Special thanks to Dominik who was kind enough to share his knowledge of Polish history with all of us. Thanks to @thephilweknow for a gift to the channel. Thank you and all of my other subscribers for watching,
Very interesting history from your friend in this video Kerry. It brings to life different points of view what did take place during that period of time. I agree with many things he said. Good job
This is what I love about Poland, there is no secret history, no politically incorrect topics. I am surprised that Dominic didn't want to appear on camera he sounds like a reasonable and interesting guy.
I don't think he was planning on making a video that day and did not look his best. I have to respect his wishes, at least he did talk with me. It's totally up to him if he wants to show his face, it could be for many reasons.
It was a very hot day and I am a big dude so I get very red and weary sweaty in the sun. So I chickened out :) Not really used to be in front of the camera. Next time I will probably have more courage :)
Bro you are living in my city xD I hope you will enjoy it :P Now you have nice weather so you can go and visit Zagórze Śląskie where you have nice mountain lake - Jezioro or Zalew Bystrzycki. Also near by you can climb on very old unactive vulcano (i think so, its what remainds of vulcano). It call Ślęza near Sobótka village/city.
By way of correction and addition: - the burned synagogue was the second largest in Germany, but not the second in Europe, - the building made of dark brick until the end of World War II was the seat of the Gestapo (Geheime Staatspolizei) in the Silesian district - several dozen American and British prisoners of war, caught after escaping from the POW camp, depicted in the film "The Great Escape" were murdered in this building.
Hi. You are correct on both accounts. This was a spontaneous thing so I did not have time to refresh my knowledge. Plus needing to "improvise" in English and stress of being recorded also took its toll :) I confused the destroyed Generalkommando (army headquarters) building located nearby on Swidnicka street with the Polizeipresidium (police headquarters) building that is shown in this video. In the next parts you will hear me referring to the Generalkommando building as the Gestapo headquarters.
@@dominik36127 Don't worry, you did the best you could with the information you had. I often make some mistakes in a video, we are not machines and don't have Wikipedia at our fingertips when we speak.
history is starting to repeat itself a bit. it's good that you show that Poles are a tolerant nation. historia zaczyna się troche powtarzać. dobrze ze pokazujecie ze polacy są tolerancyjnym narodem.
How people were not killed by Soviets ?after the war those who fought for freedom And inteligence were killed ,it was 150 000.1,5 milion were send to Siberia where many died.At the same time all West lied about everything.InUK polish solgiers who fought for Europe could not attend after war parade.In Holand everyone Heard rhat they were libarated by Canadian And British ,Thats what they learned In schools.Only now they know they were libarated by polish solgiers.Lots of awful tragic happened
I love your videos on youtube, watch your a great youtuber with great content. But views are much less, proper SEO and video technology research. If you can advise inbox
Czech also has a German history (all famous beer of Czech was created by Germans just like the 'Dollar' (Joachimsthaler from Joachimsthal (JoachimsValley). Historically that entire part of Central Europe as welll as farer East is shaped by a mix of cultural influences (already different Germanic, Slavic tribes) and now being part of Europe/EU and Schengen makes everything free to access and livable there - even for people who were historically less related. Actually history is complex anyway. One could also see 'France' as a kind of German byproduct. The name (same as in Frankfurt, Franken/Bavaria, Frankenstein etc.) is for a reason like that - and there was also no Charlemagne but the guys name just like all the names of the different dynasties at that time in most parts of Europe was Germanic - because it was after the crash of Western Roman Empires all kind of Germanic Empires, Microstates and Kingdoms. But again: it makes more sense to look at it as European history as a whole. Apart from historical/political aspects I think that it was better for Poland to keep for many cities the German names rather the Polish ones for better marketing. German is close related to English and from a global perspective it was easier to recognize and pronounce German names. Just like the German name 'Leibach or Laibach' for 'Ljubljana/Slovenia' was easier to recognize/pronounce from the world. More extreme cases are towns like 'Warmątowice Sienkiewiczowskie' in Poland. Not just difficult to speak but also to memorize for a global audience. Of course there are many regions in the world where its even more complicated if one used the original non-latin script AND the original pronuncation what most even would not recognize because not being able to read/mem in the first place. Most people would not even recognize that 'القاهرة' is Cairo or 上海 is Shanghai. In such cases its more obvious why the English naming is more connectable to the global society.

There is so much war related history in Poland. It's actually hard to imagine what really took place here.

@@dominik36127 I appreciate you talking with me.
@@dominik36127 You don't need more courage, you are just more considerate like the rest of us, and it's why we have such a painful history. Take care.
Great video, thanks for sharing!

Shalom my friend.
Good job Dominik :)
Dominik really knows his history. 👍
10:35 he could mention that in this building Germans came up with the idea of creating the Auschwitz concentration camp
That is some shocking information. Such evil, evil people they were.😡
Very interesting and sad history about the Jewish holocaust! Many, many thanks to Dominik! An awesome video! Thanks for sharing.
So much history right under my nose here in Wroclaw, that I had no idea about. Dominik is a wealth of information. Thanks FC.
nice my friend.
I learned a lot.

Wow! Your secret subscriber is very well I formed!
Such a smart guy and he knows so much about history. More to come in Part 2.
@@TravelAddictGuy can’t wait!!
Wroclaw was part of Germany at that time. It was Breslau.
That's 100% true.

That mountain lake sounds nice. Thanks for the tips, I'm really enjoying your city. Dziekuje bardzo.

It's possible that he made a few small mistakes, but we are only human. Thanks for sharing.

It's always important to know history.

Not interested.
Wrocław in all history belong to Czech, Poland and Germany. It is not German city.
I don't think we went that far back in history in this video. But yes, that's correct.
