The most valuable item is Mickiewicz`s diary. Firstly, he demanded that Poles had to give back the German collection called Berlinka (German manuscripts and music notations of famous German composers). Poles refused. Finally, the collector changed his mind.

16 cent. - Poland and Lithuania in Union
Poland,Lithuania and Ukraine mark historic union
By DPA
Jul 1, 2009
Warsaw - The presidents of Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine marked the 440th anniversary of the signing of a historical pact in 1596 which united the three nations for more than 200 years.
The Union of Lublin was an agreement between Poland and Lithuania that merged the two nations into a single state. It was signed partly as protection against Russia, and partly to protect the union after Poland's and Lithuania's mutual king left no heirs.
Ukraine at the time was partly under Lithuanian control, partly under Russia.
The Union of Lublin lasted until the second half of the 18th century, when the Polish Lithuania Commonwealth was partitioned by Russia, Prussia and Austria.
The presidents uncovered a plaque saying, 'From the Union of Lublin to the European Union,' as mass was held to mark the union that created one of Europe's largest states.
Archbishop Jozef Zycinski said that in a culture dominated by consumption, people must remember the roots of Europe. |

I will work to be better in days to come, help me, I know it is hard to forgive the Germans and Russians for what they did to Poland, but I am working on it. Mike I accidentally bumped into this map and I jumped at an idea.  Unsatisfied with the distribution of influence in Europe and the world, Germans started WW1 in the West and in result lost these territiories in the East, mostly to Poland:  They still kept this.  Then, frustrated by WW1 outcome, Germans started WW2. This time they were wiser, they began in the East first, but the result was as deplorable as before - they lost even more land, most to Poland again.  Germany today  Mike, be more lenient with Germans. They paid a price for their follies and crimes. |

Thanks for telling us about Poland & Germany histories back then. I click your website about Poland. Sorry, I do not read Polish. How can I find English? Now this explains more about how we got German last name. German People are telling us where to look for our ancestors in Poland. For example: Last name XXXXX were added ski, zki and czk. I think you all know what I am saying. Some of us do not look Polish but German or other nationalities. No big deal how we look. Nice stories. I really love it. |

I am 100% Polish on both sides, and love it, and know for sure.
But we all can't be Polish, can we. Some have to be Germans and some Russians, but not me, and I am sure.

Bo, I think that your observation on Germany loosing more land each time they go aggresive is very excellent and insightful.The most important part is they have at last noticed it.

Now, instead of military aggression, they have been implementing economic expansion in order to conquer new lands. ;D ;D ;D |

We just need to keep the fair play rule applicable. Okey, it is difficult in EU, I admit ;D ;D ;D ;D ... but even harder outside... |
