    Warszawa was totally destroid during WW2 do all what you saw was rebuild. Kraków survived WW2 and most od the buildings, monument, churches etc are oryginal. I'm from Kraków and a visit to Auschwitz was na important point during education in primary school. It's very painfull to hear a fraze "polish concentraction camp" in media. Auschwitz is a german word for the place they have created during ocupation of PL. Salt Mine in Wieliczka is one of the best places to visit! PL is a strong country and if the war don't come to us or EU don't stop us with new regulations or our politicians don't ruin everything then we have some chance to become what they call a super power.

    The Wieliczka Salt Mine, which is listed at the UNESCO List of World's Cultural Heritage sites, is a must-see. It's very close to Cracow, an old historical town, that used to be a former capital and a royal seat - for sure, every tourist must visit Cracow. In Warsaw there's also much to see, like the Old Town, Royal Castle, Wilanów Royal Palace, Łazienki Royal Park, and the Museum of the Warsaw Uprising (it's worth seeing). Many tourists visit also Gdańsk or Wrocław. The Jasna Góra Monastery in Częstochowa is also worth seeing, it's a very important place, not only because of religion, but also it's a important cultural heritage and historic place.

    Yes, at school we visit the Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau. They offer also 6 hours long study tours with a guide in English. I was at such study tour few years ago with some foreign guests. I think that everyone should go for such a longer visit at least once. And one should also remember that Auschwitz-Birkenau was only one of many such German mass death concentration camps. There were also many others, like Dachau, Sachsenhausen, Ravensbrueck, Mauthausen, Bergen-Belsen, Majdanek, Bełżec, Sobibór, Treblinka, Gross-Rosen and many others. There was also a concentration camp only for Polish children in Łódź - Litzmannstadt Konzentrationslager für Polnische Kinder. But after the war only in Auschwitz such full-scale museum was established, to remember what Germans did then and so that it doesn't come back. In all these concentration camps not only Jewish, but also Polish people were murdered - Polish was the second nation, after the Jews, with the greatest number of victims imprisoned and murdered in German concentration camps, including Auschwitz.

    10:00 [Note: In Polish, 'w' pronounces as the English 'v' sound] The statue at 10::00 is a statue of a mermaid named Sawa. Notice, that Sawa is wielding a saber and a shield. According to legend, Sawa, the warrior mermaid, fell in love with a human warrior, Wars. The city's name in Polish Warszawa, is a joining of the two names Wars and Sawa.

    n Poland, there are currently the highest number of people willing to join the army in decades. Poles are a nation that can argue and disagree among themselves, but there is one thing that unites us... it is tragedy or danger. Then Poles are an unstoppable force. The war in Ukraine caused Poles to join the army or territorial troops. Poland is strong, when bad things happen, it unites us, wars, the death of the Pope, the Smolensk disaster, etc.

      Speak for yourself. Most of them are young people who think that war is like computer games. Generally, Poles do not want to fight, nor do they want any war, politicians and the EU want war. There are always those who earned a lot of money in war. It's good to fight with other people's hands, while sending your children far away, where they are safe.

    Investments in the military are big indeed (3-4% of GDP), however, it's more in equipment. Don't believe in the 300k Polish army. Polish military consists of approx. 115k professional soldiers + 36k territorial/volunteer army. I don't see growing interest in a career in the army, however I might be mistaken here. Considering the low birth rate I doubt we would ever reach 300k armed forces unless compulsory military service shall be reinstalled (it was abolished in 2008).

    A strong, safe state is attractive to investors. We have already proven economically that we are developing, and we know how to do it. We have a very low crime rate. but we lack strength. we want to bring more corporations to Poland. Raise your level of competitiveness. We don't want any event in the Czech Republic or Lithuania to affect our stock market. The war in Ukraine showed us that investors need certainty that no one will attack Poland militarily. That's why we agree on building an army that simply scares away with its power and possibilities. We know that hospitals, schools and other matters have dropped a step in the value pyramid. There are important and more important matters. we just act. we don't speculate, we don't confuse, we don't debate, we act.

    1. If I were to recommend any city in Poland that you would visit, I would recommend Wrocław. Krakow and Warsaw are simply snobbish cities nowadays, where the focus is on tourists' money instead of truly Polish experiences :D Wrocław is 100,000 times more beautiful than Warsaw and Krakow and, additionally, in the center of Wrocław, everything is close, so close that you can walk simply.
    2. When it comes to Auschwitz, I believe that every person in the world should visit this place. This is a place that completely changes your worldview and the way you look at conflicts in the world. Regarding your question, most kids in Poland learn about Auschwitz, but the trips depend on how rich the local governments and schools the children go to are.

    Siły zbrojne Polski:
    300.000 armia to plan. Będzie bardzo trudno to osiągnąć, a jeszcze trudniej to utrzymać. Politycy mają tendencję do kreowania nieistniejącej rzeczywistości. Jeszcze daleko do osiągnięcia takiej liczebności.
    Wydatki 2-4%. Tak ale ... zakupione uzbrojenie w ogromnej części jeszcze "w drodze". Zakupy kontrowersyjne, ze względu na chaotyczne decyzje. Zbyt małe inwestycje w krajowy przemysł obronny. Złe zarządzanie państwowymi firmami zbrojeniowymi. Rozumiem potrzebę zbrojenia Polski, ale obawiam się problemów ze spłatą zadłużenia z tym związanego.
    Oprócz suchych liczb (wielkość armii, wydatki na wojsko) ważne jest zarządzanie taką strukturą, a z tym nie jest najlepiej. Boję się, że nie wiemy wszystkiego. Boję się, że oficjalne informacje dotyczące naszej obronności, są po prostu elementem marketingu politycznego.

    I hate these types of movies. Poland is a typical European country. It has beautiful and dark sides. Good food, landscapes, monuments, hospitality are all true, but you may encounter unfavorable experiences. No one can say that in my country you will only meet nice people. In Europe we are considered racists. Maybe you'll get punched in the teeth and your wallet and cell phone will be stolen, but probably nothing more. I have nothing against Italians etc. However, I remember the story of a couple who went to Italy for an engagement and the fiancé was stabbed in front of his future fiancée, and while he was bleeding out, he saw Muslim attackers raping her. You won't experience this here. In our country, extremists are exterminated without the knowledge of the authorities. That's why we seem to be such a safe country. Are you Polish, Ukrainian, Syrian, Kazakh, Russian, Iranian, Vietnamese, Nigerian etc. You can take advantage of our hospitality, and we will be happy to accommodate you, but please adapt because we hammer in the protruding nails with a hammer. On this issue, we are not in line with the EU, which allows everything.

      One word: Realpolitik. No country’s politics are perfect: they must suit the realities of the time.
      There was no realistic way to come to Poland’s direct aid in 1939. The victory parade decision was an attempt to appease the Soviets at a time when tensions were mounting. Meanwhile, the UK Treasury was emptied by the war and heavily in debt to the USA - Poland was allowed to create its own independent armed forces in Britain on the understanding it would later contribute to the costs of the war.
