings, including the vast majority of museums, art galleries, theaters, churches, parks, and historical buildings such as castles and palaces. They deliberately demolished, burned, or stole an immense part of Warsaw's cultural heritage. After the war, extensive work was put into rebuilding the city according to pre-war plans and historical documents.GERMANS not NATZI'S!!!!!!!!!

03:00 and 04:25. Warsaw was destroyed by Germans, not some stateless nazis from the moon. Strange you seem to mention Sweden, Russia and then nazis from the moon. This is funny.
Dokładnie, żeby przynajmniej powiedział, że to były nazistowskie Niemcy.
They WERE NAZIS, and among them: Germans, Austrians, Latvians, Ukrainians, Norwegians and even Russians, not those from the Red Army but those who belonged to the Waffen SS. I mean The 29. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS „RONA”. The Warsaw Uprising began on the same day that Heinrich Himmler signed an order for the establishment of the division (1 August 1944). Part of the brigade was sent to Warsaw, where the unit again committed numerous atrocities. It murdered 10,000 Poles on the 19th of August alone. This is the historical truth.
Using the term "Germans" also miraculously removes responsibility for the crimes of World War II from the Austrians, who suffered no consequences after the war. It should be remembered that the personnel managing the extermination camps in Treblinka, Bełżec and Sobibór came mainly from Austria and Ukraine.
no, it was destroyed by national socialist (which btw. were also a left wing socialist variation. 'right wing' does not exist, thats a left wing projection which should be obvious) Germans back then in an older generation while no democratic Germans destroyed Warsaw. And the situation was in general back then a bit different, because you had nationalist/ethnic Slavic views as well (already before), because many parts of Europe became back then nationalist and got a focus on ethnicity back then. That wasnt just a mystical German thing (Germany was just among the most powerful nations). You also dont fight anti patriotism by trying to make Germany responsible, because its a socialist/left wing thing to blame others as Nazis while they - part of the entire problem as socialists (all socialists were more or less Nazis and are till this day antisemitic/antizionist - together with Islam the ones who spread it most over the world). Most Nazi and fascist movements (which btw. were also left wing - learn fucking history) were Marxist, many supported also the left wing/socialist/communist movements in Russia (and many old school left wings are doing that till this day). And history is also more complicated: most of the time a huge part of Poland was a mixed culture of Germans/Poles (or before Celtic, Germanic and Slavic tribes, sometimes working together, sometimes fighting like each others), later there were connections and cooperations with the Germnaic Frankish Empire, later the Holy Roman Empire. Many Polish cities were with a German majority and became also wealthy due to the Hanseatic League (which is why those cities were often in focus, also later by the Swedes etc.) and Prussia/Austria - which modernized a huge part of Poland basically all the time (in difference to Russia which itself got mostly the modern influences from the West)... in general the history of Central Europe is a quite mixed one (which is also why the architecture, city structures and mentality is quite similar) and most of the time rather dynastic ... and btw. you had also Polish German Nazis just like you had Polish people treading Jews bad and already before that attacking German communities which also caused rage against Polish ppl. The entire situation back than especially in those parts of Europe was very much a re-sorting also after a too ethnic focus -ä and Polish ppl did pretty much the same. Most decisions were also rather made along some ideological lines between the different socialist idiologies and none of those were any better ...
@@publicminx What a BS 🤣 So much words for whitening and denying the obvious fact that Germany attacked, destroyed Poland and murdered 6mln of its citizens.
Then Poland wasnt destroyed by Russian but stateless communists. And no Swedes but crazy imerialistic royalists from arctic region. Get lost clown. :)
@@publicminx You could say democratic Germans destroyed Warsaw and demolished Europe. Do you have to remind that Hitler was actually elected to power? Yes, German people did want that madness and happily participated and loved their leader (Fuhrer) at least as long as they were winning.

This is actually wild that Poland rebuild Warsaw from paintings. As a Pole I found out about it not long ago and it really amazed me. We as a nation are really demanding and always complain about everything but I guess thats what make us improve and build so quickly.
To nie do końca prawda. Tak się powszechnie mówi, że odbudowano na podstawie obrazów Canaletto ale na tych obrazach były widoki ogólne , panoramy miasta a nie szczegółowe ujęcia budynków z bliska ze szczegółami.

