Great video. Another heroes that come to my mind: 1. Witold Pilecki - volunteer to Auschwitz, incredible man, amazing story. As a member of Polish Underground Army AK, he volunteered to Auschwitz, gathered the informations and managed to escape, giving his reports to the outside world about cruelty beyond anyone's imagination. 2. Jan III Sobieski - polish noble that was elected for king, the one that led hussars defending Viena in 1863. His whole life was amazing and very interesting. 3. Stanisława Leszczyńska - midwife in Auschwitz, amazing woman. There is a book "Położna w Auschwitz" - her memoir. It's mindblowing. This lady is considered "blessed" by catholic church today. You have to read the book. I've heard about movie about her but I haven't watch it yet. 4. Ferdynand Ossendowski and his books. There's more of course but I find theese particular people exceptionaly interesting.
interesting list, as chemist I love the way you started. Maria was incredible, opened high education and research to women around the world. As a man, I cannot emphasise enough how much I admire her work ethics, breaking boundaries and remaining a woman, mother and becoming a living icon. Please never forget her daughters: Irene and her husband got Nobel price in chemistry too, and second daughter’s husband got Piece Nobel price. 5 Nobels!!! For me the most overlooked Polish scientists that changed planet earth and the way people lived and still live is pharmacists, engineer and inventor Ignacy Łukaszewicz. His impact is comparable with Alfred Nobel. Ignacy invented modern oil rafination, kerosene and kerosene lamp. Still today kerosene lamps are used by millions of people around the world where electricity is a challenge. He lit the night for the globe, allowing better and safer illumination than candles.
Ignacy Łukaszewicz . . . invented modern oil rafination, kerosene and kerosene lamp. And in so doing saved the whale. At least the sperm whale, which was being hunted recklessly for its oil which was used for illumination.
O yes Czochralski is known in the world but not so many know that he was Polish. His method is used everywhere to obtain monocrystals of semiconductor materials. Unfortunately he has been persecuted in communist Poland and lost his position as a professor at Warsaw Polytechnic. He died of heart attack shortly after last incursion of the communist secret service at his home. Communists hated him so much that it was forbidden to mention to the students that Czochralski was of the Polish nationality. I tell you that from my own experience. I studied Electronics Technology at Warsaw Politechnic ( Warsaw Technical University). We asked our lecturer if Czochralski was Polish and we haven't got any positive response.
I was named after him, and when ever the question is asked if I would ever change my name, I reply that if given the choice, I would not, because there is no better name than his and there is no name I would be more proud to have.
it's so sad that many of those heroes came out in the time of war. in the same time it's really hearth-warming that many people find courage to do such an amazing things for other people. check out Stanisława Leszczyńska. she was Polish nurse that helped pregnant women in Auschwitz concentration camp to deliver as many babies as she could even though she knew many will not survive the camp. amazing woman that knew how precious human life is...
Yes Sosabowski commander of the Polish Airborne Brigade in Arnhem was a hero. I would add there gen Maczek commander of Polish Armoured Dicvision. Particularily distiguished at battle of Falaise
- Tadeusz Kościuszko a Polish officer and engineer, highly contributed to the victory of the Americans in The Battle of Saratoga 1777, which led to the support of the American War of Independence by the French and ultimately to the creation of the United States of America. - Ignacy Łukasiewicz in 1852 develops the process of crude oil Refining, the invention of kerosene, the first step to the creation of fuel and modern cars. - Kazimierz Funk in 1912, the discovery of vitamins, . - Stefan Drzewiecki in 1887 describes the Modern Theory of Flight, Aerodynamics, helicopter propeller, and mathematical methods for determining ship propellers. The Wright brothers relied on his books when building the first plane. - Nicolaus Copernicus (pl.: Mikołaj Kopernik) in 1543 proved that the earth orbits the sun, the Heliocentrism. - Aleksander Wolszczan in 1992 discoverer of the first planets outside the solar system and methods of their detection. - Konstantin Ciołkowski in 1923 formulated the theory of the motion of multistage rockets in the Earth's gravitational field. - Benedictus Polonus in 1247 trip to the capital of the Mongol Empire a decade before Marco Polo (1266).
