Polish Dinner
... nice looking produce on offer. We bought some bits and pieces and plan to return before we move on to spend our remaining Polish currency. From here we made our way to Wawel Castle where we visited the Treasury, Cathedral and Archeological exhibit. More interesting than these is the castle's history as a Nazi headquarters during Germany's ocupation of Krakow. As the city was taken over without a fight there was minimal damage to its ...

Growing Pains + Gains
... cultural capitals, educational institutions, etc. After WWII, that dynamic was gone.
I can't really say why that happened because there is no reason why. It is a fact. In my mind, I tend to think that the war created a sort of vacuum. With Poles only being left to themselves, they passed down a tale of history from their own point of view. Being a country of defeat, I tend to think this was a way to ensure survival - pass down your own history to your kids so they know ...