Please say Germans, not Nazis.
Implementing such vocabulary was a strategy intended to shift away the blame for the atrocities they committed in Poland and Europe.
They claim most Germans didn't agree with Nazi policies but it was in fact the majority of Germans who enabled Nazis (who were also Germans) to do anything at all by voting them into power.
It's disrespectful for the victims and their families to try to absolve their oppressors of even the smallest bit of blame. Please. It may seem like nothing but it means everything, especially in our eyes here in Poland.

27:00 Galeria Mokotów was constructed during 1998-2000, grand opening september 2000. I believe it was one of the very first shopping malls in Warsaw. Think it was Panorama('93), Promenada ('96), Klif ('99), Reduta ('99) and then Galeria Mokotów in 2000. But shopping centres in here are renovated regularly to look fresh. Westfield Group bought few major shopping malls in Warsaw a couple years ago.

The Old Town of Warsaw was rebuilt based on very rich documentation (photos, architectural plans, drawings and paintings, starting from the 14th century, and films, starting from the end of the 19th century). Belotto Canaletto's paintings were important, but of course they were only one element. These paintings, painted in the 18th century, wonderfully showed the urban perspective of Warsaw. The Old Town is a historical reconstruction, especially since the foundations of the houses survived, and many fragments of the elevation and walls, which were used in the reconstruction. Medieval bricks were also used. That is why the Old City is on the UNESCO list, not because it looks so pretty. Warsaw is called a city-phoenix only because of the destruction caused by the Germans blowing up the entire city, house by house, during World War II. The destruction caused by the Swedes in the 17th century was not as great as that caused by the Germans, for God Sake. The Russians did not destroy Warsaw - do not tell nonsense. Yes, they destroyed large part of it that survived the war (fantastic Art Nouveau tenement houses on the commercial Chmielna Street). They did this on Stalin's orders to build the Palace of Culture and Science. Soviets also bombed Warsaw in 1939, when they attacked Poland, acting together with the Germans. But the destruction was not as great as that in 1944.

Hello ;) Im from Warsaw and Emilli Plater, Wilcza and Poznańska streets are very great for coffee, bakeries. "Coffee desk" or "Relax" on Wilcza is the most popular in all Poland! The best coffee quality! About Mokotów - Warsaw people hate this part with Westfield, if you want nacier Mokotów there are streets : Rakowiecka, Narbutta or Puławska(but build tram there now). There people go for food and coffee. You need check MUUS on Narbutta or MOKO on Malczewskiego street. MUUS is located this part why people love Mokotów. Thank you! ❤
Thank you so much for your recommendations, we can’t wait to explore these places next time we’re in town ❤️
Wow, thank you so much for all recommendations! Wish we had this input prior to our trip - will have to check it out next time 😊
I have lived in Warsaw for 25 years and I wouldn't say U Fukiera is the best by a long mile and it is mainly a tourist restaurant which hardly any of the locals use.
More popular are the Stary Dom Restaurant and of course Bar Mleczny (Milk Bars) in Warsaw where the later serve authentic Polish food not like the gourmet Polish style of food that you would get in such places as U Fukiera, plus it is a fraction of the price.
Try and avoid the ones in the centre because again they are for the tourists and not the best and two of my favourites are Prasowy in Marszałkowska Street, and Rusałka in Floriańska street.
Thanks for your awesome tips! We'll be trying those next time in town for sure :)
27:00 Westfield Mokotów (former Galeria Mokotów) was opened in 2000, so it's not brand new but was rebuilt several times since then. Not necessarily the best shopping mall in Warsaw...
Thanks for sharing, which shopping mall would you recommend?
It depends on what you are looking for. Individual malls differ in what they offer and what products they have available. I think it's worth visiting Arkadia and Złote Tarasy but it's crowded there. I don't like crowds, so I prefer smaller ones like Galeria Północna with a graduation tower on the roof and a nice relaxation area, or the nearby Galeria Młociny. Of course, I recommend using public transport (subway and trams) - it's fast and convenient.
I almost forgot - Koneser and Fabryka Norblina. Both of them are not quite malls but worth a visit.
From the video it appears that you were in Złote Tarasy and almost in Fabryka Norblina ;)
It's strange that when you were naming who destroyed Warsaw you had no problem naming the Swedes and Russians but when it came to World War II you called the perpetrators Nazis. No, they weren't Nazis, they were GERMANS and they destroyed it the most efficiently of all, they did it better than the Allied air forces with cities in the Third Reich.

Do not concentrate on big cities guys. Try some little hidden gems. Only 2 hours couch ride from Warsaw (from city centre), south east direction is little town, hidden in valley next to Vistula River. Called Kazimierz nad Wisłą. Surrounded by hills with beautiful foresty gorges and also fantastic places for foodies. Favourite place of artists like painters and photographers. Overcrowded during summer time, so I always go there in the autumn- in sunny October that place looks a bit like from a tale.