@@ScottA2345 All of the above-mentioned Poles also had other merits, Copernicus had achievements in economics, Stefan Drzewiecik created the first electric submarine, Ignacy Łukasiewicz built the first oil drilling well ... I only mentioned those achievements that influenced the fate of the world or made some scientific breakthrough. These are not all Poles with merits for humanity, it would be appropriate for me to mention many more inventions and achievements: bulletproof vest, mine detector, walkie-talkie, Apollo lunar rover, periscope, modern wipers, first handheld film camera, monocrystals production method (a necessary element of electronics).. I also omitted many Poles who showed great courage in times of war, it would take a long time to tell their stories.
When it comes to self-sacrifice, the unattainable ideal is a Polish Catholic priest, Maximilian Kolbe, who volunteered to get starved to death in place of a fellow prisoner at the Auschwitz death camp. German prison guards considered starving to death to be the ultimate atrocity and punishment and could not comprehend that anyone would volunteer to die this kind of death to save a fellow human being only because he had children to live for. After Maximilian Kolbe’s death, Germans stopped starving death camp prisoners to death. He deprived them of satisfaction from killing people this way. Dr. Janusz Korczak also sacrificed his life and glory to him for this. However, I think that it’s easier to die for innocent children than for a grown up ‘sinful’ man. It takes what very very few people have. I know that I don’t.
Thank you very much for this video, I cried. I join the request of others..Pilecki i Generał Nil, Inka(there is a beautiful movie about Nil and Inka). Thank you ♥️
Skłodowska nie zmarła z powodu pracy z Radem i Polonem. Zmarła dlatego, że gdy wybuchła I wojna światowa, robiła prześwietlenia rentgenowskie rannych żołnierzy, zmarła z tego powodu. Nie znano jeszcze skutków promieniowanie rentgenowskiego a Skłodowska robiła to w warunkach wojennych bez osłon i zabezpieczeń, to ją zabiło.
Polska ma właśnie teraz tysiące bohaterów, których nazwisk prawdopodobnie nigdy nie poznamy. Poświęcają wszystko, żeby pomóc ludziom, którzy wszystko stracili.
When you talk about Korczak, it would be nice to recognize his closest coworker - Stefania Wilczyńska. She managed the orphanage when Korczak was in the military. She also was sent to Treblinka, with children and Korczak, after refusing the option to avoid it.
First of all thanks for making this video👍 (from 0 to tears rolling in matter of seconds...) Secondly, im so glad you talk about Enigma breakers. Seems like nobody is aware of the truth 😕
When we said about 1939 and defenders of Westerplatte we should remember another battle - Wizna. Less than 1000 Polish soldiers stopped over 40000 germans. This battle is called "Polish Thermophiles"
Love this channel and ur videos! I started learning about polish history more as a way to reconnect with my roots as a pole growing up in another country. I read up on Marie Curie, the Enigma Code, war heroes etc and realized a lot of it, like the enigma code, isn't well known at all. It makes me really happy to see someone spreading the history and culture in such an entertaining way. Keep up the great work! :))
Marie Skłodowska Curie is still the *only* person to win Nobel Prize in two different *science* fields (that is not science/peace combo, as Pauling, or two times the same science, as Bardeen and Sanger). Curie family is also the only family to get 4 Nobel Prizes over 2 generations: * Physics (Marie & Peter, this is counted as 2 for the family), Chemistry (Marie) * Chemistry (Irene & Frederic Joliot - daughter with husband, this for whatever reason is counted as one for family) Additionally, there is an "honorary" 5th Nobel, a Peace for Henry Richardson Labouisse, privately a husband of Eve, second daughter of Marie. Eve jokingly said she is a disgrace to the family - her parents won Nobel, her sister did, her husband did - only she didn't.
Names which came immediately to my mind are Tadeusz Kościuszko and Witold Pilecki. Not so many Americans know that their famous West Point military school is in the fortress built by Kościuszko.
The saddest and the most taboo part of Pilecki's death is the fact that his persecutors were never punished for their court-murder on a war hero. Some of them lived in Poland and took huge retirement pensions until death. Some other escaped to Israel where they were protected from the Polish law after communism era, lived in wealth, and died in old age without ever being harassed or disturbed by anyone. Sad but true..
The lead prosecutor in Pilecki's case, Czesław Łapiński, while indeed never punished for his crimes, died of cancer at the age of 92 at the Maria Sklodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology... located right next to Witold Pilecki's street. He never got what he deserved, but I hope he at least saw the sad irony of this.
