Many mistakes in this video. Actually Max Factor was not founded by a woman, but my Mister Max Factor himself. His name was Maksimilian Faktorowicz, but when Hollywood discovered him in 1920s Warsaw they brought him to Hollywood to be the go-to make up guy for movies! Since then he was called Max Factor for short!

The number 4 is completely untrue and wrong stereotype. Poland has historically been a very multinational state. Today we have a lot of students, immigrants, tourists from all over the world. In some companies in Warsaw, we have more immigrants than Poles. Maybe only in small towns off the beaten track, a black person can cause surprise, but in cities it is completely normal, and Poland is a very safe country and immigrants feel very safe.

[@reyna7680]

Polska jest krajem bezpiecznym ponieważ wciąż poziom migracji jest niewielki w porównaniu do innych krajów Europejskich. Według sondaży zdecydowana wiekszość Polaków jest przeciwna migracji z krajów muzułmańskich i Afryki. Nie chcemy powtarzać błędów Szwecji, Niemiec czy Francji gdzie poziom przestępczości wzrósł wielokrotnie po wdrożeniu polityki otwartych drzwi dla migrantów.

Hi there! In Hollywood they say that the Polish camera operators and set designers are the best... Lot of people don't know that in many great movies, known in entire world, the operator or stage designer were from Poland. For example: Andrzej Sekuła (operator - Pulp Fiction, American Psycho), Allan Starski (set designer in The Pianist and Schindler’s List) Janusz Kamiński (operator - Saving Private Ryan, Lincoln) They were awarded with Oscars... they created the cult movies, without which we can not imagine the history of the cinematography.

Religiosity: it's a myth, more like a tradition. Kissing on the hand, only the older generation. Emigrants: Poland has always accepted victims of wars, and this does not apply only to Ukraine, but it is reluctant to economic emigrants who do not assimilate into society. Kulczyk does nothing for Poland, he is not popular, it's just a name. "Poles are car thieves" has not been true for many, many years. theft-related mafias were eradicated years ago. Poland did not receive reparations from Germany for World War II. They got individual citizens, not the country. Germany should pay, just as Russia will pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine. I agree with your opinion about the baby's name. Supposedly, vodka is a Polish invention ;-) despite that, it is not a favorite drink, especially of the young generation. I found out about Korean children recently, I haven't checked this information yet. (Sorry: google translate)

True, still many lost cars are found in Poland though, but mostly cause it have the eastern border of EU, much easier to smuggle out a car that way than through sea. So it's not necessarily poles that steal, only Poland happens to be in the most frequent way of smuggling cars out of EU.

Actually kissing hands is still a thing even among younger generations, it's just not THAT popular but happens

[@steamplayer2460]

I’m from Poland and had no idea about children from Korea sent to us. Vodka is totally not in my type, I hate it and know more people who share my opinion 😅 Regarding foreigners, like rest said, as long as they are working and not making pressure on us to do or don’t do something because of their culture or beliefs it’s ok. I was working with Koreans, Ukrainians, Kazakh and I like all of them. As long as you are good person you are welcome in Poland :)

Yeah, just like that, it's just rare to see immigrants from Asia or Africa on a daily basis, so people are actually more curious about them, might get looked at for a bit out of curiosity, but poles are not usually known for smiling at strangers, even at other poles, so maybe they might feel like they don't fit in before they get used to it. But when at work or university, they are usually likeable and get tons of friends for sure.

Born in Warsaw in 1909, Henryk Magnuski supported himself and his sister, Janina, by repairing radios for the Polish military. After gaining employment with the State Tele and Radiotechnical Works in 1934, the company sent him to New York to research American radio technology in 1939. In the same year, Hitler invaded Poland and Magnuski was unable to return home. Out of work, he was taken on by the Galvin Manufacturing Corporation in Chicago, which would later change its name to Motorola. Leading a team of radio engineers, they developed the SCR-300, the first radio used by American forces in Europe. This revolutionary mobile device became known amongst GIs as the "Walkie-Talkie"

The hand kissing, eee, not as popular anymore. Not as strange either, but.. tell you this: In 1937 it was the way to say hi. Now, if someone does that, it definitely stands out in the crowd.

