Poland wasn't attacked by Nazists but by the Germany and Soviets.

[@robertkowalski7932]

For years, German youth have been taught that the Nazis are to blame for everything, and there were 161 of them (that's how many were sentenced at Nuremberg). And these 161 Nazis intimidated all of Germany, and of course the Germans did not support them. The bombing in 1939 only partially destroyed Warsaw, most of the buildings were blown up by the Germans (probably the 161 Nazis) after the Warsaw Uprising, deliberately planting explosives, tenement house after tenement house.

Regarding lektor- it's hard to explain, but after a while you stop hearing the lektor and start hearing actor's real voices in the background. Your brain quickly adjusts to it and I love watching movies with lektor, it's one of the concepts that you really have to try to understand because when you just think about it, it doesn't make any sense.

[@hubik9847]

In old Poland, Dziady was celebrated, not Halloween. Mickiewicz even wrote a book about this holiday

[@arturkranz-dobrowolski2959]

In 1887, Mickiewicz's drama "Dziady" (Forfather's Eve) was translated into German by Siegfried Lipiner and published under the title "Todtenfeier". Gustav Mahler, the eminent Austrian composer, came to know them in this version. Inspired by this work, Mahler first composes the symphonic poem "Todtenfeier" and then the Resurrection Symphony. In the case of the symphony, the inspiration of Mickiewicz's work mainly concerns its first movement.

[@niktniewiem4785]

Oh man, I have to explain it all on another channel... Please do not listen to "FACTS" about Poland from channels, that are not FROM Poland! Many of those "facts" are mistaken or outdated or oversimplified or just straight up BS (like the pizza one, I don't even have an idea where did this guy get that idea about pizza in Poland.... wtf, we have normal pizza). Marie Curie was not named Marie Curie! Her name was Marie Skłodowska-Curie and she actively fought really hard to be called by her full name, ALWAYS insisting to refer her as Polish woman. She said she really struggled to convince people, because they were not happy, that she is giving her accomplishements to Poland rather than to France. This shit is continuing to this day and it needs to STOP. Even the guy who made the video didn't write her full name! Name is the gratest honor and should be respected, especially when someone of such caliber was fighting so hard for it. Next, kissing woman's hand is not in FASHION, it is more of a relict of the past and only old farts do this. Most women do not like it, and I've never seen a younger than 50 years old man do this. Sadly, śmingus is becoming a thing of the past too, but spanking with branches is a thing of a FAR FAR past, this dude just read some stupid article and didn't even understand it (I know exactly which one). Name day is a thing, but I would never say it is more important than birthday. Everyone celebrates birthday at least somehow, at list little birthday wishes, bur some people do not calebrate name day at all, I don't even remember mine for example. Another thing from the past, with the TV dubbing. Far past. Big movies are always actor dubbed now, some have also versions with lektor. There are 48 Gutenberg Bibles left in the world..... This dude is just so bad at his job, I just can't. His pronounciations are one of the worst I've ever seen any English lector say, like he didn't even bother to at least check the pronounciation with google translate voice, and it is his job. ANOTHER stupid comment about aniconception methods. They are all allowed, only abortion is not and only church is condemning anticonception, but i guess he does it all over the world. This movie is just terrible and I've stated it clearly on many channels. Chris, please forget it, or at least read what I've wrote, thank you.

About Polish worlwide known scientists, one should also mention for instance Jan Czochralski - he was a Polish chemist who invented so-called Czochralski method, which is used in growing single crystals and in production of semiconductor wafers. His method is still used in over 90 % of all electronics in the world that use semiconductors. He is the most cited Polish scholar (very well known and cited in many countries, in plenty of publications, even in China).

[@arturkranz-dobrowolski2959]

Czochralski developed his method in 1916. In 1954, engineers at Texas Instruments used it to produce the first transistor. Thus begins the road to the age of electronics and computers.

@@arturkranz-dobrowolski2959 Yes, but without his invention it wouldn't be possible at all.

She was born as Maria Skłodowska, in Polish family in Warsaw, the capital of Poland. She went to France, when she was 24, to study. There she married Pierre Curie. Pierre Curie was a great husband, for example, he did not agree to accept the Nobel Prize alone, for their joint discovery. In the end, they got this Nobel prize together. Pierre fought for Marie to be treated as a full-fledged scientist, not her husband's assistant.