Great work! It is so nice to see the results of "cooperation" between all of us "tipsters" becoming so to speak part of your research dept LOL. You gave us feeling that we contributed in some way to your work. Your group of followers becomes already a legion... Thanks, and we wait for the next episodes!
responding to your request to suggest heroes for the next episode. i think i found some heroes. I split it into military commander political leader military man scientist spiritual Stanisław Maczek -General of the armored brigade, it was because of him that the Germans called us Poles black devils Roman Dmowski- quite opaque figure, often considered a fascist, but his contribution to the rebirth of Poland after World War I should be noted. He is considered one of the founding fathers of Poland Władysław Raginis -He died in the battle of Wizna. Thanks to his sacrifice, the Warsaw army could defend itself longer. He is an example of the honor of a soldier Jan Józef Ignacy Łukasiewicz- creator of the kerosene lamp. the first oil tycoon in Poland. Probably thanks to him he got rich Rockefeller Maksymilian Maria Kolbe -he voluntarily chose to starve to death in exchange for another prisoner of the German Auschwitz extermination camp
The very first person I thought about was Witold Pilecki and the second one, my father's unle, Antoni Czortek. But there are many more worth mentioning.
Very interesting, you are right, these names are not common knowledge. Thank you for making this. Who do I think should be added to your hero list? Well, their names are many, but members of the Polish GROM. I’m friends with a retired GROM soldier, now author. That’s how I know about them. ❤️
I learned new ones from this video. I already knew about Jan Sobieski II, Casmir Pulaski, Witold Pilecki and Woytek the bear but the list just keeps growing. Love to Poland.
Polacy tak mówią i generalnie nie ma w tym nic złego. Ale Maria Skłodowska vel Maria Curie nigdy nie używała podwójnego nazwiska. Po prostu w takim zapisie my Polacy podkreślamy jej polskie pochodzenie. Co ciekawe dziś raczej powiemy Maria Skłodowska-Curie, ale jeszcze 30 lat temu powszechnie mówiono całkiem opacznie Curie-Skłodowska. ;) A prawnie możliwość używania przez kobiety podwójnego nazwiska (panieńskie i męża) istnieje w Polsce dopiero od lat 70. XX w.
Dzięki, ciekawe, pokazuje zawiłości tak lingwistyki jak i stosunków międzynarodowych. Tekst z 1986 roku czyli czasu gdzie chwytano się każdej niteczki polskości. Ale bałałajka mnie urzekła.
@@jokdok8946 używała różnie zapisywanych nazwisk. Bodajże na jej doktoracie ma właśnie obydwa nazwiska. I nie zapominaj, że ona żyła we Francji, więc stosowała się do francuskich przepisów (po ślubie).
I think that in Poland's case two groups of heroes should be considered separately - wartime and peacetime personalities. Poland's officially promoted history in 95% is composed of wars and uprisings (WW2 absolutely dominating), plus the communist period. The nation's peaceful contribution to the world's development in various areas is, yes, Maria Skłodowska-Curie, and - that's right - Fryderyk Chopin. And... oops. Who else? Here the problem begins. Why should the world know about other Polish peacetime champions, if lots of Poles don't know about them either? Even about those whose names can be found on maps of several countries around the globe? Another category should be attributed to people who do not represent Poland officially, but they were born in this country and their links with the fatherland are undeniable. Anyone outside Poland knows the real name of Joseph Conrad? Etc. ...
Joseph Conrad- Józef Korzeniowski. Also Ignacy Łukasiewicz, inventor of kerosene lamp, discoverer of crude oil, inventor of first in the world oil refinery. Thanks to him, first in the world medical operation could be conducted at night with artificial light (kerosene lamp). Kazimierz Funk, who discovered vitamins and gave them their name. Jan Szczepanik, who's been called Polish Edison at his time, he designed telectroscope - a device for remote transmission of a moving color image with sound, the progenitor of today's television. And many, many more quiet contributors of todays goods, like Stanislaw Lem, Polish S/F writer.
Few Poles know about Paweł Edmund Strzelecki, Ignacy Domeyko, Jan Czerski, Stefan Szolc-Rogoziński, Edward Jan Habich, Ernest Malinowski and others, the Poles who are so famous in various countries on several continents, but not in their homeland. To be famous in Poland, you need to be a wartime hero or an anti-communist fighter. Peacetime achievements are a less valuable category in this country.