You can find many beautiful churches in Prague for example, and Czechs in general aren't religious at all. In the 2021 census 71% Poles declared themselves as Catholics (which is of course a lot, but not extremely) and church attendance among them was 28,4%. Varsovians are lot less religious then average, church attendance according to official church surveys was at the level of 19% in 2021. I just really don't like this stereotype of people here being so religiously devoted. Yes, there is a whole group of that kind of people here and they are very 'picturesque' in their mass, but they're not representatives of average.
Also, being 25-27 on average when first married in Poland is not correct, in fact it is 29-32 (women/men) in 2020 (list of countries by age at first marriage found on Wiki, according to United Nations Economic Commission for Europe). And although it is in fact one of the youngest in Europe, it is not by a huge margin; and is similar to the US for example.
Thank you for interrsting information!
Interesting thanks for sharing!
To jaka musi być procentowa przewaga żeby uznać za przeciętność skoro 70% to mało. Określenie "malowniczy" wskazuje że wiara jest ci obojętna ... i tak to zostaw a nie doktoryzuj się nad danymi.
Besides the "Nazi" thing that the other are mentioning, please look out for the Maria Skłodowska-Curie, because saying only the "Curie" part is French apropriating this extraordinary Polish woman. She married Pierre Curie, but this doesn't make her French, she chose the surname Skłodowska-Curie to accentuate that, she named one of the radioactive isotopes "Polonium" after her home country.
Maybe one day tourists will become more familiar with the Polish language and be able to speak with café staff, for example.
u guys are so cute :) best british tourists haha
latvia is a beautiful country as well!
omg ur baby is so adorable
haha idk why pelmeni would be controversial😆 jedzenie to jedzenie, no i chyba rosjanie tez musza cos jesc. tho ukrainians can be more sensitive to this kinda stuff in my experience
Hehe thank you so much ❤️🙏
@@sSomeawesomeneSs Ahhh thank you so much, she’s a sweety. Regarding pelmeni, I just thought people don’t like to be compared to others, especially when it comes to their traditional food 🫣 I usually get ripped apart for making such comparisons haha, but happy to see that’s not the case here. Thank you for watching ❤️
David was raving 😂
He was a little shy i think! But he did his best....
You only need a few days in Warsaw. Beautiful old town! Krakow is much more interesting!
If you’re in Warsaw, take the train to Gdańsk for a few days. Gdańsk has an amazing old town! And alot of WW2 history there.
Thanks for the tips! I’ll add those to my list!
Warsaw has much more valuable things that you should’ve had visit. Especially those historical like Pałac Kultury or Łazienki Królewskie etc.
It started well your vlog. Unfortunately you also adopted word Nazi as a substitute for German. Being Polish can't watch it any longer. Sorry Yad. Is your name Jewish or Pakistani? Just curious 🤔
My name is Kurdish, fair enough and all the best :)
anything on Krakow?
We haven’t made it there yet, but hopefully 🔜
Kocham Warszawe
❤️
as for marriages, poles are marrying later than what was stated in the video. the average mariage age in poland was 28,4 years for women in 2022 (for men it was 30,7 years) and was not very different from other countries in the region (e.g. hungary 29,8 years, slovakia 29,2 years, croatia 28,9 years, lithuania 28,7 years, bulgaria 28,6 years, romania 28,0 years -> see marriage indicators on eurostat). of course, compared to other EU countries, religion and traditional values might still play a relatively significant role in poland, but the myth of poland as a supercatholic and conservative EU country is pretty outdated.
Very interesting facts! I appreciate you sharing it
Ukrainiec niech wraca do siebie na front to moze zauwazy cos fajnego w Warszawie . W życiu nie widzialam tak niewdziecznej osoby!
Maria Skłodowska-Curie. Important to remember order of surname, as she just moved from Poland to France because when Komunizm ruled in Poland was hard to develop your self, so people migrated to other countries.
The hotel NYX next to Warsaw tower have bar on the top of hotel with great view 😊 It is difficult to meet Polish boys they all have weeding ring on finger and if you meet him he definitely take you to his mother for approval 😂😂😂
Thanks for the recommendation!! Haha that's funny but it shows that Polish people like to settle down then :)
Ahhhh back in the day me and Yad would be on that rooftop, but with a baby bars are a bit tough 😂
