Regard whole Eastern/Central European debate. Important thing to note is the time period. In historical context Poland was East Europe, because Russia was not considered as Europe at all. During Cold War, there was a Eastern Block what enforced confusion. But from point of recognition of Soviet Union as Europe, basing on Ural Mountains argument. Poland should not be refereed as East of Europe, especially considering not just location in the center, but also massive cultural differences between West and East Slavs, dating even before 10'th century. Poland, Czechia and Slovakia, are and almost sways was part of Western cultural influence zone. It was not a region related to the Rus people.

You Czechs are amazing - didn't they teach you in school that Poland wouldn't exist without the Czechs? Your modesty is touching. If it wasn't for Dobrawa, the Czech princess, Poland wouldn't have been baptized and exist it was in 966 year. We have many stories including wars but I love you. Yes, we Poles have always been between Russia and Germany and it was Dobrawa's help and the adoption of christianity that allowed us to save ourselves from the German invasion - it was 1058 years ago. I will only add that no one had heard of Russia at that time. It didn't exist. Slavs are quite a distinctive group.

Oh, girl... the name Konrad has been popular in Poland since the early Middle Ages. And the most famous Polish Konrad is Prince Konrad of Masovia, who invited the Teutonic Order to Poland to help him fight the pagans in the North (Balto-Slavic tribe of Prussians). As we all (Poles) know, the Teutonic Knights betrayed the prince, and in the end the Poles fought many wars with them, before they were finally defeated and liquidated in the 15th century (with the cooperation of Poles and Lithuanians).

The bear took part in the Battle of Monte Cassino. Its task was to provide ammunition for artillery units. Initially, Wojtek could not tolerate the noise caused by artillery fire and bombing. For this reason, he did not leave the room. After getting used to the noise, he watched the battle from the nearby trees. According to soldiers, the bear was supposed to help carry ammunition boxes or bullets. The emblem of the 22nd Company, depicting a bear carrying a missile in its paws, became a commemoration of Wojtek's participation in the Battle of Monte Cassino[4]. Wojtek was not trained to work carrying forty-five-kilogram crates of missiles. He learned how to handle cargo by observing soldiers. Without encouragement, Wojtek grabbed the crates and carried them in his characteristic way: standing on his hind legs, he spread his arms into which the soldiers placed the ammunition crates. The bear carried them near the firing positions and then returned to the truck for another portion of the load. The soldiers sometimes encouraged Wojtek to help by giving treats in return, because the bear himself decided when and how long he would work. During the Battle of Monte Cassino, Wojtek's company delivered the following cargo to Polish and British troops: 17,300 tons of ammunition, 1,200 tons of fuel and 1,100 tons of food[6]. Since then, the symbol of the 22nd Company has become a bear with a bullet in its paws. This badge appeared on military cars,

I would recommend the author of this video to read a little about Polish and German history before he goes to commenting. For example such fundamental facts that Silesia was a core part of the Polish state from the year 1000 to 1260, then it was colonized by German settlers, then annexed by the Bohemian crown, then grabbed by the Habsburgs, then in 1738 conquered by war by Prussians, and in 1945 given by the Soviets to their vassal Poland. Parts of Silesia have been continously inhabited by Slavic (Polish dialects) speaking people until 1940. The easternmost part of Silesia, inhabited by majority of Polish speakers was ceded from Germany to Poland in 1922.

Hi Chris! Let's answer all the questions you raised: 1. No, giving names after names of the week is not common. The origin of Polish last names is extremely diverse, so there's no much patterns there. Though typically many Polish last names end on "ski". 2. Conrad ("Konrad" in Polish) is a very common name. You'd be surprised how much Germans and Polish names have in common. 3. Poland it's in fact in Central Europe, but most people split Europe on two halves, which gets Poland on the East side. 4. Yes, Gdansk is "Danzig" in German. Many Germans go there for summer vacations. It's one of my favorite cities in Poland. 5. The highways in Poland have improved tremendously. They can get you to all major cities fairly quickly. Unfortunately they're not cheap. 6. Yes, Silesia used to be populated by many Germans, so there's a chance your grandfather could have been from there. 7. Honestly, I haven't heard much about Bledne Skaly, but I'm sure it can be researched. 8. Yes, Wawel Castel on Wawel Hill in Cracow is amazing. Worth checking out. 9. Yes, Sudety Mountains were on Hitler's target list. 10. Yes, sand dunes are massive in Poland, and nice to explore. 11. Treacle is some kind of sugar syrup. 12. Yes, Bernstein is "bursztyn" in Polish. 13. The bear in the army was more of a one-off gimmick, rather than actually attempt to see if bears make good soldiers. 14. Apples in Polish dishes don't serve as side dish or substitute to rice or potatoes, but rather small addition to diverse the flavors. As vegan, I don't recommend trying duck or anything that was a living being at some point. Try pierogi with cabbage and mushrooms instead - they're amazing! 15. Yes, vodka originates from Poland. Nothing to be proud of though. 16. Yes, "zalatwic" basically means to get the shit done despite difficulties. 17. Yes, Poland refused to use Euro currency, and as the years shown, it was a good move. 18. Yes, there's a religious channel, but it's not about Pope per se, but rather anything related to Christianity. The truth is, only fraction of old people care about this channel. 19. No, name day is more of a thing of the past, when it would be celebrated almost like birthday. Just another excuse to get presents. But these days they're hardly celebrated. 20. No, Copernicus ("Kopernik" in Polish) was 100% Polish. 21. Czech and Slovak languages are fairly easy to understand for Polish, and grammatically and phonetically are the closest to Polish language. 22. To my knowledge Poland took over 15 million of Ukrainian refugees. 23. There's history of about two centuries of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. 24. Hungary has some historical friendship with Poland.