[@Hyperdome83]

Greetings Mert. As a native POLE living in Poland, I wish to thank you so much for this reaction.👍👍👍 YES, Poland is situated in CENTRAL Europe.👏 Now, my comments on these following 15 things about Poland are as follows (in the same order, as shown in this film): 1. Well, yes. Some of those US famous actors and directors are of Polish descent. However, hardly any of them speak any Polish, I'm afraid (with the exception of Roman Polanski, that is). 😓 In fact, most of them probably do not even know where Poland is.😕 Which Polish actor/actress am I most proud of❓Probably Pola Negri.🤔 2. Max Factor was NOT founded by a Polish woman, but a Polish-Jewish man - Maksymilian Faktorowicz (MAKSymilian FAKTORowicz = Max Factor). 🤔 3. [...]There used to be a time, when a man would kiss a lady's hand, when meeting her as a sign of resepect and courtship[...]. Yes, that was about 10-20 years ago. Nowadays, some men (probably age 40+) could sometimes kiss a lady's hand usually if that lady is much older. We do NOT kiss any ladies' hands every time (usually because they would pull their hands away, right before that kiss). Kissing ladies' hands is not common amongst teenagers or friends at all, either. 4. There aren't too many African or Asian migrants here⁉ That is one of the biggest loads of crap I have ever heard. Every time I am at a Polish hospital, I can see foreign students/doctors there. Foreigners (especially students) are almost everywhere in Poland (most likely in big/medium cities). Hell, even my Customer Service ex-coworkers are from Zimbabwe and Rwanda (Africa). I definitely am open to new experiences and foreigners (if they don't enforce their religion/rules, though).🤔 Again, there are POLES (people who like foreigners) and POLLACKS (people who dislike/hate foreigners and other cultures). But, hey, nobody is perfect, right❓🙂 5. Jan Kulczyk was most probably the richest Pole, indeed. As such, his son Sebastian and daughter Dominika are well-off, too.🤔 No further comment needed, I guess. 😁 6. That car-theft is a story which could depict Poles as car-thieves - a stereotype which is absolutely out-of-date.😡 Pay no attention to it, please.🙏 7. WWII reparations⁉Here we go, again‼😰That is a very delicate and controversial topic in Poland.😱 In other words, Polish nationalists wish to get more money, whereas other Poles simply wish to forget about that nightmarish past. In this case, we are all divided. However, the end result does not seem to be coming soon. 8. Well, the cases of Korean juvenile migrants seem to be true.🤔 9. No source of information provided. As such, I cannot confirm or deny information on that drug screening application. In fact, I have never come across it before.🤔 10. YES, it is true‼ We are so proud to have Malbork within our Polish borders‼✌ 11. Milk bars are more like "greasy spoons" than restaurants. Yes, milk bars offer inexpensive dishes, but it does NOT blow me away at all (those dishes sometimes taste like hospital food)‼❌👎 12. Yes, we do have sand dunes in the north of Poland.👍✌ However, a vast majority of seashore dunes are restricted areas (due to high fragility). As such, people CANNOT walk probably on any seashore dune here. 13. Yes, it is true.👍 Polka dance comes from Check Republic. As for Polka dots, I am unsure. 🤔🤔🤔 14. Yes, it is true. There are limitations, when it comes to naming your children in Poland.😕 The weirdest Polish name❓I would say DEZYDERIUSZ (male).😂 15. I am NOT sure about the existence of that limited edition of Belvedere vodka at all. But, guess what⁉I don't drink alcohol, so what do I know.🤪 Well, that would be it, I guess. 😁 Mert, once again, thank you for uploading this film. 👍 I am open for any comments. 🙂

I personally think that beer is more popular than vodka in Poland. Vodka is more of a special occasion/celebration drink. It goes like this: birthday - shots of vodka for everyone; wedding - time for vodka people!; weekend/ a casual outing with friends - beer, usually lots of beer

It is more a generation issue. Younger generations preference lean towards beer, wine, cider and other softer drink, while older generations preference is mostly vodka. Also poorer people tends to buy cheeper vodka, as it gives them more "kick" then beer.