Popieram. Papież-Polak jest głównym sprawcą, jeśli można tak powiedzieć, upadku ZSRS, imperium zła. I pokonał je nie dywizjami, a modlitwą i mądrością od Boga. A jego kumplem w tym przewrocie był prezydent USA, Ronald Reagan.
well done , but the list is much longer :Ignacy Łukasiewicz , Kościuszko , Puławski , Wałęsa , Jan III Sobieski, Stefan Banch, Chopin, Kopernik , Karol Wojtyła , Kazimierz Wielki
Gratuluję wyboru postaci, świetny, a nieoczywisty wybór. Przy następnej okazji proponuję wspomnieć o prymasie S. Wyszyńskim, który skutecznie sprzeciwił się komunistycznej władzy, a w obronie którego stanęli tylko Niemiec i pies
Just an ideas throwing it at you cause I’d be curious, I moved to Canada when I was in grade 4 and still have memories of my friends in Poland, maybe you can do some reunion segments I think they would go a long way, considering you have people on this channel from all over!
Joseph Conrad - Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski Ignacy Jan Paderewski Adam Chmielowski - Św. brat Albert ks. Jerzy Popiełuszko Stefan Banach Jacek Karpiński Ernest Malinowski
Brits stole our glory of braking Enigma code 🥴 funny fact. We also won with Russia in soo called Vistula mirracle "Cud nad Wisłą" because we knew their plans. Oh yes, Polish cryptologiests was rly good.
Then why Poland is not in the maps of Europe for hundreds of years or maybe wasn't the Soviets who changed the world - 1917 and Poland become again independent country, pardon me did it not Poland lasted 2 decades and then again Soviets give your borders 1945 or maybe the truth hurts and the hate escalates . European powers didn't give a dam just promises and used you against Russians
@@N44-d4b that's Simple. Russia was always one of those who attacked our independance. ALWAYS. Those time witout our borders for 123 years was always connected with Russian agression. U mentioned 1917 and 1945 and borders, ask yourself why this borders was attacked and by who? And same answer. Russia and Germany, same history. On september 39 Germany first and Soviets as second invaded Poland, murdered millions of citizens and houndred tousands people were send to slavery labor.
My grandfather was operated by Dr. Religa, altho the operation was a sucsess there was some infection and he died abruptly. Good vid but I think it's more like "great Poles" rather than heroes. For me #1 hero is Witold Pilecki #2 is Ryszard Kuklinski both who risked their lives not only for their country but for humanity in general and paid the highest price

What? No Jan III Sobieski? I guess he was technically born in Ukraine but he is best known as a King of Poland and leading the Winged Hussars in the Battle of Vienna.
I just watched "plociuch historyczny" about what would happen if Sobieski didn't stop turks under Vienna. The conclusion was they'd be stopped soon later by Austrians themselves, because Turks were already running out of air.
I know now most of ppl are stupid and give everything for ukraine but ffs stop -.- so you try to tell me that after 1795 no one is Poles because no one was born in POLAND or you just look at it how map look like now in XXIc? what about germany? a lot of them was born technically in Poland? or Czech?

yes, all of this persons are heroes and ordinary people like me, like you, they never ask for rewards or profits, fame... thank you for this movie, polish people know them all, but is nice that now some another nations can here that stories
There are a few more obvious and well-known heroes, such as Witold Pilecki, but I would like to draw your attention to a great Pole, whom very few people know about, and he is an extraordinary figure. Namely, Henryk Sławik, who, together with his Hungarian friend József Antall, saved the lives of almost 30,000 Polish refugees, including about 5,000 Jews. Arrested in July 1944 after the Germans had entered Hungary, he assumed all responsibility in the investigation, refusing to admit to knowing Antall, which saved the latter's life. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henryk_S%C5%82awik pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henryk_S%C5%82awik

2. Jan III Sobieski - polish noble that was elected for king, the one that led hussars defending Viena in 1863. His whole life was amazing and very interesting.
3. Stanisława Leszczyńska - midwife in Auschwitz, amazing woman. There is a book "Położna w Auschwitz" - her memoir. It's mindblowing. This lady is considered "blessed" by catholic church today. You have to read the book. I've heard about movie about her but I haven't watch it yet.
4. Ferdynand Ossendowski and his books.
There's more of course but I find theese particular people exceptionaly interesting.
You could use the "Skłodowska-Curie" that is the full second name, after she married Pierre Curie she still had her maiden name.
Oczywiście mi brakuje tutaj przede wszystkim rotmistrza Witolda Pileckiego.
interesting list, as chemist I love the way you started. Maria was incredible, opened high education and research to women around the world. As a man, I cannot emphasise enough how much I admire her work ethics, breaking boundaries and remaining a woman, mother and becoming a living icon. Please never forget her daughters: Irene and her husband got Nobel price in chemistry too, and second daughter’s husband got Piece Nobel price. 5 Nobels!!!
