Japan rescued 765 Polish orphans in Siberia in 1920, 1921 and 1922.Polish orphans lost their family in Siberia and were hungry without food. Poland asked different countries to save Polish orphans. But every country refused to save the orphans.Finally, Poland asked Japan to rescue the orphans.Japan soon decided to save the Polish orphans. Japan found and rescued the orphans who were crawling in Siberia.We Japanese did our best to rescue Polish orphans. Japan sent a total of 765 Polish orphans to Japan.The orphans were weak. And the orphans were ill.Japan gave orphans a warm meal. And Japan treated the disease of orphans. The disease of all orphans has been cured. The orphans have recovered.Many donations were collected for orphans from all over Japan. Toys were also donated.The orphans treat Japanese who take care of them like a mother.Japanese also loved the orphans as their own children. The Empress of that time also loved the orphans as their own children. Polish orphans had a good time every day.The diet of the orphans was nutritious and gave a delicious meal.On the day of parting, the orphans cried crying that they did not want to leave Japan.The Japanese also shed tears at the farewell with the orphans. Polish orphans sang the Japanese national anthem "kimigayo" and the Polish national anthem on the ship. All 765 Polish orphans returned safely to Poland. Japan loves Poland.If something happens to Polish children, Japan will help again.Japan handed out the Virgin Mary prayer card to all orphans. Polish orphans who always had it survived the war and lived until they were over 80 years old.And during the Second World War, the Japanese “chiune sugihara” saved more than 6,000 Jews.
I know about it, just like the fact that our services have always cooperated with each other, even during the Second World War your services informed us through the Japanese embassy in Sweden about the actions of the German army, apart from Japan, Iran, Syria and India also took care of Polish orphans from the 2nd war, in 1950 we took care of Korean orphans, later the Korean leader ordered them to come back after 9 years, and the government did everything not to let them go, but it failed, the word "thank you" is not enough, but so far we have to thank you for this, and in the future we may repay this debt as gratitude
Brother I hope you dont forget the other part Japan did in WW2 throughout Asia like they did in the Philippine making a lot of children became orphans and the inhumane things they do to women. Lets not forget and pray it will never be repeated again.⛪✞🇵🇭❤🇯🇵
I'm Polish and I am grateful that Japan saved those Polish children but let's not forget all the bad and inhuman crimes that Japan did in ww2, which Japan needs to acknowledge. Japan is now an amazing first world country and I hope to visit one day.
We remember. We also remember what Japan said about Polish struggle during II World War.
Thank you for comment. Also Polish people very like Japan and his history.
I love Poland and the Polish people! Kind regards from Norway.
I've always been fascinated with Poland. They have a strong presence here in Texas. Życzę im zdrowia.
Thank you
Cheers from Poland!
Well we Polish are open minded
THANK YOU, there are quite a few Americans of Polish ancestry, here in California, however, I love Texas and her inhabitants, self reliant and sturdy, all the best.
Is Texas a part of Mexico?
I'll never forget my polish grandfather he was my hero. He left Poland and came to America to work the coal mines in Pennsylvania to send money back home to his family. When Germany invaded September 1st 1939 then Russia September 17th. He tried to leave America to go back to Poland to fight with his brothers against Russia. He could not make it back to Poland so he joined the American Military.
When he was on his deathbed saying his prayers in Polish he made all of us grandsons promised him if any country will ever invade Poland again we will fight and protect Poland and the Polish way of life. I will never bring shame to my grandfather's name Paul Peter zalewski. The Polish people only kneel to God
Then go and kick European union's ass!!
Got goosebumps while reading your comment. Im really impressed by your attitude and i would fight for people like you as well!! Greetings from PL
Better visit some day and see what's where or I'll get lost in a forest somewhere in the time of war.

Poland from Romania great respect to you ! You have proven that you value ur culture and the people of europe ! Long live Poland
long live Romania too - you and us follow the same path. it is great to see all the recent Romanian development.
I like Romania, great country, lovely people and very rich culture.
Japan loves Poland. Poland is a beautiful country. Japan has played Chopin songs for over 100 years. Poland is great. In 1920 and 1922, Japan rescued 765 Polish orphans in Siberia. Poland asked Japan to rescue a Polish orphan in Siberia. Japan promised to rescue immediately.
The smallest orphaned child was 2 years old. The child was crying near the dead mother. The Japanese rescued the orphan immediately. The child told the dead mother "Goodbye Mom". Japan rescued a total of 765 Polish orphans.Japan sent orphans to Japan for treatment.Orphans ate delicious and warm meals every day. All Polish orphans have recovered. Almost all Japanese donated money to save orphans. On the day of return, all 765 Polish orphans returned to Poland safely.
In 2018, an elementary school commemorating this was completed in Warsaw. Japan loves Poland. God bless Poland.
Thanks FlankyMerc.We respect Romania as wel, cause U was always lovlely to us.I was in Romania years ago. I have seen Bukuresti, Timisoara etc.I'll get there soon.

