A rabbi from Texas visits Poland for the first time.

My channel on you tube : http://www.youtube.com/alanheath is one of the most prolific from Poland, although unfortunately not the most visited. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. I have produced more than 400 original films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occassional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects

Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!

There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- http://www.ceepackaging.com - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focussing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!

Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region and the sites http://www.ceepackaging.com/articles/events/ and http://www.ceepackaging.com/articles/agenda/ give a pretty good idea where future films are going to come from! Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!

In 1997 I founded Polish Business News http://www.pbn.com.pl .There are a number of business related films here and I intend to do many more on CRM (customer relations management).

My blog can be found via http://www.ceepackaging.com and http://www.pbn.com.pl and contains background information and more details of many of my films. This information is in English.

I have also a second blog on the site http://www.navigeo.net/blog/alan-heath-blog . This site has been recently started by a friend and I think it will soon be one of the leading travel sites in Poland, if not Central Europe. It contains additional information about some of the places and events shown in these films but most of that is in Polish.

i am very polish, and my grandfather won't tell my family about his family. I have realized that Poland was very Jewish in my grandparents time (he left during the Holocaust) . i have been researching the possibilities for my family that remains a mystery to me, and i realized that there is a huge possibility that he was jewish,and tried to hide his heritage to survive the holocaust. I welcome having jewish heritage, and if anyone has a comment on my situation, don't hesitate to reply!

[alanheath]

There are a lot of people in your position.

What american Jews do for Jews in East Europe in 2 world war? Nothing! They even afraid making the films about holocaust it in the war times. In German-occupied Poland, all household members were punished by death if a Jew were found concealed in their home or property. This was the most severe law enforced by the Germans in occupied Europe and We Poles are on the first location on Righteous among the Nations list - 6066 righteous of polish ethnicity.

Things american Jews are thinking about Poland are wery sad.

@KillaKowalski19 Well, family history is often badly told and much information is lost forever from a generation to another.

There were jews who, even long before the WWII, started to live like the non-jews and even intermarry with them, part of then becoming regular poles, part of them staying jewish.

Certain polish-looking jews dropped for good their jewishness when they thought they had enough during WWII.

It doesn't help that most of the old documents were burned during WWII.

@Nadav34 Jews suffered just as much if not more under communism. The religious communities were destroyed, the culture was pretty much banned, and MORE Jews than non-Jews percentage-wise were deported from the areas that the Soviet Union conquered. Those are facts. Jews who were Bolsheviks were traitors to their people.