Als Kind habe ich Nahe der thüringischen Grenze gelebt und ich muss schon zugeben, dass man wirklich an den Gebäuden gemerkt hat, dass man plötzlich in Thüringen war. Aber von dem was ich bisher von Polen gesehen habe, sieht es genauso aus wie Deutschland, an vielen Stellen sogar besser beziehungsweise so gut wie die schönsten deutschen Städte. Deswegen ist es so schade, dass ihr nur ein Drittel des GDP per capita (BIP pro Kopf im Deutschen) habt, wie wir.

Copernicus (the Latin version of the Polish name Kopernik) was born in the Kingdom of Poland, his mother came from a German family, his father from a Polish one, but both of them had been subjects of the Polish kings for generations. Copernicus graduated in medicine and astronomy in Krakow (Jagiellonian University) and then studied in Padua in Italy, after which he worked for the Polish king, for the longest time as the head of the crew of the castle in Frombork (in Polish Pomerania). Here he wrote (in Latin) his opus magum "On the Revolutions of Heavenly Bodies" and economic and medical works.

Silesia was definitely originally not a German region (although later it was under German control). And in the years 1919-1921 there were three uprisings against Germany in order to ensure that Silesia comes back to Poland (Silesian Uprisings). And also in September 1939 people in Silesia were fighting against German aggresion - one of the famous examples is the defense of Parachute Tower by Polish scouts, boys and girls (most of them were killed), in Katowice (Kattowitz). And when You go for a walk in the forests of this region, there are many monuments to commemorate the graves of the Polish, scouts and others, murdered in these forests by Germans during the II WW. But it's true that the history of the region is complicated and for some centuries, before the II World War, people from different nations lived there together, also a lot of Germans. And Silesian dialect is a mixture of Polish words (often in old form) and also of German words.

In Poland, for many centuries, in fact until the 20th century, it was very common (but of course not always) to give a child the name of a saint who was the patron of the day on which the child was born. That's why name days often coincided with birthdays, but not always. generally - name days were (and are) celebrated more solemnly than birthdays. In the case of birthdays, anniversaries such as 18th birthday, 30th birthday, 40th birthday, etc. are more solemnly celebrated.

Surnames such as Piątek - Friday, Środa - Wensday (contrary to what someone wrote above, these are two very popular surnames in Poland) come either from the day on which a given person (being e.g. Protestant, Jewish or Orthodox) was baptized Catholic, or e.g. he showed up and settled in a given town, or also left in on a given day from a serious illness. In the period when surnames were formed, such events could have strongly influenced the giving of a surname to someone. Similarly, it happened with other popular Polish surnames, such as Kwiecień (April), Wrzesień (September), Marzec (March(, Styczeń (January) and Grudzień (December).

​@@chris.polandAt the beginning of the war, which was the worst time, a lot of Polish people were taking Ukrainian refugees to their homes and they stayed in the Polish families for some weeks. And everyone were collecting money, in their families or at work or at churches, or making packages with essential products to help invaded Ukrainians.

From the Polish point of view (and several neighbour countries too), the border between the Central and Eastern Europe goes along the same line as between the Catholic and Orthodox Christian countries. So, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria and Greece belong to Eastern Europe. These countries differ not only by religion but also by the cultural influence from Asia, that is Monngolia, Persia, Tartaria and Turkey. Of course the Central European countries: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Croatia have been under influence of their eastern neighbours, so the cultural border is permeable. In Poland, which is the largest of these countries, and historically most open for the influence from the East, there is a big cultural difference between Eastern and Western regions. The common historical denominator for the Central Europe is that these countries were in a varying period of time subject to foreign imperialistic rule, which reached its summit in the XIX century, when they were all under foreign rule. Another interesting fact is, that in some periods they were under either Polish (North) or Hungarian (South) rule. Bohemia sticks out from these rule, as they were under German Habsburg rule in almost 500 years, and a member of the Holy Roman Empire for 800 years.

