‘In the defence of the “boys” of Pomerania’
We request a good confession...
Referring to the letter from Mrs Stefania Koziarowska entitled “In the defence of the boys from Pomerania” (ANGORA nr. 3), I let myself to mention to it and extend it to the subject, unfortunately, very unpopular in Poland. It concerns not only the pre-war area of Pomerania, but besides advanced Silesia and all pre-war areas of Poland inhabited by descendants of German colonists who for centuries came to Poland.
During planet War II, the Nazis considered them Germans and forced them not only to service in the Wehrmacht, but besides to sign the German National List, the alleged Folkslist, under threat of sending (often with their family) to the concentration camp. In order to avoid repression, e.g. in advanced Silesia, Bishop Adamski urged those at hazard to sign the Folkslist. And quite a few people did. Among them were those who destroyed Poles, but there were besides specified volksdeutsche, who helped Poles in various ways, saving their lives and frequently protecting them from dispatch to concentration camps.
Unfortunately, since 1944 the authorities in Poland have imprisoned many people of German nationality, as well as those who signed the Folkslist. In these camps were imprisoned, among others, volksdeutsche, who were to undergo rehabilitation proceedings before the court, during which they were either found guilty towards the Polish people and sentenced to imprisonment, or were cleared of charges and released. Many did not see the trial due to the fact that the conditions for the Germans in these camps were very hard and many people died due to insufficient nutrition, deficiency of medical care and the very bad treatment of them by camp guards. The proceedings of those who died before the court proceeding in the peculiar Criminal Courts were overturned.
As I wrote, among the volksdeutsch were many who helped Poles. These are the facts recorded in the interrogation protocols of both the volksdeutschs themselves and in witness statements (e.g. neighbors) proving in their favour at the Public safety Office during investigations. These files can be found at the Institute of National Memory. In relation to volksdeutschs helping Poles during the war, and thus acting to the detriment of the 3rd Reich – who died in labour camps before the court proceeding – there is presently no anticipation to conduct rehabilitation proceedings. I think it is unfair and hurtful for those people (and their families) who, due to their German background, were forced by the Nazis to sign the German National List, but due to the fact that they did not harm Poles, they did not flee to the West with the retreating Wehrmacht due to the fact that they felt that if they did nothing wrong, they did not gotta fear for their safety.
Unfortunately, after the war, they were imprisoned and many of them were not rehabilitated. And now their descendants cannot ask for justice, due to the fact that there is simply a legal loophole that makes it impossible to search rehabilitation of a German individual imprisoned after planet War II in a labour camp that died before legal proceedings. I am amazed that Members and Members of the Sejm from Silesia do not rise the above issues in order to decently supplement the existing law in Poland. Similarly, I am amazed by the silence of the Evangelical communities. And that is what an simple sense of justice requires. Hitlerists during the war did terrible crimes to Poles and Jews, qualified legally as crimes against humanity, but, unfortunately, after the end of the war, both nations frequently rematched innocent people of German origin. Unfortunately, Germany, Poles and Jews are nations who request good confession. And this cannot be done without recognizing its own faults, sincere regret for it, a strong determination to improve and make amends. You cannot be ruthless guards, for whom the notion of compassion, pity, humility, sin, or the request to make amends for the guilt is incomprehensible and alien.
It was only now that I understood why in 1966 Polish bishops spoke, years after the end of planet War II, with a message to German bishops, which included the sentence: “We forgive and ask for forgiveness”, which sparked the rage of the then Polish authorities. Now I realize the point of this appeal. Yours sincerely. JUSTICE
"Documents deny"
Jaruzelski – a hero or a traitor?
In issue 50/2025, ANGORY printed my letter entitled "The State of War" in which I stated that Jaruzelski was a hero and Mr.Kukliński a traitor to his homeland. I was certain my opinion would be wrong, and I wasn't wrong. In ANGORE No. 4 Mr. Sławomir in his letter entitled "Documents deny" presented his version of the events and his assessment was contrary – Jaruzelski was the traitor, and Kukliński was the hero, which he tried to prove by giving a number of justifications and "if they were facts". I write: as if it were facts, due to the fact that papers revealed by Vladimir Bukowski that the Russians did not plan to intervene in Poland, I accept as a farce.
If Hitler had been asked after the war if he wanted a war with Poland, he would surely have ruled that he did not, only... it happened. However, arguments about the change of power in the russian Union and the ongoing war in Afghanistan are the real reason why the intervention did not occur. Here I want to emphasise that at this 1 point in our history, Poles over all divisions have exploited the situation and liberated themselves from the care of our large neighbours. And praise them for that! Finally, I will mention to Jaruzelski's view that Jaruzelski's discussion with the opposition forced both the country's disastrous economical situation and geopolitical conditions. surely not!