I am a Hungarian i have a Romanian beautiful partner and i love Poland as my motherland ... let’s stick together my family... our numbers are falling...we need all of us
God bless you
Together as family!
Marry Christmas what? You will not succeed breaking up Polish Hungarian friendship. Many have tried before.
You must be russian.
Brother! There's a saying:
Polak, Węgier - dwa bratanki,
i do szabli, i do szklanki,
oba zuchy, oba żwawi,
niech im Pan Bóg błogosławi.
In Hungarian:
Lengyel, magyar - két jó barát,
Együtt harcol s issza borát,
Vitéz s bátor mindkettője,
Áldás szálljon mindkettőre.
It is and will be forever true!!
lukasgaming82 brother, our great grandchildren will be quoting that a thousand year later too :)
Pologne is so sophisticated, charming, noble ang beautiful.
Mariush Arian Poland* :)
Im of polish origin on my fathers side. Yes, the people are polite and friendly, the country is charming.
But there is also a dark side.
There is a tendency to catholic and national fanatic attitudes, to overestimate the own strengh.
Between the World Wars Poland was hell for national minorities, one third of the population. And antisemites helped the German occupants to kill jews or did it themselves even after the war (Kielce 1956). And there was the Action Wisla.
But today, minority rights are respected and the situation is relaxed.
I'm a critical lover of Polska.

You are doing well in polish ! Greetings from Poland
Welcome!
It should be..great
Just learn about a thousand words. Don't worry about the grammar. They'll understand your pigeon-Polish.
e sto imparando l'italiano ;-)
There are many Poles living in my town in England, I'm glad to say. I love the food, the friendliness and the chance to try a few words of a new language.
Polish are like a snowflakes. They settle down in millions at night and prevent English to go to work in the morning.
English don't work they're lazy
@@maciejszymanski2386 Super :) Dawno się tak nie uśmiałem!!

For foreigners, the Poles speak in "WIFI passwords"
In my life i have traveled a lot, many countries in Europe and outside. Still Poland is my favorite place to be. Such home - like, such welcoming people. I love You, Polska !
Ah, my motherland and my resilient hardworking brothers and sisters. Greetings from Canada. I left when I was a child but a part of my heart will always belong to you :)
Semiramis why would you want to live with other people. Living with your own kind is the best, especially when 95% of the population is Polish. That is a blessing for your country and people.
Даниел Прентов His family obviously had their reasons for leaving Poland. Since he said he left as a child it might’ve been that his parents left in order to find a better life for their children.
Me too, also in Canada. left as a child. Any chance of you ever going back to live?
@@raczyk this is old...but in 2022 I have three separate friends from Poland that have moved permanently back (from USA)
One bought a condo with glass balconies, super modern. And is now working for a British cigarette company based in his city. The other one had kids and they were the reason they moved (that kid was born here in NY, but still left). Polish schools are excellent, and the culture places high value on education which can sometimes lead to elitism, but now with more money no one has to feel excluded too much.
What a beautiful and innocent nation. Poland is a paradise! 🇵🇱
Greetings from a fellow Catholic in Indonesia! 🇮🇩

God bless! You have a great looking flag 😂
This flag...
I love the Polish people. Sadly they are seldom given enough credit for saving Europe on multiple occasions.
Yes. Particularly when King Jan Sobieski rallied to the aid of Europe, when most did not, and lead the Polish forces at the battle against the Turkish invasion and siege of Vienna in the 17th century. They literally saved Western Christiandom. The Poles have been treated badly through the ages, not given the due to the development of Europe, but they are a people with a resolute endurance. Bless them.
Beautiful country! Can not wait to see Poland in October. Greetings from California, USA 🇺🇸 👋
Have you visited PL? ;)

I visited Poland this past summer (2019) and loved it! Honestly had no idea what to expect: the people were kind, the food was excellent, the history profound. Amazing museums. Some of the most beautiful churches I’ve ever seen. Visited Warsaw, Krakow, and Wroclaw. Thank you Poland, don’t change too much!