"Załatwiać" or "zauatwiac" basically means to get something (as in an item) or get something done, but-very crucially- in an off- the books, cunning or creative manner. I THINK this mostly became popular in the communist era when you just couldn't do or get much without sort of bending the rules a bit :)

Silesia is the Latin name of the province of the Kingdom of Poland adopted in the Middle Ages, derived from the Polish name Śląsk ( meaning wet, wetlands, swamps). The old Polish word "ślozy" also meant tears, and "śluz" means "mucus" (e.g. of a snail). German name Schlesien comes from the Polish name Śląsk.

@@tomaszgarbino2774 One of the most popular etymological theories says that the name Śląsk comes from the name of the West Slavic tribe Ślężanie, which researchers associate with the name of the Ślęża river or Ślęża mountain (this tribe was part of the tribes that created the Polish state). In turn, the name Ślęża refers to the Old Polish/Old Slavic term for something wet (in nature - such as marshes, wetlands, river floodplains, swamps or other areas with a large number of springs, streams, spring floods, etc.). It is also possible that this name (Ślęża) also refers directly to the term "tear" in Old Polish ("śloza"). Anyway, it has to do with moisture, something wet.

So your granddad comes from Silesia /Sląsk (Polish name)/ Schlesien (German version), from Oppeln - Opole today. I've spend my childhood there 🙂Opole is somehow a perfect middle sized city, very green, with lovely old town square, university, theatre, philharmonia, some industry etc. located by Odra (Oder in German) river. Easy to reach, it takes only 1.5 hour drive on the motorway from the nearest airport in Wrocław, or by train less than 1 hour.

If you want a recommendation, I'd recommend Langfocus video about the Polish language. Interesting stuff.

It's possible that your grandfather came from Silesia. This region of Poland was once inhabited by Germans. Even many words from the Silesian dialect come from Germany. If you are interested in the story of a bear who served in the army, you should react to the film about him. "The story of Wojtek, the military bear"

This region was not "once inhabited by Germans", but Germans began to settle there in the 18th century (and mix with Poles), when it came first under the rule of Austria, then Prussia. Many German Silesians were not so much new Silesians, but Germanized Silesians, especially in the second half of the 19th century during Bismarck's brutal Germanization of ethnically Polish areas (the so-called hakata). At that time, many Polish/Slavic surnames were forcibly changed to German ones, especially in Silesia and Kashubia, and speaking Polish on the street or in an office was punishable by imprisonment, while children were beaten at gendarmerie stations or in schools. Poles who insisted on their Polish origin were also forbidden to build houses.

Yes, there are some quite nice train connections in Poland. But some secondary lines are incredibly slow - basically all lines south of Wrocław, Katowice and Kraków. For example the train still takes about 4 hours to travel the 120 km between Wrocław and the Czech border.

In Poland Intercity Trains are nice, but often there are more passangers that seats, so people need to stand. Sometimes buing ticket couple days ahead you get a message, that there is no more seats, but they can't jsut add more wagons. Also when traveling in more than one person tickets can be more expensive that fuel you would burn driving a car.

Your name day is March 18/November 13 and December 4. In Poland, we usually choose the date furthest from the date of birth to have 2 events. Poor people try to choose a close date to celebrate birthdays and name days together.

Yes, your roots may be in Opole (Oppeln i think in german), ad this is part of śląsk (silesia). There is lower silesia more on west, opplau silesia in middle and higher silesia on east. Don't ask me about names otrgins :D

In Old Polish and West Slavic, "opole" meant "a neighbourly, territorial community" fighting for common interests (generally, the Polish state in the first 3-4 centuries consisted of such local communities gathered around a strong leader - self-sufficient and relatively independent of the king, which over time transformed into principalities - each of them was ruled by one of the princes from the Piast dynasty).

Your name in Polish is Krzysztof. You celebrate your name day on July 25. Germans don't celebrate name days, but what's the harm in organizing a party for your friends? Gifts from them are obligatory. When it comes to Polish fights, there is some truth in it. But someone else interrupts and we immediately argue. For history, I recommend watching the film from Sabaton's concert titled: 40:1. During World War II, in 1939, 730 Polish soldiers defended themselves against 42,000 German soldiers for three days.
