Poland - A Brief History Of (incl. Ukraine, WW2, Jews) (17 minutes)

The whole of the history of Poland in short, with a focus on the last 100 years or so. Cutting straight to the truth. World War Two or even older events have left Polish people badly wounded, on the brink of destruction, annihilation, but clearly this nation is about something more.

Love, truth, courage; heroism.