Proud of Poland standing up to foreign Invaders!!!! Much love from Amercia!!! Keep fighting the good fight my brothers and sisters!
Me too
And American you should stop invading other nations lands .... you advising others to fight invaders while your country invading others.... you have no logic .. such hypocrisy! You don't care about Poland !
Idiotic right-winger comments like this always crack me up. "Brothers and sisters", and yet the Polish (along with Russians, Greeks, and others) were considered undesirable and murdered in cold blood by the Nazis. Many Poles were refugees in Iran, where many people generously opened their doors to them. Given the chance, people (including Poles) move to Western nations for better opportunities; if you don't like it, take it up with your government.
@IV APoLLo 13 That is true.
What invaders? Lol
Poland is not only Warsaw, Krakow and Gdansk... there are many others beautiful places like Silesia with Wroclaw, Greater Poland with Poznan, and many others

Hello Vlad 😅
I will defend poland with all my heart, it's one of the most cultural countries in the world, it is developping enormously and is the 5th biggest economy in europe. Great to see that we europeans have such an high human development. greetings from Austria.
You need to defend it with your blood, not your heart. Good wishes wont save us
Do you think Austria will survive from the radical left invasion? Because I don't think that German will, a friend of mine which is not white nor German, but a Christian in good standing, told me that German is already unrecognizable, compare that to Japan where foreigners-are not allowed to change local custom & tradition.
Poland is a beautiful country and full with lovely and friendly peoples, i visited twice , what a guest friendly nation, love you Poland and Polish peoples :)
you're always welcome here :-)

Thank you for making this documentary, so proud to be from here 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
This video shows so many stereotyphes about Poland, it shows us as a mostly country side place with horse coaches on the roads and most of people wearing traditional clothes... Come on, Poland is a modern european country. Yes, we got strong tratidions which alowed us to survive through wars and occupations, but we live just like other people in the western world. Maybe we are not so rich as western Europe or USA, but Poland is one of the safest places on the earth, and trust me, you will be very suprised in positive way, if you visit our beautyfull country. Cheers from Poland.
Filip Majcherek I wanna move to a eastern European country to begin a farm I'm from the Netherlands. Is it good to farm? Also in the winters?
W samo sedno! :-)
Jamie van Vliet yes, it is very good to farm. We have the good soil. Winter farming? We have four seasons. You can grow stuff under foil, I guess. I live in a big city, so I'm not an expert:) Best of luck !
chłopaku, to jest film promujący turystykę. kogo na zachodzie zainteresuje polski mc'donalds czy inny starbucks? mają to u siebie na każdym rogu. komentując ten film zachowałeś się jak typowy użytkownik onetu czyli po łebkach :/ a co do koników na drogach. gdybyś oglądał uważniej to oczęta, które posiadasz zarejestrowałyby fakt że były to migawki z regionów górskich. no niestety mamy 21w ale do pracy w górach jak na razie najlepszą maszyną jest koń :)
Filip of course Poland is also modern and up to date. This video is aimed at tourists who wish to relish themselves in the ancient and historic. Please don't be offended. Guests stay a short time, spend money then go home with a smile on their faces. That's always a good thing.
Many greetings to Poland from the Oginski Dynasty we are still walking this Earth, maybe we should come back and return Poland to the Great power it once was. 👑
I also love the Hungarian people who also fight against this invasion of Islam.
Islam is not an issue in Poland. There are Muslim people living there for 500 years. They were allowed to settle there by Polish kings and since than they were always very patriotic Polish citizens. The problem now is that Germans and Globalist rulers try to force some Muslim settlers on Poland without asking for permission.
🤣🤣🤣
Lipka Tatars in Poland are Islamic
Protect/guard your race, your culture. Maintain your borders. Revive your culture. The Poles are inherently great.
I love Poland and I hope to visit one day. With love from Lancaster NY Untied States of America

Looks like an amazing mix of traditions and modernity, I hope this developement continues in the future. Poland looks to me like there is lots of potential.
Hopefully our two countries and peoples can be closer together than they are today.

The Carpathian region is absolutely stunning!
Chwała wielkiej Polsce i pięknym kobietom!
Beautiful presentation with history
You can't call that an accurate history.
Yes, I also was shocked hearing that Poland was partioned many times by its enemies. In its 1000 years history It was partioned only one time in the end of 18th century for 118 years (it was kind of our 100 years war), and that is all. Or, may be there was another partition for 2 years in the September 1939 between Germany and Soviets who attacked Poland together...
You do not have complete data on that, check more sources Poland did disappear from map twice between 19th and 20th century, and few other minor partition before that.
PLRAHAPL. What partitions before that? Be specific.
I just love this documentary
Poland is so beautiful, I didn't even know how rural we are, although I am from poland.
Great video :D Very beautyfull pictures and good described :)