Maksymilian Faktorowicz best known as Max Factor Sr. "Father of modern cosmetics". He was a man, not a women. Unless he made a move like Brothers Wachowski, of polish descent, that become trans women. Tadeusz Kościuszko was an engineer in Continental army under Washington command. He designed and built fortifications in Saratoga and Westpoint. Also from the period of Revolutionary War/American Rebellion was Kazimierz Pułaski also known as "Father of US cavalry" Actually you can go to wikipedia and look at List_of_Polish_Americans, when you can find such names as those: Adrien Brody is half polish. Nicolas Cage, Steve Carell, Anne Dudek, Jared Padalecki, Gwyneth Paltrow (her grandfather's name was Paltrowicz), Meg Ryan (Margaret Hyra)... and a lot more Even the roots of Hollywood are Polish: Samuel Goldwyn was of Polish-jewish descent, as well as Warner brothers.

Ppl dont seem to get that Poland has always been issuing the most work permits to foreigners in Europe. Nobody cares about what you look like, but if you dont learn the lingo you can go back once your contract is over. It's actually nobody wanting to learn it that's causing people to be there only as guests. Foreign expertise is as valued as It's been in the "metling pot" periods in XVI century, but you really can't come into a country and try to change it to suit your preferences. Poles respect their guests, and expect to be respected back. I think the main issue is taking history as starting in ww2 amd ending in 1990. Our interactions from the past would explain a lot about Poland now, and also the fact that Poles look to the future trying to figure out how to survive and develop their country knowing how it can go based on previous experiences. : )

I'm from Poland. I mostly welcome migrants which willing to work, educate or suffering war crisis. Migrants, with liberal culture, or with culture not forcing them rights for majority. I also was a migrant in the UK (maybe come back to work there) and I'm very thankfull for the chance of studing and working in the other country. I know how important is the flow of human force, ideas, points of view, and I have also friends from other countries. In Poland I was a member of organisation which helped young volunteers to make their projects in Poland, and it was a great fun. But I also see the risk if migration is uncontrolled and social benefits are to easy to gain. Many people from less developed country want easy life with no cost, and something like this can not be possible. In Poland and anywhere. Being straight: I welcome migrants, not welcome parasites, and never want to be a parasite to.

We have a lot immigrants but it is usually from Ukraine and countries near us. We don’t have many social benefits so people coming here are coming for work or universities.

We will not be racist or disrespectful because you have other religion, beliefs etc but if it would change our lifes for worst we will not except that- for example men in Poland usually highly protective towards women, and few days ago few immigrants tried to molest young women in public swimming pool. Men was so furious that security was forced to protect those individuals before police come because it could go very bad for them. But if you respect our culture and laws you are welcome.

The astronomical model known as Heliocentrism, was created by a Pole born in Tourn, Poland. Mikołaj Kopernik created this model in which he establishes that the sun is the center of the Solar System and that the Earth and the other planets revolve around the Sun! Definitely Mikołaj Kopernik changed the history of the world! For the record this is not an invention… but it was worth to add it! :)

the migrant point is true in small towns etc. in larger cities- not really. in Warsaw for example we have a pretty large Vietnamese minority and some African descent people - there are of course some people that we don't associate with who are racially intolerant but generally in most cities there are no major racial tensions

[@themeanmachine84]

@@domicelabury4560 well I can tell you we have quite many immigrants, but it depends on the perspective. Cause if you look at it from lets say US, French or UK perspective then yes, not many immigrants in Poland. But when you look at it from where we were 50 years and now - we have quite many. So it depends on point of view. I can tell you that in the city I live in (center of Silesia) you can find quite many immigrants, and not just from Europe.

