Regermanisation
I was born in Krakow, and my roots scope Radomska. erstwhile I was a year old, my parents moved to Babimostu – a town that belonged to Germany before the war.

Twenty years after the end of the war, I began my education there. In my class, 1 3rd of the children were German. They went to compensatory classes in Polish due to the fact that they spoke German to their parents and grandparents at home.
For me, it was completely natural – we played together, visited homes, shared everyday life.
I rapidly realized that we – Poles – were visitors there. They were at home.
My friendships never came from nationality. We shared sympathy, common interests, common knowing and respect. I inactive keep in contact with my colleagues, regardless of their origin.
I remember that at the time on tv there was a tv show called 4 Armours and a dog in which all good German was a dead German. But in my class I had large friends with German roots. To a child, it was pure paranoia and lying. The show only saved “Poli Raksy face”.
In the eighth grade I went with my friends in the surrounding villages and asked older people what the relations between Poles and Germans truly looked like before the war. I wanted to understand. I even wrote a paper about it that was later published. The locals' stories indicated that people lived together in harmony. There were mixed marriages, the Polish school operated. Only erstwhile the power in Babimosta took over the NSDAP – imposed from outside – did bad things happen. It was the Nazis' fault, not all the Germans.
That is why, erstwhile I hear Kaczyński's speech present about “regermanization”, I see a pure madness in this.
Madness, erstwhile a PiS MP according to the organization line spits on Germans, makes them the main enemy of Poland — yet his own parent was German. It looks like a grim theatre, grotesque hypocrisy. This is evident from the spirit of Pawlik Morozov, a boy who, in the name of loyalty to ideology, cut off from his own roots.

There are no evil nations. There are only bad people.
