With Maria Sklodowska-Curie is similar story like breaking enigma code during WWII. Polish scientist was able to create device called Bomb. When polish lost war in 1939 device, plans of Enigma (which polish intelligence was able to copy from original one) was transported to UK. That was basement to all what happened next in Bletchley Park. Still i heard that British brake all alone but without polish contribution they will not have even idea how Enigma looks like.

@@peterkonitzer4410 Similar, when it comes to attempts to erase the achievements of Poles in the field of science. Maria Skłodowska-Curie is known to most of the world as a French-born woman who owes her achievements to her French education. The decryption of the enigma is credited to Alan Mathison Turing and the Bombe machine he constructed at Bletchley Park, completely ignoring the fact that Poles helped break the code. The British struggled to understand how the machine worked, but the Poles began making progress before the start of World War II. The main cipher makers who joined the Cipher Bureau of the General Staff in Warsaw were Jerzy Różycki, Henryk Zygalski and Marian Rejewski. The team developed tools to work with hundreds of permutations, including punched cards and a mechanical device with rotors mimicking the Enigma, which the team called the bomb for unknown reasons. Both concepts were later used and developed by Alan Turing. As for the "stupid Poles" jokes, it's easy to call some other nation stupid when history has been rewritten.

Franch language was commonly learnd and spoken by Polish Inteligence, like english today. Probably after Napoleon wars. I'm sure Maria knew the language before migration.

Small remark: Maria spoke 5 languages: Polish, Russian, French, German and English. She was fluent in all of them. She was very talented not only in science but also was polyglot;) French was English of those times; p but Maria in general was super smart woman and very independent. Oh and she was best friends with Einstein who she recommended to his first serious job in Switzerland;) they were both quite rebellious and outsiders so found common grounds easilly.

I did my degree in Kingston University London, they spend over 2h to talk abt her. Was sooo proud! And yes, I am a scientist. Abt other language…went to uni when I was 36 single mum. Learned in English even if I had some few lectures in primary school only. Wrote 2 dissertations in English( bachelor and masters). Finished one of the most difficult faculties.

Random yet interesting trivia related to her: 1. If she were not married to her husband working at the same institute she would be forbidden from acessing the lab in which she had to experiment. Why? She was only allowed there as a wife assisting her husband. Other academic females were ofcially and legally forbidden from getting to the floor on which chemical lab was based. Why? At that time this is how pregnancy safety rules were like. And also "moral protection of female fragile minds". 2. Her own daugther, maybe lesser known than her famous mother also had quite a radiant career. 3. She was the first person ever being awarded the Noble Prize for an individual scientific achievement in the field of chemistry twice in her lifetime and the first woman ever to be awarded a Noble Prize in chemistry. Despite this shortly after this her application to the French Academy of Science has been rejected on the grounds of her being a female and a foreigner ( not French citizen/ non- native French person). However sha managed to join a Russian institution having similar well- established high position in chemistry as a science as French Academy of Science.

The entire Curie family is honestly incredible. You heard about Irene's achievements in the video. But her children also became scientists. Helene is nuclear physicist and Pierre is a biochemist. More so, the other daughter of Pierre and Maria was nothing short of an interesting person albeit not a scientist. Eve was a writer and journalist, during WWII she supported Free France and worked as War Correspondent, travelling to different parts of the world. She even joined the military as a nurse I believe. After war she was an advisor to the Secretary General of NATO. Also actively took part in UNICEF work. She got many medals for her achievements, from France and Poland. Truly remarkable people I must say.

Yes, indeed. A pity really her children never gained half of the popularity of their mother since it indeed was a very accomplished and very talented family. But also a family with a true love for science and education.

Interesting fact Maria wanted to be called Maria Curie-Skłodowska ( in that order). Recently husband's name follows maiden name, but in that times there was no standard for that. In Poland both versions are used.

She made a point to keep her last name two part, because she wanted to be recognised as a Pole, especially when Poland was practically non-existent. Maybe a gesture of solidarity with underground resistance.

His daughter Helena Joliot married Michel Langevin, grandson of famous scientist Paul Langevin, alleged lover of Maria Curie so finally Curies and Langevins met in third generation.

In Poland, she is simply Maria Skłodowska.

Just one remark: Her name was pronounced Marya, like in Maya.

Polish language was not forbidden to speak during partitions in Russian part of Poland in XIX century, it's more complicated. Part of Poland around of Warsaw was formally Kingdom of Poland with Russian Tsar as Polish king from 1815 to 1867 and it has authonomy, diminished over time. After January Uprising 1863-64 Tsar decided to abolish authonomy and from 1867 to 1916 this part of Poland was formally included into Russian Empire (more Eastern parts that are today Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine were included into Russian Empire 1772-95). After abolishing authonomy Polish language was abolished in official documents and probably for teaching at the University (I am not sure about that) and maybe some other schools. Similar situation was in German part of Poland at the end of XIX century, but in Austrian part it was opposite, after changing into Austria-Hungary (1848) authonomy for Polish part was bigger than earlier. Kraków was in Austrian part and there at the University Polish language was fully allowed. Polish language was allowed to speak all this time and Polish books were printed and sold, but with some political censorship. Books that could not be printed in Russian Empire were sometimes smuggled from other parts of Poland. PS. Look for story of matematician Emmy Noether.

Many lives would be lost if she go back Poland

20:00 You see, you have a nature of most of the Poles in one sentence: She did what was right.

