Thank you, daniel!Again, glad to, Cronos. One thing can be said about the Poles: they're survivors. What we North Americans call "hell," they call "history."
hell is correct. I recently went on a hiking trip in Bieszczady (the South-Eastern mountains) near towns like Przemyśl and Jarosław -- and around these nearly a million soldiers died during WWI. Poland was the battlefield for both WWI and WWII -- it's incredible that they came out of that and communism with their nation intact.
