210☘👍🏻BIG THANKS FOR INFORMATION, GREETINGS FROM KRAKÓW🇵🇱✋
Cześć i chwała bohaterom!
My parents came out WWll in their pre-teens. They always readily answered/answers their children's questions about the war. They have a lot of books on just about anything related to the war and especially the hardships of Jews (we are plain Christian Scandinavians). I have seen many an unpleasant but interesting documentary about exterminations camps, nazi hunters, the Nurnberg Trials, etc. all through my life, in fact
I exposed my children to all of it, too. I think we need to.
The movie "Uprising" made a deep and lasting impression on me. I cannot recommend enough.
Congratulations on this great interview! It is one of the best English language Poland history Internet talks I have ever seen.
The sad thing is only 3000 viewers so far. It shows how little English speakers are interested in the subject.
This interview will be here year after year, gaining views.
@@thefirstnews9019hope so
Well done, informative session.
As the child of the post WWII Polish diaspora I’m glad these stories are finally being told. Even in the 70s and 80s in Canada, at university, it was difficult to access such information. And I tried. Tragically this kind of story is repeated constantly, throughout the world. When different societal groups, such are cultures, are involved sometimes the stories reach the media and we are horrified by the display of racism. But the lack of human rights or vilification of “the other” are constantly applied to different social classes, religions, genders, sexual preference, even football teams, etc. One of the underlying reasons is understood as the biological urge towards tribalism. A characteristic of every human brain. We evolved to be part of a tribe, to support fellow members but unfortunately to also vilify “the other.” If humanity has a chance, we must first recognize this human characteristic then implement systems to guard against it. To treat the vulnerable as fellow human beings. The Doomsday Clock is just 100 seconds away from midnight, we don’t have much time. ua-cam.com/video/lrzXE5XttOE/v-deo.html
What a wonderful woman. In all senses. She is so beautiful and smart.
She is extremely impressive. Paddy
@@thefirstnews9019 absolutely. Is she single?
we come back and become the great empire again as we were centuries ago! ✌️
🇵🇱 = 😎
The book is fantastic. Sadly humanity seems to be itching for another civilization threatening bloodbath. Perhaps because modern life is so unsatisfying in many ways and they think a bloodletting will change this!!
Very interesting video. Dr. Alexandra Richie has huge knowledge about Polish Warsaw Uprising'44, as a Pole (Polish?) I'm especially grateful for that English-language book on this topic, cause Poles write books and not scientific papers mostly in Polish, so many aspects of Poland, politics, history, contribuition to science & technology etc. are either completely not known for to the wider audience (readers) in western Europe (basically in the USA), or misunderstood or rather mostly not known generally. Thank you for uploading this video, ofc Like&Sub :)
BTW here is proof, the 1st good movie on the Uprising'44 topic is here (but only in Polish), may be it's also available on other platforms with Eng subtitles vod.tvp.pl/video/miasto-44,miasto-44,24654080 .
The movie is available with English subtitles on Amazon Prime here in Australia.
Nie znam dobrze angielskiego. Byłbym wdzięczny za podpowiedź .Czy ta Pani mówi podobne rzeczy na temat powstania jak żona niejakiego Radka Sikorskiego ?,Wiem że za tą książkę dostała nagrodę Newsweeka .Trochę mi to podejrzanie wygląda.
@Jurek Przychodzen Ok.dzięki
Ona mowi bardzo konkretnie, rzeczowo i zupelnie nieideologicznie. Jednym slowem, ona mowi bardzo dobrze.
@@kolezka161 Dzięki. Ulżyło mi . Pozdrawiam ! ))
Niewiedza i podejrzliwość jak zwykle w parze.
Mówi bardzo dobrze nie zabiera stron.
Not nazis, Germans:(!!!
Ah well yes Nazis not Germans, very difficult for Slavs to stand up for Jews. The Jews were first on the list, perhaps the Slavs might have had an inkling of what Nazis had in store for them after the Nazis had finished with Polish Israel
frankly you make no sense. what the hell are you trying to say?
