Uwaga, drastyczne sceny! Dostaliśmy filmik, jak policjant z Merseyside Police w Liverpoolu brutalnie traktuje Polkę, która broni swojego 12-letniego syna. Zakłada jej kajdanki, popycha ją i szarpie, a następnie w trakcie tzw. interwencji łamie chłopcu nadgarstek. Wszystkiemu przyglądają się przerażone, płaczące dzieci. Wojtek ma w tej chwili rękę w gipsie. Co sądzicie o zachowaniu policjanta? Czy on reprezentuje prawo?

7-letnia Anastazja śpiewa „Co to jest niepodległość”. Posłuchajcie! To jedno z najbardziej wzruszających nagrań, jakie kiedykolwiek oglądaliśmy. Piękny przykład pielęgnowania patriotyzmu i wychowywania dzieci w duchu miłości do Ojczyzny. „Takie będą Rzeczypospolite, jakie ich młodzieży chowanie”. 📷 Krzysztof Szalek (tata Anastazji)

When King George VI visited No. 303 Squadron at RAF Northolt in 1940, he reportedly asked the pilots whether they were really Polish, as some of their surnames sounded foreign. Each replied: "Yes, I am Polish." One example was Sgt Josef František, a Czech who refused to fly with any other unit. With 17 confirmed victories, he was the squadron’s top scorer during the Battle of Britain. He was killed on 8 October 1940 when his Hurricane crashed at Ewell, Surrey. He rests in Northwood Cemetery, London, beneath a Polish headstone, alongside his Polish and British RAF comrades. [*] Credit: A brilliant scene from the 2018 Polish film Dywizjon 303.

9 października 1939 roku powstał pierwszy w okupowanej Polsce oddział partyzancki, dowodzony przez majora Henryka Dobrzańskiego. Oddział wykazał się niewiarygodną odwagą i skutecznością. Pomimo, że jego liczebność nigdy nie przekroczyła 300 żołnierzy, do walki z nim Niemcy musieli zaangażować ogółem ok. 8000 ludzi. "Hubal" powiedział swoim żołnierzom: „Nie było rozkazu kapitulacji... przeszliście przez piekło… Za nami groby kolegów... czy po to ginęli, abyśmy teraz mieli złożyć broń? Ja w żadnym razie broni nie złożę, munduru nie zdejmę... tak mi dopomóż Bóg!" ONI NIGDY SIĘ NIE PODDALI! Zobaczcie fragment znakomitego filmu "Hubal", 10 minut narodowej dumy!

The most heartbreaking moment of the funeral in Ostrówki was the burial of 26 tiny coffins containing the remains of innocent children. It was in Ostrówki and Wola Ostrowiecka that one of the most tragic episodes of the Volhynia genocide took place on 30 August 1943. Within just a few hours, Ukrainians murdered around 1,050 Poles. The villages were then looted and burned, and the victims’ bodies were thrown into mass graves, wells and ditches. Following exhumations carried out by Poland’s Institute of National Remembrance in July and August 2026, a funeral was held for 55 Polish victims, including those 26 children. [*] 📷 Mirosław Gębski

Today, Marian Słomka turns 101. An RAF engineer, he is believed to be the last living Pole who served in the Royal Air Force during WW2 and still lives in the UK. Deported by the Soviets to a Gulag near Archangel, he survived against all odds. Yesterday, with deep emotion, we listened as he sang "Rozkwitają pęki białych róż" at the 65th ceremony honouring the fallen Polish airmen at the Polish Air Force Memorial in London. Thank you for your service, Sir, and Happy 101st Birthday! May you live to 200!
