Jestem Polakiem...

I wziely sie za lby za jablka. Oto Polska wlasnie. Ponizej :

He left in his will all his monies to the education and purchasing of property for deserving Black people and for a trust, be set up for their future education of their children.

Lynne Olson is an absolute treasure in bringing to light the otherside of the World War II and and I particularly liked the way she understood Polish situation and angst because of the political decision to join Soviet Russia as an Ally.

He owned slaves. This is revisionist history.

Będąc w tym czasie w San Jose u mojego syna, miałem to wielkie szczęście widzieć na żywo przejście Daru Młodzieży pod mostem Golden Gate, widok którego nie da się zapomnieć, a zobaczenie Polskiej Flagi w takim miejscu zostanie w moim sercu na zawsze :) Pozdrawiam, Sławek Pietrzak

Up in Upstate New York, one of the few recognizable landmarks around Albany is the Twin Bridges over the Mohawk River, which officially bear Kosciuszko's name

*This Polish dude is definitely underrated; he had many adventures in European conflicts afterwards similar to de Lafayette*

I’m looking to have a mountain in New Hampshire named after Kosciuszko. There’s already a Mt Lafayette, Mt Lincoln, and a Mt Liberty all in line, so a Mt Kosciuszko would fit in perfectly. Thank you for this video.

Nothing is going to whitewash or wash away the fact that Jefferson owned slaves and he declined to freedom when Kosciusko requested he's unpaid money $17.000 will pay for slaves freedom plus 100 acres of land per person. Jefferson never did that because he wanted to keep slaves in a slavery. Kościuszko was probably The greatest man of polish descent in the USA

would anyone acctualy know how to contact Mrs Antonia?

I know I'm late here, but I would have given anything to have seen the slides they were showing. Thank you for this presentation, regardless of my petty complaint. Dzienkuje

There is a park with a monument dedicated to Kosciusko where I live

God bless you sir❤️

Nice and Creative Videos， This is really my favourite channel.:). I really glad to see your post and your world was so brilliant.I decided to share them with my friends. Hope to bring happiness and healing to those who are stuck at home 🌴🌴🌴 excellent and Much appreciated!!🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 Bill Johnston Park

A Hero of Two Great Nations.

Thank you for opening up this new world for me. My mother's family came from Poland and I want to have a stronger sense of my heritage, other than my maiden name, Gecewicz. Please share more!!

Ironically, I had never heard of Kosciuszko before his statue was vandalized. I find American Revolutionary history fascinating, and I"m glad to learn about this hero!

As I watch this, the Kosciuszko statue in Washington stands vandalized. It shows the profound ignorance of what Kosciuszko stood for. Chopin was inspired by the fact his father fought for Kosciuszko.

O matko, mogliscie wymyć ten statek przed podróżą. Co za wstyd.

now it's devastated

pronounced Koz-E-os-coe in Indiana

POLAND

God bless you that was a horrible War and the Polish people were so mistreated. Even after the war they were sent back to pull in and had to deal with the Russians who murdered them tortured them jailed them and work them to death. These were the heroes that saved England turn the English people booted them out. The Bible tells us that we are evil and we are. The only salvation is Christ I'm just blood and no religion just a relationship

Nawet nikt ich nie przywitał :( smutne .

Poprostu wstyd zeby polacy mieszkajacy w Miami nie mogli zobaczys statku w porcie gdyz nie zostaja wpuszczeni czekalismy 1,5h w kolejce po czym nas wyproszono Dzieki jestescie beznadziejni

What an AMAAAZING experience! So happy that I was able to participate in the preparations for this memorable arrival. AND what a joy to be on the Fire Boat for arrival and departure! Thrill of the year! Track the whole voyage on their Facebook page and see the the thousands of photos documenting this trip of a lifetime, including an audience with Pope Francis in Panama for World Youth Days. The DAR MLODZIEZY is on a 'round the world voyage celebrating the Centennial of Poland's Regained Independence. 1918-2018. BRAVO!!

Pięknie !! Ale szkoda, że nie przy pełnych żaglach.

Did they forget about a certain war which removed their independence for about 6 years? Asking for a friend.

I was not aware that there was a Polish school in TelAviv..., That this Gentleman graduated from.

