Patrick, I enjoyed this immensely, after thoroughly enjoying your marathon coverage last year as well. I wonder if I will see Warsaw again. The first time I went to Warsaw was in the middle of 1982 which was the midpoint of the year of martial law. I think things had eased a little by then but there were bands of ZOMO patrolling the streets. There was nothing in stores and lines for anything that was available. For me as an American it was absurdly cheap, even if dollars were exchanged at the official rate, and when exchanged on the black market it was like living in a world where money didn't exist. I figured out that a ticket for 10 visits to a museum were equivalent to one cent, each visit a tenth of a cent. Of course for Polish people it was nothing at all like that. To see Poland today, free and thriving as you show it to be makes me feel very hopeful about good changes that can happen all over the world.
My Polish connection comes through my Uncle Antoni Sitne who fled Poland after the Germans invaded and made his way to Scotland where he joined the Polish Free forces and returned to Europe to help free his homeland. Of course, after the war, the Soviets took over so he was never able to return home for many years. He settled here, married my aunt, had a family. It made me interested in Polish history.
My brother-in-law`s brother-in law , Jan Markowski, fought in the uprising and was the composer of the" Mokotowski"march and other songs that kept their spirits up.. His tunes best commemorate that time.
Dzięki za materiał! Dobrze, że zrobiłeś to po angielsku. Bo my polacy (ci co są zainteresowani i wyedukowani) znamy naszą historię, a za granicą nikogo nie zainteresuje kolejny film/materiał po polsku, bo myślę, że ludziom nie chce się czytać napisów.
I am a child of the WWII Polish diaspora. Both of my parents were veterans, members of the RAF. My parents found it too difficult to tell me the full story of their experiences while I was growing up. But I saw the emotion, the tears, the psychological effects upon them and therefore me. I became increasingly interested in history as I matured. I went to university in Canada during the Soviet years, it was difficult to find valid historical data regarding Poland. The first book that “rang true” to me, that was consistent with my parents’ experiences and my surviving family in Poland, was a novel by James Michener in 1983. I’m glad that Poles are finally able to tell their story. My husband of over 25 years is the son of a Nazi. We adopted our first child from a Polish orphanage. The horror of the past truly belongs to the past. It’s time for all people to view others through the lens of human rights and to recognize what tribal brainwashing can lead humans to. Whether the brainwashing is cultural, ideological, religious or otherwise. There are psychopaths in every culture, there are also compassionate human beings. We need to control the former and nurture, empower the latter, the majority. The Doomsday Clock is currently at 100 seconds to midnight.
@@nogoodname72 No, the son of a literal Nazi. He had no choice but be drafted into an ideology he had little comprehension of. He was an illegitimate son born to an Austrian orphan. He was raised in poverty. He was just a ping-pong ball that had to survive his circumstances. He claimed that the best thing to have happened to him was to become an American POW in the closing years of WWII. The food and clothes were superior, he learned English which helped him immigrate to Canada. But I agree, we are watching the effects of brainwashing these days, the purposeful twisting of ideologies that start out with good intentions.
@@nogoodname72 These were wretched years for my family, to a lesser extent for my husband's. Bloodlands is a good name. The tragedy is that in this 21st century the identical story is being played out in other terrains.
Hi Patrick! Another job well done broadcasting the PW commemorations. Will you be covering the centenary of the Miracle on the Vistula August 15? I am sure there are others like me who had planned to be in Warsaw but now will not, due to Covid. Kind regards
The Royal Castle was rebuild in 70's. All Poles - working or studying and even pupils - had to pay 10 zlotys each. But we did not mind. The cause was great, the fee was symbolic. It was officially said that we buy "bricks". Each brick was 10 zł:) Every mandatory contributor was getting small metal emblem with easthetic Castle image on it. People were wearing these comemorative souvenirs for a day or two. Later they ended in their drawers. Several years later the real Castle looked exactly the same as this one from a sign. When I was the boy in the 60's I used to look at ruins of the Roal Castle every time I was walking with my parents to the Old Town. Actually ruins it was only few meters high broken wall. I did not feel sad. It looked to me just "normal". I knew it was result of war, but the word war also sound normal to me. On that time I did not know that destroyed Castle was only a tiny effect of the horrible and bloody war.
Vernichtet den Hass Hasst das Böse Jagd dem Frieden nach. Liebe deinen Nächsten wie dich selbst. Denn die Liebe versagt nie. Denn der Mensch hat zum Schaden über den Menschen geherrscht.
Pay reparation for the country you robbed and destroyed. Germans killed 6000000 Polish citizens. Half was jewish half catholic. You love jews and pay them. You hate catholic Polish people even today.
If I wanna take a photo of Auschwitz it doesn't make me wrong LOL The purpose of a photo is the same as the purpose of going there: to have a memory of Auschwitz.
My Grandmother was Polish and I am proud to say I have Polish blood in me! God Bless Poland! NEVER FORGET!
Same

I have great respect for the people involved in the Warsaw Uprising. You have a great channel that highlights the stories of the Holocaust.