In North Korea today, where the tyrant Kim Jong Un rules, is the economical situation good, or does Lukashenko care if his citizens have something to eat? surely not! What? The planet condemned them, and they regulation with a stick, while the remainder of them watch and do nothing. So much politics. I wanted to thank you, Mr. Sławomir. I read your letter with admiration due to the fact that present it is highly uncommon to discuss, exchange views culturally. I know I didn't convince you, and you didn't convince me, but I'm going to keep this letter as a relic of the past, erstwhile people, even if they disagreed, were able to talk to each another and even keep respect for each other. GENERAL AUTHORITY
I moved “Angora”
Every Monday, I start, and, of course, from pushing my favourite weekly. “Angora” has respective advantages, and 1 of them is simply a very expressive, highly bold and current cover. Yesterday it happened, present it is on the front page – this has been the regulation for years. The second advantage is to show up on Monday, which ensures reading for a full week. I read everything within a week but “Angora”, although sometimes the jokes there will interest me too. I'm looking into number four. Cover, as usual, current and shocking. I know that no power, no authority, no authority, no religion, will give its privileges without revolution.
I am reasoning that even the immunity that is universally abominable, our parliamentarians will not quit voluntarily. Just look at what's going on about Ziebra's wage or any another associate of this thieving package. How can he be an MP and collect a wage from individual who has fled abroad? This case should be done 1 day. It most likely doesn't take a revolution or a fratricidal fight, as in Iran. By the way, I always wonder where the defenders of specified a government come from. It is said, “Chameini this, Chamenei that”, and yet its persistence is due to the fact that there are thousands of faithful servants to him who are willing to beat and kill to keep the government going. I believe that the revolution in Iran will not halt and knock the tyrants off the pedestal.
As I tend to do, after seeing the cover (and the alternate ones) – very frequently to change the temper – I look at the last page of “Angora”. present I find equally current topics, more Polish, though a small Polish-Hungarian. And how to halt being nervous! The only way – and I do it next – is to search for pages with jokes, anecdotes and suchars, which takes me back to the beginning of the number. However, the humor definitely improves. So I'm going from the beginning. The “photoplastycon” is all over the red carpet this time, so I can admire the creations of ever-young ladies and inactive handsome gentlemen in little elaborate than in ladies' clothing.
It is time to see what the commentators wrote: Skiba, Martenko, Pietras, Cucumber, and Andrus. The reading will come later. In search of interesting content you gotta fly further. For Trump, on his ultimatum about leaving NATO, in case he doesn't get Greenland, I have 1 answer: "Get out". And a contact of arms. That's not the kind of thing people say in intellectual institutions so I can take words like that seriously. There is inactive much in “Angora” about Ziobrze. It's a peculiar creature, so it deserves a place in a reading magazine. Like the second infamous "hero" of the last time, or Holownia. Not to mention reading a text about the kibboli king, a man named Nawrock.
It's inactive a small bit softer, although the text “The movie of porn” raises force again. It's not healthy. Just a fewer more insignificant titles of information and I can dedicate myself to the first text, where I have always stayed for longer, or "criminal mystery". Seeing that it is almost 900th mystery, I wonder how much time I spent reading texts by Mr Wojciech Chądzyński and then reasoning about the solution. I am 1 of the enthusiasts of specified riddles and I have already solved them in the "cross". I read, I know – in my opinion – the solution, so I gotta go on, much further. Now I'm going to go over the "People Letters Write" section. I read letters in which the views expressed "...are not always consistent with the views of the editorial board" and mine, so I choose those that deserve a possible polemic. But this will be the next letter. ANDRZEJ WELCOME
Monopolys
Fear and fear live the people of half the world, troubled by the actions of U.S. president D. Trump. After the resurrection of Monroe’s 19th century doctrine with its simultaneous update to Donroe’s doctrine, its message reads: “No 1 else will question American dominance in the Western Hemisphere” and more that “The Western Hemisphere is ours.” With this sick reasoning, it becomes clear that the US will regulation Venezuela after the kidnapping and removal of the forger of the presidential election in this country.
After Venezuela, where D. Trump invested in the world's largest oil reserves, fear hangs over Greenland – an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, which he threatens to take in a peaceful or forceful way, as he is said to have been surrounded by Chinese and Russian ships ready to occupy the island. Putting NATO's future and relations with the West at stake, he says that he "does not request global law". With the bare eye, you can see that it drools for the hydrocarbons, uncommon earths, and uranium, and all this water spray with the protection of U.S. territory is just a pretext.
The Prime Minister of Canada cannot sleep peacefully, fondly named by D. Trump as politician (another U.S. state), due to the fact that the geographical location between Alaska and Greenland, from a strategical point of view, until he shouts (the Trump voice) about the implementation of the previously suggested liquidation imagination moving across the continent of the border. After the annexation of Greenland to the anschluss of Canada, the law will besides not be essential to D. Trump. The "Law" itself is the "US National safety Strategy", the translation of which means "restore American dominance in the Western Hemisphere and defend homeland and access to key geographical areas throughout the region".
