historia

The record of past events. Poland's history is among Europe's most turbulent — partitioned three times (1772, 1793, 1795) and erased from the map for 123 years, occupied by both Nazi Germany and Soviet USSR in WWII, site of the Holocaust (Auschwitz-Birkenau), and transformed by communist rule 1945–1989. Poland's resilience and national identity despite occupation is remarkable.

“Polska przetrwała 123 lata bez własnego państwa i odrodziła się po I wojnie światowej.”

In English: “Poland survived 123 years without its own state and was reborn after World War I.”