Thank you All. Tadeusz Kościuszko a Hero of the Two Great Nations deserves to be recognisised like so. Only more often :)

Thank you Poland for being part of the POLISH HOLOCAUST. You POLAND were major participants in the Polish Holocaust. I am sure that you have little moral compass but now you are weak and we are strong. Your country is now a post communist joke. POLISH HOLOCAUST

The recent Brouhaha over a faux pas Polish Death Camps has caused a furor that is misguided and not properly understood for the false insult it is and the true motivation behind the Polish intent to punish people who suggest antisemitism is part of Poland's history. I used to drive by the statue to commemorate General Thaddeus Kosciuszko contribution to America's liberation from Britain but I fear for Poland today. The Times of Israel had this much better rejection of Holocaust denial by the Muslim Brotherhood affiliate n the USA. "A group of Muslim leaders from around the globe, including the President of the Islamic Society of North America, issued a joint statement condemning denial - or justification - of the Holocaust and rejecting anti-Semitism in any form. “We bear witness to the absolute horror and tragedy of the Holocaust where millions upon millions of human souls perished, more than half of whom were people of the Jewish faith,” said the missive, which was signed by 10 leading Islamic figures in Warsaw on Monday, AFP reported. “We acknowledge, as witnesses, that it is unacceptable to deny this historical reality and declare such denials or any justification of this tragedy as against the Islamic code of ethics.” They still stop short of suggesting the Nazis murder spree was motivated by their intention to murder ALL the Jews. It also stops short of suggesting that antisemtism was more widespread and a contributing factor even until today. In proportion, half of the Holocausts victims were Jews the majority not something to brag about but in terms of population it was more than half of all of Europes Jews. While one might suggest other people suffered from war and died in death camps for political and other discriminatory practices of the Nazis it was the Nazis single focus racism and bigotry heaped on the Jews that set it all in motion and contributed to the inclusion of other peoples in Holocaust. And the rebuttal headline from Polish news, "Jewish death camps"? Based on the known fact Kapos and death camp SLAVES served or died is cynical and antisemitic at best. If the Polish people think this is an apt response to the faux pas of "Polish death camps" they are more antisemitic than I had been lead to believe. "Me thinks my lady thou dost protest too much." I would add one more point. Islamists now want Europeans and Americans to believe that antisemitism is the same as Islamophobia. Their sudden shift from Holocaust denial to one that in some ways appears to be an endorsement of the fact the Holocaust did occur and Jews were murdered en masse is not the same as Islamophobia. Islamists are continuing their attempts to pass by Resolution in the UN and a Bill in The US Congress making criticism of sharia and Islam on the same par as antisemitism they are pushing the same agenda in Europe. It serves an agenda that is anti-pluralism, and anti democratic and secular institutions in the west. it is as much motivated by political chauvinistic views as anything religious. It would also inhibit criticism of the Islamic Revolution and one party Islamic States which do not always clearly define where criticism of Islam stops and criticism of the state begins. It is an attempt to undermine by false comparison the necessity of a Jewish Homeland. It is especially egregious that an affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood which is well documented for its genocide against non-Muslim peoples and while 200 million plus Christians face a day to day oppression and threat of Islamic sharia law throughout Caliphate states the Polish Government has lined up with them. No wonder the statue on the West Point plains faces West.

The narrator keeps mispronouncing Kościuszko's name! He says "Koss-choosko" instead of "Kosh-choosh-ko". Hard to believe the Polish embassy couldn't teach this man to pronounce it correctly or find someone who could.

POLAND IS THE BEST COUNTRY IN EUROPE

If you’re still having trouble pronouncing ‘Kościuszko’ after watching this charming video from our colleagues at the Polish Embassy in Washington, why not check out Culture.pl’s explainer on how to do it like a native? ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWW6qXWspc18r8k

What an interesting man he is. I could sit and listen to him all day. Thanks.

As an Australian of part Polish descent I have yet to see an American documentary, movie, TV show or even a history book about the American Revolution even mention Kosciuszko. The same applies to the father of the American Cavalry, Casimir Pulaski. All I hear about here in Australia are Americans of all colours and creeds telling disgusting Polish jokes. There is no mention of the 1608 Jamestown Polish settlers or Sadowski (nee Sandusky) who established a the first trading post in Ohio, and whose grandsons were scouts for Daniel Boone as he settled Kentucky. No mention at all.

No one is better than Lynne Olson at telling the “big” story of historical events and giving that history life by including personalized, specific experiences that add to reader insights and engagement. The parallel today with innocent civilian victims fleeing ISIS-controlled areas is striking. A number of Poles fleeing the Nazis, especially Jews, were exiled at first to the Isle of Man until it was realized that no one was as dedicated to fighting the enemy than those who had been persecuted. Two Polish cryptographers who had stolen an Enigma machine and who had made progress cracking the German codes were so distrusted that they were never allowed to join the codebreakers at Bletchley and their talents were never employed during the war. Sadly, at the end of Olson’s story, those Poles who stood on ethical high ground or contributed the most to Britain’s security in the hour of its greatest peril were often abandoned at the end of the war. As Olson writes, Poles contributed much to the Battle of Britain, to code breaking, and to spying on the Third Reich. Churchill and Roosevelt stood aside as Stalin’s forces occupied Eastern Europe and many Poles who had sought refuge in “Last Hope Island” during the war met untimely death when they returned to Poland and resisted Communism as they had resisted Nazism.

Bolek so many ppl dont know the truth. I hope u will get cancer soon. Fuck comunism, KGB FSB, SB, UB and more u pice of shit.
