@beswick1111

Thank you for writing. My paternal grandmother was from Warsaw. I visited Poland this summer and loved it. Fortunately, her family left to South America before WWII. This video is beautiful and full of life. All that destroyed by hatred...)

@ampolex44 I believe you.

@ampolex44 Not true, all the security agents and high officials were not Jewish.

I was in Poland a few years after the liberation from the Communists, and spoke with anti comunist officials of the Goverment.

Poland was antisemetic way before the take over by the Communist and Jews were killed by Polish citizens also 100 years before the Comunist took power in Poland.

@ampolex44 Was Jaruzelski also a Jew? Jabłoński?Gomułka?

Only loosers like you blame for everything someone else.

@ampolex44 Nie zagladajac na Twoj profil moge stwierdzic, że jesteś flancowanym patriotą, który zza oceanu wykrzykuje, jak to mu ukradzono ojczyznę. Oczywiście wszystko co złe to żydy, niemry i ruskie, tak? Przez takich ludzi jak Ty, ten kraj nie mógł przez 50 lat zrzucić jarzma komuny. Bo s****wiele pokazywali jedną reką 'odwiecznego wroga', by drugą kraść do swojej kieszeni, a pożyteczni idioci kupowali tą gadkę. Chcesz być patriotą? Wróć do Polski.