The safety scam maskes the actual needs of the United States, which present stems from the Mendelev board, and the common denominator of this greed is natural resources. The legal situation becomes as irrational as in a dream, so I will let myself a small surrealism. In my imagination, I see D. Trump as Uncle Scrooge playing the game Monopoly, where players trade states, building, buying and selling their property. At the table there are still: tsar of Russia – heir of communism – W. Putin and chief communist of China – Xi Jinping. The goal is to bring all another players to bankruptcy. By global law – I'm sorry – Uncle Scrooge throws his ankle.
In Monopoly, Uncle will absorb half of Mexico, decision the U.S. and Central American border to the tropics of Cancer, the Gulf of Mexico will be American, and his continent of North America Uncle Scrooge will name Trump land. Is it only possible in a dream and can global law have in d... just throwing an ankle? specified a question is besides raised by the citizens of the east Hemisphere, not knowing whether the global law will fit in there... yet their president or prime minister, seeking the interest of a benefactor. What will D. Trump give up, what and who will he force, what will vassalize, and what will let China and Russia?
The fact that the game is about the natural resources of the Arctic, whose legal position is not full regulated, has already been notified by the president of the United States. What else is on the table covered with a tablecloth? erstwhile will D. Trump let another player throw his dice and who will? JANUSZ G.
Brown or black?
Holy Mountain has seen a lot in its history. First of all, millions of pilgrims who came there for spiritual experiences – with thanks or with hope, frequently even in very circumstantial matters. She besides saw popes, kings, presidents, invaders, generals, and even Hans Frank. The second Paulini accepted during the war without enthusiasm and – which seems peculiarly instructive present – without making this event an identity happening. There were no photographs, banners, or stories of “historical meeting”. It wasn't even rac. There was an occupier, there was a necessity, there was a shameful episode that best stayed silent. In the past, the Church knew erstwhile silence was a virtue. Today, apparently, that cognition is over...
The visit of the President-in-Office to Jasna Góra in the company of kibbola shows how much the knowing of sacrum has changed. The leaders of the PRL stayed distant from this place – and thanks to this the Church gained authority. He was independent, he was ‘in a different place’, a mention point, not a decoration. present Jasna Góra is increasingly like an event scene. Since the regulation of the Law and Justice, the Church's relation with politics has ceased to be a subtle half-shadow game, and it has become an official, almost Facebook relationship. We remember the dance of the politicians of this organization under the monastery, speeches that sounded like organization exposés and services, from which until the current politics dripped. All that was missing was confetti. On this background, the presence of kiboli is only a logical complement of the image.
If Jasna Gora is to be a place of manifestation of “ours”, why not invitation the environments that made the manifestation a lifestyle? If the sacrum is to legitimize politics, let it do so in full line – with flags, slogans and rac binding. In the context of president Nawrocki's fresh visit to Jasna Góra, knowing him not entirely – notabene – a clear past, 1 can ask who – what group – will be next? Who will the president welcome to his celebrated “Hello”? Nationals? Escapers in Hungary? Or do you think it's an old-timer? Especially the second would most likely be a large group.
The church, which erstwhile did not request power to be strong, present looks like 1 who cannot function without it. And the communicative – besides the Jasna Góra 1 – teaches that erstwhile the altar comes besides close to the throne, sooner or later individual will ask who truly serves who here. And the answer is seldom upbuilding. And it is not an argument to answer that everyone has the right to come to pray. It's a place like this. Pray so, manifest your views, especially as in the case of kibboli, having nothing to do with the teaching of the Church, definitely not. Is Jasna Góra not brown or even black? WASZKIWICZ NARCIZ
Gross.
I'm my age, but I don't remember always utilizing that term. Turns out there's a time for everything. Unfortunately. Gross No. 1 – The president and his Palace. What's happening there has small to do with average presidency. Veto for veto, on all occasion the president has an opinion. This kind of behaviour is simply a kind of curiosium.
The apparent situation – there is no cooperation with the government. I feel sorry for Tusk, for all representatives of the Polish government. No 1 expected veto for veto, we expected better or worse cooperation between both organs. Today, unfortunately, there is none. besides bad, besides bad. Gross No. 2 – A political organization called the Law and Justice. It's kind of like calling criminals the hope of a nation. What can Kaczyński and his squad gotta do with law and justice?
Nothing at all, it's hard to disagree with. They do what they want – in the interests of members and possibly sympathizers of the party. And they hope from 2027 they will regulation again. Let us remind – the old Polish proverb says whose parent is hope. Gross No. 3 – Grzegorz Braun and his team. It's truly a shame to compose about it – but unfortunately, it has many sympathizers. What's driving them? I don't know. For example, I do not agree with Mr Bosak and Mr Mentzen's views – but they are average politicians with whom to agree or not, but which should be treated normally, with due respect. But how do you treat Mr. Braun? I complained, complained... And for the Editorial ANGORY – want you all the best. KRZYSZTOF WASNIEWSKI
