The answer to the feuilleton


I admit that a good curiosity I read the last pages of the feuilleton's GameWalkera. Bothers me, but it quite a lot of generalizations and selective treatment of the subject. So I decided to clarify a few issues, both relating to the Polish education system and global defense Wizna ignorance about the heroes of their own homelands.

In the previous issue of the person behind the nickname Zingiberis called themes have long been under discussion - the Polish education system and the issue of valuing heroes. or particularly deserving people for their homeland. As it turns out, these are not matters too far. This band Sabaton song, "40 - 1" provoked a small storm of our country, flew to the charge that Poles do not know their own history, that the people who sacrificed their lives in the fight for the Fatherland is not a word even remembered the lessons of history. I admit, interested in history for a long time and probably know more about it than the average Polish student for whom history is just another school subject katorżniczym. I know that the defense was not the only Wizna battle known as "Polish Thermopylae", I also know, why do not we learn about it in schools. Well, would not be as great heroism of the defenders, as well as tremendous advantage would not have the troops of the Third Reich, the battle was with point of view, a marginal skirmish campaign, that's another pebble thrown by the Poles at the feet of the Nazi army. And, unfortunately, a student who comes barely remember the battle 5 September campaign dates do not remember much about the battle, which, though of course, is very commendable for the Polish armed forces, has little historical significanceAudi Wallpaper.

By the way, the problem of the characters and their honor (or rather its absence) is a global issue for which just should not worry. I do not know whether I went to special schools, but in my little I knew people who would have heard about the role played by the Poles in the Battle of Britain, decoded the Enigma, and the operation Overlord. Not only that, this knowledge is not reserved for lovers of history well beyond our borders! For example, some English pubs boast that they spent time in the Polish pilots, the device is even evenings, the memory of them.

And just the fact that the average Polish Gimnazjalista not know that the Poles were decoded Enigma (apart from the fact that this name probably little he says), is wdług worrying me a lot less than what is happening in Europe and overseas. Because it is that German teenagers say that Nazism was generally cool "and the fact that American children think of George Washington as the founder of the Washington Wizards basketball team is probably much worse. To clarify matters a little - as most do not like the fact that Poles do not know too well its history. I do not think, however, that public discussion should focus on those points, because a broader view would benefit us moreBentley Wallpaper.