For me the most overlooked Polish scientists that changed planet earth and the way people lived and still live is pharmacists, engineer and inventor Ignacy Łukaszewicz. His impact is comparable with Alfred Nobel. Ignacy invented modern oil rafination, kerosene and kerosene lamp. Still today kerosene lamps are used by millions of people around the world where electricity is a challenge. He lit the night for the globe, allowing better and safer illumination than candles.
Ignacy Łukaszewicz . . . invented modern oil rafination, kerosene and kerosene lamp.
And in so doing saved the whale. At least the sperm whale, which was being hunted recklessly for its oil which was used for illumination.
1. Ignacy Łukaszewicz.
2. Jan Czochralski. - a big one, but almost nobody knows about him. All of today electronics depends on his work.
O yes Czochralski is known in the world but not so many know that he was Polish. His method is used everywhere to obtain monocrystals of semiconductor materials.
Unfortunately he has been persecuted in communist Poland and lost his position as a professor at Warsaw Polytechnic. He died of heart attack shortly after last incursion of the communist secret service at his home. Communists hated him so much that it was forbidden to mention to the students that Czochralski was of the Polish nationality.
I tell you that from my own experience. I studied Electronics Technology at Warsaw Politechnic ( Warsaw Technical University). We asked our lecturer if Czochralski was Polish and we haven't got any positive response.
Great job. There is a lot of Polish Heroes. I think you should know another one names Maksymilian Maria Kolbe.
I was named after him, and when ever the question is asked if I would ever change my name, I reply that if given the choice, I would not, because there is no better name than his and there is no name I would be more proud to have.
This video made me cry (and be proud) 🥰 I'm amazed by your fascination with my beautiful Poland 💖
You do an incredible work for promoting Poland. I'm very grateful for that. Keep it up
Masz u mnie szacunek i brawa za twoje filmy nagrywaj więcej
it's so sad that many of those heroes came out in the time of war. in the same time it's really hearth-warming that many people find courage to do such an amazing things for other people. check out Stanisława Leszczyńska. she was Polish nurse that helped pregnant women in Auschwitz concentration camp to deliver as many babies as she could even though she knew many will not survive the camp. amazing woman that knew how precious human life is...
Gen.Sosabowski!His story always make me cry…
Yes Sosabowski commander of the Polish Airborne Brigade in Arnhem was a hero.
I would add there gen Maczek commander of Polish Armoured Dicvision. Particularily distiguished at battle of Falaise
Jan Karski is a must on a list. I recommend movie on netflix: "Karski i władcy ludzkości"
wow zrobiło mi się ciepło na sercu... dziękuję za taki piękny odcinek!😢
wszystkiego dobrego, dużo zdrowia i spokoju 😁
- Tadeusz Kościuszko a Polish officer and engineer, highly contributed to the victory of the Americans in The Battle of Saratoga 1777, which led to the support of the American War of Independence by the French and ultimately to the creation of the United States of America.
- Ignacy Łukasiewicz in 1852 develops the process of crude oil Refining, the invention of kerosene, the first step to the creation of fuel and modern cars.
- Kazimierz Funk in 1912, the discovery of vitamins, .
- Stefan Drzewiecki in 1887 describes the Modern Theory of Flight, Aerodynamics, helicopter propeller, and mathematical methods for determining ship propellers. The Wright brothers relied on his books when building the first plane.
- Nicolaus Copernicus (pl.: Mikołaj Kopernik) in 1543 proved that the earth orbits the sun, the Heliocentrism.
- Aleksander Wolszczan in 1992 discoverer of the first planets outside the solar system and methods of their detection.
- Konstantin Ciołkowski in 1923 formulated the theory of the motion of multistage rockets in the Earth's gravitational field.
- Benedictus Polonus in 1247 trip to the capital of the Mongol Empire a decade before Marco Polo (1266).
Tadeusz Kościuszko also engineered the fortifications at the Battles of Bunker Hill and Yorktown and designed West Point.
@@ScottA2345 All of the above-mentioned Poles also had other merits, Copernicus had achievements in economics, Stefan Drzewiecik created the first electric submarine, Ignacy Łukasiewicz built the first oil drilling well ... I only mentioned those achievements that influenced the fate of the world or made some scientific breakthrough. These are not all Poles with merits for humanity, it would be appropriate for me to mention many more inventions and achievements: bulletproof vest, mine detector, walkie-talkie, Apollo lunar rover, periscope, modern wipers, first handheld film camera, monocrystals production method (a necessary element of electronics)..