Patek Philippe a Swiss luxury watch and clock manufacturer, located in the Canton of Geneva and the Vallée de Joux Established in 1839, it is named after two of its founders, Antoni Patek and Adrien Philippe. Antoni Norbert Patek (French: Antoine Norbert de Patek; 14 June 1812 - 1 March 1877) was a Polish pioneer in watchmaking and the creator of Swiss watchmaker company Patek Philippe & Co., as well as a Polish independence fighter and political activist.

[@micha9328]

Nr. 7 In 1953, under pressure from the Soviet Union, Poland renounced its reparations claims. Furthermore, during the period between 1946 and 1953, all the resources and financial assistance received by Poland were essentially funneled back to the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union used these funds to purchase coal from Poland at a mere 10% of its actual market value, effectively exploiting Poland's resources. Additionally, the communist authorities in Poland imposed restrictions on selling coal to Western countries at its true market price. As a result, Poland neither received reparations from Germany nor benefited from the Marshall Plan. Instead, it found itself entangled in a complex economic relationship with the Soviet Union, where the majority of its resources were redirected to serve Soviet interests, ultimately limiting Poland's economic autonomy and international partnerships.

There are a lot more actors from PL in industry. However my favourite so far is Cezary Pazura which isnt so well known outside PL. Foreignners are most welclme in Poland, but they need to respect us and carry themselves properly. Actually we have some redheads for whom anyone outside theirs patological semi criminal circles is enemy, but i wouldn't consider it xenophobic... One thing i need to admit - when black man are in ours proximity you we double and triple checking our stuff. Around woman that isn't the case. Germany reparations topic is more like strike back from PL impitchment and hostile dumping on eu markets than priority case on its own. Poles were willing to leave that behind, but "progressive" germans have no shame. Ger actually playing gaslighting game wiredly similar and convergent to russian key milestones.

First of all, Hollywood actresses or actors or well-known beauty entrepreneurs are of Polish-Jewish ancestors. For instance, Gwyneth Paltrow’s great-grandfather was a rabbi in Poland before the WWII, Scarlet Johanson’s ancestors were Jews from Poland. Many of them emigrated to the US to protect themselves from the threat of war.

As a guy from Poland, living there my entire life. We don't care what skin color or religion you are, we welcome people who want to work in our country and who respects our culture. The only thing that triggers Polish people is when someone tell us that he is better because of something. Also not many immigrats ? We have 2mln Ukrainians before war and now even more, there are also a lot of Asians, Africans, Arabs and people from India especially near medical schools, i know that cuz i have one like 1km from my home and there is likely 50/50 foreigners to Polish people ratio. About Vodko, in my family vodka is only present in some big family events, especially weddings, sometimes anniversaries. Also by default we have super high alcohol tolerance and we don't consider beer as an alcohol.

[@TheRezro]

Regard migrants. Contrary to some opinions, Poles are actually quite tolerant. But at the same time, my country my rule mentality is quite important. Generally if someone do not disturb local peace, he would be welcomed.

Hi. In Poland, we don't often kiss hands, it's more of a gesture for show. The film did not mention any characteristic of Poles - we are very stubborn and feisty depending on the situation. There are a lot of patriots in our country, and as for Catholics, most of them are elderly people who besiege churches. There are not many immigrants in Poland and many tourists praise the fact that we have clean streets. As for the world wars, a lot of artistic works were taken away from our country. Additionally, during the war we were so stubborn that we recorded many uprisings and victories in our history. There are a lot of films and if you want to see it, watch Squadron 303 or read the book because they show how we beat the enemy.

To clarify- No we do NOT kiss hand I personally don't know single person doing it. we don't look weird at colour ppl just some small villages perhaps but Big cities -certainly not. War reparations are kinda hard to talk about in few words but point is- Either you pay us for what you did or don't talk how we should run our country Milk bars (were) are just pubs where you can mainly drink alcohol, it's hard to find them anymore because they are residue after communist times and finally YES we do have pricy Vodka's.