U didnt know like most of people on west cause french culture and influence which were and still are superior to Polish portrayed Her as French scientist only. They never mentioned about her birthplace or maiden name which She never replaced and just used both. Im not saying France cant be proud of Her achievments. She studied in France and all researches were made in France. But trying to monopolize everything in the same way as with Chopin or with Copernicus on German side... Pathetic.

It is this ignorance of what life looks like under Russian rule or occupation by Russia that results in the lack of reaction towards it. In Ukraine, the same thing is happening now and has happened before. The official language was Russian, a large part of Ukrainians, especially the older ones, speak only Russian. That's why learning real information is so important. Now that there is so much information available on the internet, you can learn about almost anything. I really like your channel and the enthusiasm you have for Poland.

I would say yes, but I must admit that there are also some greedy Poles. It just depends on whether one has had any difficulties in life or is well educated and knows that many people, both in the country and in the world, have had and still have difficulties in life - without such knowledge or experience, greed has the upper hand (except the hardened egocentrics naturally greedy). Most Poles have deep sympathy for people in urgent need and are able to reject their slightly egocentric point of view in everyday small matters in favor of something more socially important. Sometimes foreigners accused Poles of being closed and reluctant towards migrants, but as a nation that has faced many difficulties in history and fought with them, we have learned to see if someone really needs help or just wants something for free, giving nothing in exchange. We have great compassion for people in sudden and innocent need, but we are dissatisfied with people who do not want to help themselves first, but want to get the convenience of life for free. A lot of Poles used to and still move around the world, but I have not heard that in the long run as a group they were financial or social burden for the natives anywhere. To sum up - Maria Skłodowska-Curie significantly stands out above all the good qualities that I have partially mentioned, which is why in Poland she is defined as a role model and remembered with great respect. PS: Another woman in Polish history who is held in similar esteem is Queen Bona Sforza. She came from Italy, married the Polish king, she was perfectly educated, brave and go-getting, she knew politics, so the Polish king willingly and officially used her advice and ideas for reforms that were very much needed for the development of the state.

We have this common sense what are these right things that have to be done no matter what, even against our own interests, it applies also to politics. And we are pretty bold with our moral code. Many times those things are idealistic to the point that might be missunderstood abroad. Foreigners might think we are unpredictable, but we are actually very predictable. There are few who understand this. E.g. Napoleon really didn't understand this when sent Poles to fight with slave uprising in Haiti. Poles made the only right thing - helped people to gain the independence, even if that was against our interest. However I heard somewhere, but I am not able to say if it is true or not, that Hitler attacked Poland first as he knew that nobody would really help, while if he would attack France or UK, Poland would be first to stand up. And this is very realistic scenario. Well, even knowing nobody really helped us we fought in many countries, who unfortunatelly didn't share the same ethic nor morales after war ended.

I am low key laughing that the lector is rolling the "r" when pronouncing her name in Polish, but still mispronounces it. If we pronounce it the Polish way, the "ia" in Maria is like Eng "ya" - Mar-ya (Mar like in March). Beside that, it is such a shame that the world doesn't know her surname... She was using both of her surnames (it is a somehow common practice for women to combine their maiden name with the husband's name), in Poland we call her either Skłodowska-Curie or even just Skłodowska - but I've never heard a Pole calling her just Curie.

Always frustrates me that women get pushed down by arrogant males, gradually changing, but not quick enough. She was a brilliant woman and deserved the accolades she eventually got. I knew she was Polish, but not aware of her maiden name.

But great how her husband stood by her side rather than leading Infront of her 🙂

I have a question. Why are you constantly reacting to Poland and Polish people? (I'm asking as a Pole).

Well over the last 2 years I have gone from Rugby, to AFL, to Australia and now to Poland. I have a genuine interest in Poland as ive been four times so thought it made sense to explore Poland. But as you can see I have a lot of videos on other topics :)

Hi. Thank you for your interest in our country, or perhaps I’d better say culture. But there’s this question that drives me crazy… What’s so special about Poland that drew your attention? I mean I’m flatered, but also surprised. First time I’m seeing someone from the west being so interested in Poland. And by the way, the word „Pole” sounds really weird to me. I mean I have poles in my tent… so I’d rather hear someone call us „Polish People” than Poles. Just like Morgan Freeman’s last statement about „African American” term being offensive. In my case Pole sounds just weird, not offensive. P.s. weird means odd… just watched your american-english translation video :D

haha well we are brits, so Pole is just a shorterned version with an e on the end. Well me and a friend in 2012 wanted to go on holiday and we found Poland was cheap and not somewhere many other people went. So we went. I then went again on my stag do. Then I wanted to show Krakow to my wife so we went. And then we went again. Plus in december Charlie went to Gdansk as she wanted a trip to a european christmas market. I just love the mix of history, culture, modernism great food, great drink etc. Its such a mix. I also love that its not somewhere most Brits would think of going! Hope that answers your questions. Oh and dont forget to subscribe to our vlog channel where we filmed our recent trips to Poland :) kzread.info/head/PLw4JaWCFm7FeHG7Ad5PtaZzoYd1Vq5EXW

@@RobReacts1 If Charlie enjoyed Gdańsk's Christmas Market you guys really should consider St. Dominic's Fair - one of the biggest and oldest annual open-air events in Europe. It's also in Gdańsk and this year it will last from 22 July till 13 August. There's something for everyone: art, food, local craftsmanship, jewelry (lots of amber), historical souvenirs, concerts, you name it. I'm positive you would love it. And I've seen enough of Gdańsk citizens in your comment section already. I'm sure most of them would be happy to grab a pint with you!