I also omitted many Poles who showed great courage in times of war, it would take a long time to tell their stories.
When it comes to self-sacrifice, the unattainable ideal is a Polish Catholic priest, Maximilian Kolbe, who volunteered to get starved to death in place of a fellow prisoner at the Auschwitz death camp. German prison guards considered starving to death to be the ultimate atrocity and punishment and could not comprehend that anyone would volunteer to die this kind of death to save a fellow human being only because he had children to live for. After Maximilian Kolbe’s death, Germans stopped starving death camp prisoners to death. He deprived them of satisfaction from killing people this way. Dr. Janusz Korczak also sacrificed his life and glory to him for this. However, I think that it’s easier to die for innocent children than for a grown up ‘sinful’ man. It takes what very very few people have. I know that I don’t.
Thank you very much for this video, I cried. I join the request of others..Pilecki i Generał Nil, Inka(there is a beautiful movie about Nil and Inka). Thank you ♥️
Definitely Inka and Nil.
Niedźwiedź Wojtek, prawdopodobnie dosłownie największy polski bohater.
Great job! Thank you for video.The way you talk about Poland makes me proud to be Polish.
Marie Skłodowska-Curie my Friend ;)
Skłodowska nie zmarła z powodu pracy z Radem i Polonem. Zmarła dlatego, że gdy wybuchła I wojna światowa, robiła prześwietlenia rentgenowskie rannych żołnierzy, zmarła z tego powodu. Nie znano jeszcze skutków promieniowanie rentgenowskiego a Skłodowska robiła to w warunkach wojennych bez osłon i zabezpieczeń, to ją zabiło.
Polska ma właśnie teraz tysiące bohaterów, których nazwisk prawdopodobnie nigdy nie poznamy. Poświęcają wszystko, żeby pomóc ludziom, którzy wszystko stracili.
I ta pomoc wyjdzie bokiem ;)

Even though I know all these stories, they touch me anew each time.
When you talk about Korczak, it would be nice to recognize his closest coworker - Stefania Wilczyńska. She managed the orphanage when Korczak was in the military. She also was sent to Treblinka, with children and Korczak, after refusing the option to avoid it.
First of all thanks for making this video👍 (from 0 to tears rolling in matter of seconds...) Secondly, im so glad you talk about Enigma breakers. Seems like nobody is aware of the truth 😕
Witold Pilecki and protectors of Westerplatte! please
Amazing video 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Minor correction: Defenders not protectors
When we said about 1939 and defenders of Westerplatte we should remember another battle - Wizna. Less than 1000 Polish soldiers stopped over 40000 germans. This battle is called "Polish Thermophiles"
"I rzekła na koniec Polska: ktokolwiek przyjdzie do mnie będzie wolny i równy, gdyż ja jestem Wolność." - Adam Mickiewicz. Pozdrawiam. fajny film
Love this channel and ur videos! I started learning about polish history more as a way to reconnect with my roots as a pole growing up in another country. I read up on Marie Curie, the Enigma Code, war heroes etc and realized a lot of it, like the enigma code, isn't well known at all. It makes me really happy to see someone spreading the history and culture in such an entertaining way. Keep up the great work! :))
Great video! Thank you. And great pronunciation of Polish names 😀
Marie Skłodowska Curie is still the *only* person to win Nobel Prize in two different *science* fields (that is not science/peace combo, as Pauling, or two times the same science, as Bardeen and Sanger).
Curie family is also the only family to get 4 Nobel Prizes over 2 generations:
* Physics (Marie & Peter, this is counted as 2 for the family), Chemistry (Marie)
* Chemistry (Irene & Frederic Joliot - daughter with husband, this for whatever reason is counted as one for family)
Additionally, there is an "honorary" 5th Nobel, a Peace for Henry Richardson Labouisse, privately a husband of Eve, second daughter of Marie. Eve jokingly said she is a disgrace to the family - her parents won Nobel, her sister did, her husband did - only she didn't.
Hilary Koprowski - check him!
Tadeusz Kościuszko - also for American Revolutionary War
Krystyna Skarbek - oryginal Vesper Lynd and IIWW hero.
Names which came immediately to my mind are Tadeusz Kościuszko and Witold Pilecki.