The 'Polish dubbing' thing is a very wrong way of looking at it. It's not 'very bad dub', it's 'great subtitles that read themselves!' It stems from waaaay back when, from the time of small CRT TVs, analogue signal and low resolution. At the same time, small country that does not produce enough content to fill the whole lineup with native programming so you have to get some foreign stuff and that gives you a dilemma; either dub it or subtitle it. Dubing a lot of content takes a lot of money and time. Subtitles would not be visible on crappy old TVs. So... Have someone read the subtitles in a monotone and unobtrusive way. Presto! Polish 'lektor'. And we got so used to it that whenever you come across something actually dubbed on the telly, you switch the channel, cause "it must be something for kids or teens" (those did get dubbed way back when). And yes, now that we can afford a proper dub we DO NOT WANT IT! 😁

Halloween is NOT a new thing, it is based on an old tradition, like most such things. Halloween's origins can be traced back to the ancient (at least about 2 thousand years ago) Celtic festival known as Samhain, which was held on November 1 in contemporary calendars (or according to rather sources: on the night of October 31). It was believed that on that day, the souls of the dead returned to their homes, so people dressed in costumes and lit bonfires to ward off spirits. In later centuries, people began dressing as ghosts, demons, and other malevolent creatures, performing antics in exchange for food and drink. This custom, known as mumming, dates back to the Middle Ages and is thought to be an antecedent of trick-or-treating. (source: History com, "How Trick-or-Treating Became a Halloween Tradition")

Interestingly, a city 140 km away from Warsaw was barely touched. Łódź, the city I'm talking about, was cosidered up to German standards. The city before the war housed four cultures (Polish, Jewish, German and Russian) and Germans who came there influenced the growth of the city immensly. Because of that there was also a big Volskdeutsch community. Funnily enough some buildings in Łódź had to be taken apart to rebuild Warsaw.

The most perfidious thing is that many of the achievements that Poland is owed are attributed to other countries (previously this was mainly the case), e.g. Enigma, and collaboration with the Germans was attributed, while such Belgians, French and Dutch collaborated with the Germans and, most interestingly, little is said about it! Therefore, in my opinion, in terms of how much Poland had to suffer throughout its history, plus the lies that other countries repeat, I believe that we are the most harmed nation, not counting the destruction caused during World War II, everyone ignored us, and we just wanted to be normal and calm lives

In Poland, films are translated by a narrator - one person, but this is not a form of DUBBING. The original soundtrack can be heard in the background, including the actors' voices, which are only slightly muted. The narrator seems to translate in real time. This way, after a short while, you don't even pay attention to the narrator if he has good diction. Why do we do this? Well, acting is not only gestures, but also the actor's real voice and diction. The entire soundtrack is part of the filmmakers' work, which also affects the final reception of the film. This is a sign of respect for the entire film crew. Dubbing kills it all and is the stupidest thing you can do to a movie. You lose the original soundtrack, the original lyrics in the actors' native language, the original acting, which is replaced by other actors.

There attackers did not sing the anthem of Naziland here, the death camps were owned by a certain state and the proceeds went to a certain state and it was not Naziland. This is a sensetive issue in Poland.

[@chris.poland]

I always hear it wasn't the Nazis, it was the Germans. Guess what, it was both, because the Nazis were in command and the Nazis (at least most of them) were Germans. But what is always implied with the statement is that the Germans all wanted it that way and that is wrong, many Russians don't want war with Ukraine now either, but you see what happens with critics like Navalny. What Germans wanted at the time were secure jobs, a stable government and a stable currency and a man who would show them the way in such an uncertain time. However, very few people wanted the direction he showed them, but by then it was already too late, which is always the case in a dictatorship. When times are uncertain, people like to vote for extremes (especially right-wingers) because they have simple solutions, like back then the Jews and non-Aryans were the culprits and today it's the foreigners who only live in our country at state expense or the Germans who brought foreigners to Europe and now don't want to bother about it.

