    Excuse me, but migrants are not the same who refugees are.

    Wish i could say anything more about this clip and the people it shows. What i know for sure is that these gulag survivers were concentrating in Palestine and Iraq, where they formed II Polish Corp, joined by the Carpathian Rifle Brigade. Some 4.000 Jews deserted...

    If this is really 1944, these can`t be them.

  • @IriianWarriorWithin I meant the Israelis some of whom are the children or relatives of the same migrants.

  • @Hesam0000

    I don't think all polish people want that.

  • And now their children are all grown up and want to bomb Iran!
