Why Poland??? and Powazki Cemetery

Ойын-сауық

Why Poland you might ask. Poland has been the biggest surprise of everywhere I’ve been. Honestly I had no idea. This video is the first in a 3 or 4 part series. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Powazki Cemetery
The oldest and best known Catholic cemetery in Warsaw, founded in November of 1790. Since it’s establishment a million people have been buried there, including many well known distinguished Poles. The exact number is hard to define because the cemetery’s books were destroyed in World War II
All of the cemetery grounds are deemed a National Monument.
It was designed by Dominik Merlini, the royal architect to King Stanislaw August Poniatowski. The remains of the kings family is buried in the catacombs here
You will come across the graves of many eminent writers, scholars, artists, politicians, entrepreneurs and social activists.
The first to be buried there was writer and Nobel Prize winner Wladyslaw Reymont.
It covers an area of 44 hectares, which makes it bigger than Vatican City.
44 hectares is the equivalent of over 108 acres.
It’s best to visit the cemetery on All Souls Day, which is November 1st. Poles come to the graves of their relatives and the cemetery is lit up by thousands of candles.
Thank you all for being In the journey with me❤️

In the other hands, when I came to Scotland first time I saw for the first time more "raw" graveyards, like in the middle of nowhere, and I am still in love with them. That really shows that we are always open for new but also we are able to understand how many things are incredible around us, just by talking to ppl from different places

    What an adventure Bev! I agree... Poland is a great place to visit. I was fortunate enough to go for two weeks when I was stationed in Germany to umpire the Little League and Senior League European Baseball Championships. We drove up there and each one of us had "Chaperones" (School teachers) provided by the host cities. On our off days we got to explore a little and it was amazing to have locals show us around. This was in 1997 and the one thing I remember the most (of many) was how nice everyone was and how inexpensive it was. I'm sure that has changed but it was nice to be able to pick-up the tab (on my modest military salary) at the fanciest restaurant to show my appreciation for them taking the time to show some complete stranger their country. Sorry to ramble but this video brought back a flood-gate of great memories. Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to see the rest of the series. P.S. I have some authentic Polish pottery for you when I come visit FredRock!

    The political correctness of using the term Nazis instead of Germans led to the fact that today young Germans, when asked who the Nazis were, say that they were Poles. Let's not rewrite the history. In 1939, it was Germany that invaded Poland, occupied it, and in 1944 the Warsaw Uprising was against the Germans, not against the Nazis. The term Nazi means a member of the NSDAP - Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei.

    This is a great video about Poland and Warsaw because it is rather unusual to have an American to talk abut a cemetery. Usually, you would have someone to talk about the Warsaw Royal Castle, Wilanów, Palace or some other tourist attraction in Warsaw and nearby. Powązki Cemetery is a special necropolis for Poles and Poland indeed which luckily survived the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. You will find there tombs of people who contributed greatly to Polish literature ( e.g. Władysław Reymont), music ( e.g. Czesław Niemen) , Polish WW II resistance heroes (e.g. Gen. Tadeusz "Bór" Komorowski ) and others including unfortunately, top communists like Gen. Jaruzelski, a hard-core, cruel communist who imposed harsh martial law in Poland in 1981 and prosecuted millions of Poles who were opposing communism.

Especially within such a beautifyll and historical monuments and alleys. Maybe due to the noticable presence of the past and the eternity in face of which our daily problems don't weight so much ?

    When I was young my father told me story about some of our ancestors hiding inside the graves during uprising (1863-64). They were two brothers who run out from home to fight and when things gone sore they've needed to find place to stay for some time until things don't cool down - graveyard was perfect because none thought about it and Russians didn't search it at all. So for a couple of weeks they were sleeping on coffins inside the tomb during day and go out at night to get some food and other necessities and also "you don't shit at graveyard" . I've asked if they weren't scared and he told me "you need to be afraid of living ones not the ones who are already dead". This was very powerful moment for me and from that point I never felt any sense of danger on any graveyard but instead some sense of being protected - it's hard to explain but I'm sure my son will also hear that story some day so he can love graveyards like me and probably many generations before in our family.

    In Poland we have great respect for the deceased. You can find very old Graves. These Graves are left in peace for generations to come. Every year we celebate and pray for all the deceased on november 1st where you can find thousands of candles and flowers on the cemetaries. Eventually its a place we will all end up in. In Poland you should deffinetly go hiking in our tatra Mountains, see Auschwitz Birkenau museum, and see cities like Wrocław and Kraków. Also we have beautiful Forests in all of the country, and Bieszczady where you can find peace,

    I'm not really into shopping, so was beginning to lose interest when you were describing the mall, I was surprised that you found it different -- it actually sounds just like a lot of malls we have here in Canada (Toronto specifically). A lot of people live in the City, and don't want to have to drive out to the suburbs (and fight traffic) to go to big box stores. So, unless I'm shopping for something very bulky, I'll just pick it up at a store or at a downtown mall... Then the Cemetery. Great job there. Nice photography, good background music, and yet capturing the feeling of walking about and exploring. I have some relatives buried there, but I haven't been in many, many years. Thanks!