Not so many Americans know that their famous West Point military school is in the fortress built by Kościuszko.
Maksymilian Kolbe, Witold Pilecki, Karol Wojtyła, Gen Stanisław Maczek
Mikołaj Kopernik, without doubts! :)
The saddest and the most taboo part of Pilecki's death is the fact that his persecutors were never punished for their court-murder on a war hero. Some of them lived in Poland and took huge retirement pensions until death. Some other escaped to Israel where they were protected from the Polish law after communism era, lived in wealth, and died in old age without ever being harassed or disturbed by anyone. Sad but true..
The lead prosecutor in Pilecki's case, Czesław Łapiński, while indeed never punished for his crimes, died of cancer at the age of 92 at the Maria Sklodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology... located right next to Witold Pilecki's street.
He never got what he deserved, but I hope he at least saw the sad irony of this.
Great work! It is so nice to see the results of "cooperation" between all of us "tipsters" becoming so to speak part of your research dept LOL. You gave us feeling that we contributed in some way to your work. Your group of followers becomes already a legion... Thanks, and we wait for the next episodes!
responding to your request to suggest heroes for the next episode. i think i found some heroes.
I split it into
military commander
political leader
military man
scientist
spiritual
Stanisław Maczek -General of the armored brigade, it was because of him that the Germans called us Poles black devils
Roman Dmowski- quite opaque figure, often considered a fascist, but his contribution to the rebirth of Poland after World War I should be noted. He is considered one of the founding fathers of Poland
Władysław Raginis -He died in the battle of Wizna. Thanks to his sacrifice, the Warsaw army could defend itself longer. He is an example of the honor of a soldier
Jan Józef Ignacy Łukasiewicz- creator of the kerosene lamp. the first oil tycoon in Poland. Probably thanks to him he got rich Rockefeller
Maksymilian Maria Kolbe -he voluntarily chose to starve to death in exchange for another prisoner of the German Auschwitz extermination camp
Thank you for reminding the world about Polish contribution
You forgot about King Jan Sobieski. Without him non od these people will be alive
Lion of Lechistan 👑
The very first person I thought about was Witold Pilecki and the second one, my father's unle, Antoni Czortek. But there are many more worth mentioning.
If I were to propose my hero: Fr Maksymilian Maria Kolbe. Absolutely.
Chyba o nim tez nie doczytałeś co?
Wow! Your choise is wonderful and meaningful. Thx!
Korczak is also mentioned in 'The Zookeepers Wife'. Highly recommend that movie.
A propo Żabińscy deserve also to be recognize at your list.
1) Witold Pilecki, 2) Squadron 303 of the Battle of England
He tell abaut them last vidio
Very interesting, you are right, these names are not common knowledge. Thank you for making this. Who do I think should be added to your hero list? Well, their names are many, but members of the Polish GROM. I’m friends with a retired GROM soldier, now author. That’s how I know about them. ❤️
I learned new ones from this video. I already knew about Jan Sobieski II, Casmir Pulaski, Witold Pilecki and Woytek the bear but the list just keeps growing. Love to Poland.
There is a mistake. Not Marie Curie but Maria Skłodowska-Curie. She used both surnames. In Poland it is not so rare women add husband's surname.
Polacy tak mówią i generalnie nie ma w tym nic złego. Ale Maria Skłodowska vel Maria Curie nigdy nie używała podwójnego nazwiska. Po prostu w takim zapisie my Polacy podkreślamy jej polskie pochodzenie. Co ciekawe dziś raczej powiemy Maria Skłodowska-Curie, ale jeszcze 30 lat temu powszechnie mówiono całkiem opacznie Curie-Skłodowska. ;) A prawnie możliwość używania przez kobiety podwójnego nazwiska (panieńskie i męża) istnieje w Polsce dopiero od lat 70. XX w.
Dzięki, ciekawe, pokazuje zawiłości tak lingwistyki jak i stosunków międzynarodowych. Tekst z 1986 roku czyli czasu gdzie chwytano się każdej niteczki polskości. Ale bałałajka mnie urzekła.
Jaka kulturalna dyskusja i merytoryczna wymiana poglądów, rzadko spotykana w Internecie. Gratulacje :)
@@jokdok8946 używała różnie zapisywanych nazwisk. Bodajże na jej doktoracie ma właśnie obydwa nazwiska. I nie zapominaj, że ona żyła we Francji, więc stosowała się do francuskich przepisów (po ślubie).

