i will keep it with poland. in poland, he said at the pk wnd was a polish puppet communist regime. he met some sort of noises to the allies that some of the government people in the polish government could join this regime. person he invited 16 of these people to have talks with the idea of joining the government. on the 20th of march, 16 of them flew to warsaw to have talks about the new government. stalin got them on a plane, they went to moscow. they were arrested, imprisoned and tortured. they were put through show trials. the top ofing about the home army. this was the commander-in-chief of the home army. he died in soviet prison. they all died in prison. these massive waves of arrest happened after the red army betweenrough poland july 1944 and august 2 45. about 100,000 at home army people and others are the soviets thought might be against their regime were arrested. including people like stem stop arrested.e it was he was in the raf. he had gone back to poland. you was educated. i also include people at my father-in-law who had crimes like in auschwitz when he was council,

in 1939, poland is divided. part of poland is attached to the soviet union. with this comes the promise that upwards of one -- one million poles will be deported in order to work in labor camps. this translates into scores and scores of settlements, many of which have half -- close to 90% of jews as these polish citizens living in the settlements. those of you that are interested interestingly in the process by are deported into the soviet union should take a look at a book i peter. i want to understand exactly what soviet exile and work looks like and what that means. there are elements of this exile are horrible. there is hunger, cold, constant displacement. just because you were deported does not mean you are going to stay there for two years. you could quickly be taken to to samarkand -- what is interesting about the polish jews is the experience -- they survive often with the family unit intact. i'll go through people returning to poland after the war find that there are 3-4-5 children with their parents in one family. there is some time to put down root

he had given poland a slice of czech territory, and now, it was poland's turn to ascend the sacrificialhad pledged themselves to come to the aid of poland, and then hitler executed what seemed at the time a master political stroke. having come to power as the savior of germany from communism, having gained support in certain circles of the democracies as the slayer of the red dragon, having built his systems on worldwide rejection of the communist crusade, hitler sent his foreign minister to moscow. his policy of collective security had been scrapped at munich. now, russia and germany signed a treaty of friendship. hitler's propaganda machines hummed, four even in a dictatorship, masses of men and women must be ready for war. but poland stood firm. great britain stood firm. hitler didn't declare war. on september 1, 1939, he struck without warning. which is the way of the aggressor. you will soon see hitler's own photographic record of the blitz in poland. the formula is simple enough. first, choose your victims. an army still living in the past. few planes, fewer tanks, outmoded guns,

very, very involved in history and historiography and commemoration in poland as well. and one of the things that i have to say generally speaking about the region is that history and historiography was completely skewed by the fact that it was controlled for so long by the communists. and i'll just take one example, because i wrote a book about the warsaw uprising. i was talking about it a little bit earlier today. the soldiers of the underground polish home army were simply not allowed to talk about their past. in was simply officially taboo. the fact that the home army had existed and had fought at the end of the second world war, the fact that the warsaw uprising took place, this was just simply not an official subject of discussion. and so, what happened was that when the wall collapsed and the collapse of communism came along, the pendulum swung almost completely the other way. nothing that they did could ever be wrong. every single thing that had been done was wonderful, and it was, in a sense, an outpouring of a kind of reaction to having not been allowed to tal