[@JanKowalski-rd7yb]

There's LOTS of Hollywood actors, actresses and even producers, who have polish heritage somewhere down the line. Samuel Goldwyn was born in Warsaw, Warner Brothers original name was Wonsal (or Wrona, according to some sources), they were born in Krasnodzielec, near Warsaw. Lots of American celebrities are polish Jews, who emigrated at some point in history. Charles Bronson's father was polish - more specifically he was polish Lipka Tatar. Lipka Tatars are also called "lithuanian-polish" Tatars; they are Turkic ethnic group, who settled down in Poland and defended the country when needed as any other Pole. There's still minority of Lipkas living in Poland. Wachowski brothers (now, erm, sisters), "The Matrix" films writers and directors have polish father. Gwyneth Paltrow (her grandfather's name was Paltrowicz) or Natalie Portman also have some polish roots. Yvonne Strahovski (real name: Yvonne Jacqueline Strzechowski) actually speaks some polish. Then, there's a lot of polish scientists and inventors; sadly many either remain unknown to most people, or their work was appropriated by others (like former Soviet Union). Ignacy Łukasiewicz is known as inventor of oil lamp, but mostly he was a pioneer, when it comes to distillation of natural oil. Stanisław Ulam was polish mathematician, who worked with the Manhattan Project, in order to create H bomb. When we talk about mathematicians, the Enigma code was cracked for the first time by polish mathematicians, working at Cipher Bureau in Pałac Saski, Warsaw, in December of 1932 (or January of next year). Sure, the efforts against nazi Germany were joined, but it bugs me, when some Hollywood films show as if acquiring Enigma and breaking the code was all British... Also, it annoys me as hell, when I see some Hollywood films about scientific work on radioactivity, and all I hear is "Marie Curie". Lots of people actually think she was french, because of this. Maria Skłodowska-Curie was polish, her husband, Pierre Curie was french, and they were both working together. The element "polonium" is named after Poland ("Polonia" in Latin), while "curium" is named after Pierre Curie. Method of growing monocrystals was discovered by Jan Czochralski - this leads to mass semiconductor production, hence he's sometimes called "the father of electronics". He's also invented a radio microscope - which was later used to create scanning electron microscope (SEM), used today. Poles also invented... a car (as in: personal automobile - Józef Bożek created first steam-powered vehicle) and car windshield wipers (Józef Hoffmann, he was actually a musician and invented several other things). Henryk Magnuski had major part (three different patents) in creating portable communications radio (walkie-talkie). He worked for Galvin Manufacturing Corporation, which was later known as Motorola... One of the most famous watchmaking brands in the world - Patek Philippe - was established by polish watchmaker Antoni Patek and french horologist and engineer Adrien Philippe (who designed watch mechanism wound by a crown). From more recent history - polish astronomer, Aleksander Wolszczan, together with canadian Dale Frail discovered first exasolar planets (planets outside of our solar system). Wolszczan and other polish astronomers also invented what is called "mass planet discovery method", which allows to discover other planetary systems in universe much faster and more accurately, than when using previous methods. I could go on, but in short - even Poles sometimes are not aware, that we've got nothing to be ashamed of as a nation. Sure, times of trouble like the communist occupation period meant we were looking up to the "West", but we have our own integrity. Poland was historically one of the most open countries, when it comes to other nations and religions - that's why there were so many Jews in Poland before WWII, that's why we have still Lipkas (who are muslims), although majority of Poles are catholics, so we're not THAT homogenous. If you are - for example - black, and people look after you on the street, it's not that Poles are "racist". It's just that seeing black person in Poland is like for others seeing a lion or panda freeroaming the crowded city center - it's just highly unusual for our parts, especially for older people. Younger people are more used to seeing people of other races, because of exchange, that's going on at universities, so they often live together with people from all around of the world. One of my english teachers was black, and my old pal used to party with his sons... Personally, I'm working every day with Germans, Hungarians, Bulgarians, Turks, and while sometimes there's a language barrier, it feels like we're all the same - there were never any "international incidents" between us.

Basically, it's all because of emigration of Poles due to horrible geographical placement of our country, which always made it in history a fat prize for more powerful, surrounding countries... So people leave looking either for shelter from war for their children, or simple for better life, away from poverty and politics.