2. Maksymilian Maria Kolbe

Świetny film bardzo dokładne informacje 👍🙂 pozdrawiam
I think that in Poland's case two groups of heroes should be considered separately - wartime and peacetime personalities. Poland's officially promoted history in 95% is composed of wars and uprisings (WW2 absolutely dominating), plus the communist period. The nation's peaceful contribution to the world's development in various areas is, yes, Maria Skłodowska-Curie, and - that's right - Fryderyk Chopin. And... oops. Who else? Here the problem begins. Why should the world know about other Polish peacetime champions, if lots of Poles don't know about them either? Even about those whose names can be found on maps of several countries around the globe? Another category should be attributed to people who do not represent Poland officially, but they were born in this country and their links with the fatherland are undeniable. Anyone outside Poland knows the real name of Joseph Conrad? Etc. ...
Joseph Conrad- Józef Korzeniowski. Also Ignacy Łukasiewicz, inventor of kerosene lamp, discoverer of crude oil, inventor of first in the world oil refinery. Thanks to him, first in the world medical operation could be conducted at night with artificial light (kerosene lamp). Kazimierz Funk, who discovered vitamins and gave them their name. Jan Szczepanik, who's been called Polish Edison at his time, he designed telectroscope - a device for remote transmission of a moving color image with sound, the progenitor of today's television. And many, many more quiet contributors of todays goods, like Stanislaw Lem, Polish S/F writer.
Few Poles know about Paweł Edmund Strzelecki, Ignacy Domeyko, Jan Czerski, Stefan Szolc-Rogoziński, Edward Jan Habich, Ernest Malinowski and others, the Poles who are so famous in various countries on several continents, but not in their homeland. To be famous in Poland, you need to be a wartime hero or an anti-communist fighter. Peacetime achievements are a less valuable category in this country.
And Kopernik! :)
@@wonauz8142 Hey, that's rather obvious :)

Brits stole our glory of braking Enigma code 🥴 funny fact. We also won with Russia in soo called Vistula mirracle "Cud nad Wisłą" because we knew their plans. Oh yes, Polish cryptologiests was rly good.
Then why Poland is not in the maps of Europe for hundreds of years or maybe wasn't the Soviets who changed the world - 1917 and Poland become again independent country, pardon me did it not Poland lasted 2 decades and then again Soviets give your borders 1945 or maybe the truth hurts and the hate escalates . European powers didn't give a dam just promises and used you against Russians
@@N44-d4b that's Simple. Russia was always one of those who attacked our independance. ALWAYS. Those time witout our borders for 123 years was always connected with Russian agression. U mentioned 1917 and 1945 and borders, ask yourself why this borders was attacked and by who? And same answer. Russia and Germany, same history. On september 39 Germany first and Soviets as second invaded Poland, murdered millions of citizens and houndred tousands people were send to slavery labor.

My grandfather was operated by Dr. Religa, altho the operation was a sucsess there was some infection and he died abruptly. Good vid but I think it's more like "great Poles" rather than heroes. For me #1 hero is Witold Pilecki #2 is Ryszard Kuklinski both who risked their lives not only for their country but for humanity in general and paid the highest price

Find a map of Poland from 1630 ;))
I just watched "plociuch historyczny" about what would happen if Sobieski didn't stop turks under Vienna. The conclusion was they'd be stopped soon later by Austrians themselves, because Turks were already running out of air.

I know now most of ppl are stupid and give everything for ukraine but ffs stop -.- so you try to tell me that after 1795 no one is Poles because no one was born in POLAND or you just look at it how map look like now in XXIc? what about germany? a lot of them was born technically in Poland? or Czech? (especly in Braslau/Wrocław or Stettin/Szczecin) What about Poles born in Russin cities or AH empire? or how you find who is who because you look at it and think like that or you use as "key" XIX def of nationalism? technically Ukraine didnt exist in that age even mentaly as nation XD

What is sad is the fact Irena Sendler "lost" Nobel prize to All Gore...
Keep going like that and you will earn your Polish card 😂
There are a few more obvious and well-known heroes, such as Witold Pilecki, but I would like to draw your attention to a great Pole, whom very few people know about, and he is an extraordinary figure. Namely, Henryk Sławik, who, together with his Hungarian friend József Antall, saved the lives of almost 30,000 Polish refugees, including about 5,000 Jews. Arrested in July 1944 after the Germans had entered Hungary, he assumed all responsibility in the investigation, refusing to admit to knowing Antall, which saved the latter's life.
