Watching a great Polish TV series called “Stulecie Winnych”, about a Polish family that chronicles their lives from 1914 to the present day, it really shows the cruelty Poles got from both sides.
The city Parczew Poland is where my wifes good friend is now. She goes over once a year to visit her children who are still there. She is stuck there because, I think, she is trying to get her family to hell out of there.
She is in her 80s and a resident of AZ. She was a little girl under the German occupation of Poland. She watched Ukrainian soldiers execute many Poles around her town. Both ways. The ones working with the Germans and then the ones fighting under the Russians.
Although she absolutely HATES Germans, she doesnt trust Russians or any of those formerly Russian WW2 allies from that block of ethnic groups.