@@chris.poland Dear Chris, this is a never ending discussion and I'm afraid you'll be getting this kind of comments with every video, because even if you answer some people now, there always will be new ones who'll see a video and react to that. In short, there were times when Poles didn't care about whether those were the Nazis or Germans or Nazi camps or Polish camps (seeing it as only depiction of the territory and politics, and not the national ownership of the camps). That all ended some 20 years ago when it was discovered that so much time had passed, and the history lessons all over the world are so bad, that children asked in surveys "Who were the Nazis" chose the answer "Poles", and it turned out that was because of using the name "Polish camps". Then people looked even closer, and it turned out that even Dachau and Buchenwald are sometimes called "Polish camps" because who cares about geography. It's even more confusing with the territories that are in Poland now but weren't during WW2. I.e. Auschwitz wasn't built in Poland. It was built in Germany, in the territories that were officially annexed to the Reich while all Poles living there were expelled, and most Polish Jews never saw Auschwitz. On the other hand, camps like Majdanek or Treblinka were built in the occupied Poland, and that's where the Polish Jews died. Since then Poles are allergic to the word Nazi being used separately from any nationality, and a huge diplomatic action was taken to convince media and institutions all over the world to change their language. So if you want to avoid the never ending comments but at the same time don't want to blame all the Germans, I'd suggest using the names Nazi Germany and Nazi Germans, or even Nazi Germans and their allies since we know those weren't only Germans. Or just add a relevant caption in your vids to end the subject. Trust me, once you'll get through this point it'll get easier.

I like lector more than dubbing. Why? Because dubbing will never cover actors' mouth moves perfectly. So it is a bit uncomfortable to watch. When you hear lector and original voices in the background, that sounds more natural. Also lector tries to express with his voice the emotions specific to each character in the movie. Not everyone can be a lector. It is almost an art.

[@MayaTheDecemberGirl]

Polish lector is not because of shortage of money to hire more actors. It's just a tradition in Poland, and if one gets used to it, it's actually even better than dubbing. Because You can hear a bit of the original voices, while he is reading. And the people chosen to work as lectors have really good, characteristic voices, that are remembered later for years or decades (everyone knows in Poland some of these voices). I personally hate dubbing and cannot watch movies with dubbing. If it's dubbing, I choose original version with subtitles (even if it's Chinese or Japanese etc.).

If you thought Maria Skłodowska-Curie was French, you probably think Joseph Conrad was English. Well, Conrad ethnically was 100% Polish and his original name was Jozef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski coat of arms Nałęcz. The same goes for the great French poet, Apoliner. His Polish name was Apolinary Kostrowicki. And how about the Germans? Well, Friedrich Nietzsche insisted that he had Polish roots, that his lineage descended from a family of Polish nobility with the surname Nicki. This can only be a myth. What is not a myth, on the other hand, is that Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's roots lie in a Polish Arian family with the surname Lubieniecki. An interesting figure is the eminent surgeon Jan Mikulicz-Radecki, known in Germany as Johann Freiherr von Mikulicz-Radecki. His parental ancestors of the Mikulicz family were of Polish szlachta origin and had been granted the Gozdawa coat of arms by King John III Sobieski after the 1683 Battle of Vienna. His mother Emilie Freiin von Damnitz was of Austrian descent. When asked his nationality he simply answered "surgeon". The maiden name of Gottlob Frege's mother was Blaloblotzky. In the Polish orthography Białobłocki. It is a purely Polish surname with the meaning: coming from the white marshes. One final comment. First let me ask, do you have a fridge? If so, mention Kraków on 29 March. On 29 March 1883, oxygen was liquefied in Krakow, followed a few days later by nitrogen and carbon monoxide. This was done by two professors from the Jagiellonian University: Zygmunt Wróblewski (physicist) and Karol Olszewski (chemist). In doing so, they opened the way to low-temperature technology.

I believe that Polish TV voice-over has more advantages than typical dubbing, where each actor has a voice in a given language. This way you listen to the original language of the film and at the same time hear what it means. This is how I learned English by watching films, most often in English. I don't speak it perfectly, but I speak it well enough that I can communicate in it. And what's most interesting. I understand much more than I say, but that's only due to grammar deficiencies, etc. However, for many years I have been watching films on YT or elsewhere in English, without subtitles in Polish. Moreover, the dubbing (not only Polish, but also German, probably others as well) is terribly artificial. Only in children's films does Polish dubbing sound good. Perhaps because a lot more effort and work is put into it to make it sound good. Best regards. :)
