Liwick provocation

In the city ruled by Budka's wife, they will honor the memory of the exiled... Germans.


In Gliwice, in the Bojków district, a group of Northern Rhineland-Westphalia MPs will shortly be hosted. The Germans will honor the memory... Germans expelled from Boykov after planet War II.

- I'm sorry. For the Polish people, the promotion of specified initiatives is at least out of place - says the gliwicki councilman and socialist, Olaf Pest. The school director, whose youth attend the German meeting, sees nothing incorrect with it. Also, the authorities of the city of Gliwice – the authority moving the school – with president Katarzyna Kuczyńska-Budka from the Platform at the head do not see anything incorrect with it, although the president himself will not meet the German delegation.

On 20 October, a group of Northern Rhine-Westphalian MPs will be hosted in Gliwice. They are members of the alleged main committee of the ruling parties, namely the CDU and the Greens. 2 MPs from each organization will come to Poland. They will visit, among others, Bojków, present the territory of Gliwice, in the 1920s a separate town where 99 percent of people voted for belonging to Germany during the Plebiscite and the Silesian Uprising. They will celebrate the memory of the Germans driven out of here after planet War II.

Germany is not the victims, but Poles

After the war, Germany was displaced from the land granted to Poland. However, it should be made clear that Poland had nothing to do with this as a decision-making party. The destiny of the borders and the population was determined in Yalta by the Allies, and their consequence was the commitment of Poland to Stalin's sphere of influence. In Gliwice, the city-symbol that Hitler utilized in 1939 to provoke, giving an excuse to attack Poland – it is Germany who should be the victims today? (...) This is simply a reversal of the roles of the victim and the perpetrator—a situation in which those liable for harm effort to represent themselves as victims

- emphasizes the local portal "Today in Gliwice".

For the Polish people, promoting specified initiatives as visiting German MPs who appear as victims is at least out of place

- does not hide in the conversation with Niezalezna.pl Olaf Pest, City Council Councillor in Gliwice from Law and Justice and associate of the GP Club in Gliwice.

- I'm sorry. Unfortunately, this visit fits into a practice that has been increasingly visible in Gliwice for over a year, where different pro-German and German environments are increasingly visible. late we have celebrated, for example, Cultural Heritage Days. Their message was that Gliwice was a town... German. There were shown 2 districts of the city and a neighbouring gliovia slavice, where a German number occurs. And that was the cultural heritage of Gliwice!

Additionally, at the end of September The Municipal Public Library, run by the city of Gliwice, together with the Association of German Social and Cultural Associations in Poland, carried out the task "German home of Culture". Within this framework, a lecture was organised on how “by the deficiency of knowing of the past of Silesia” the symbols of German presence in our region are destroyed. The task was financed by - Polish! - Ministry of Interior and Administration and national Ministry of Interior and Homeland.


Councilman Pest points out that as a nation we are very experienced by Germany. Millions of Poles were murdered and we were not even paid reparations.

The reception of German MPs and the organisation of meetings with young people, especially in Boykov, where there are descendants of Poles expelled from our east lands which have been taken from us - is in my opinion - something absurd and unacceptable. alternatively of specified initiatives, energy and public resources should be redirected to shaping patriotic attitudes, a sense of work for Poland – our common homeland. They build in a young generation the cognition that freedom and independency are not given erstwhile and for all, but they require care and care all day. Self-government, investing in specified programmes, not only strengthens the community, but besides contributes to the sustainable improvement of the full state

– concludes Councillor Pest.

What does president Kuczyńska-Budka say?

The authorities of Gliwice, the president here is Katarzyna Kuczyńska-Budka from the Platform, they see nothing incorrect with visiting German MPs. But Kuczyńska-Budka herself will not participate in the events in Boykov.

- I'm sorry. The city of Gliwice is not the organizer or co-organiser of this visit - reserves Wioleta Niziolek-Aądło, p.o. manager of the department of promotion and social communication of the UM in Gliwice, erstwhile we ask whether the case is not controversial. The organizers of the visit of the German delegation are the advanced Silesian home Foundation in Ratingen and the Polish-German Cooperation home in Gliwice.

- I'm sorry. The coalition faction's fellow Members want to mark their memory on a joint journey. At the cemetery in Bojków, flowers will be laid at the graves of 2 Westerplatts, at the collective grave of the German inhabitants of Schönwald, today's Gliwice-Bojków, murdered by the Red Army and at the memorial of the victims of the Auschwitz Death March. At Cistercian Square, the boycotts organize a commemoration of the 80th anniversary of Schoenwaldian resettlement, consisting of laying flowers under the monument. But without celebrations or speeches

- cuts off a clerk.

Liwick provocation

There is another aspect to the full case. It was the fake attack on the German radio station in Gliwice (then Gleiwitz) that utilized Nazi propaganda as an excuse to launch an invasion of Poland and thus until the outbreak of planet War II.

The main intent of the provocation was to throw work for starting the war on Poland. Adolf Hitler wanted to make the impression that Germany was the victim of Polish aggression, which was expected to justify the attack in the eyes of German public opinion and discourage Polish allies – France and large Britain – from complying with allied commitments.

The operation, supervised by Reinhard Heydrich, head of the Reich's Central safety Office (RSHA), was straight carried out by a tiny branch of SS officers commanded by Alfred Naujocks. Around 20:00 armed attackers in civilian clothes, pretending to be Polish Silesian insurgents, invaded the radio station. They terrorized her German crew and tried to broadcast a message in Polish.


For method reasons and deficiency of discernment of the attackers, they managed to talk through a storm microphone just a fewer words that reached local radio listeners: "Note, this is Gliwice. Radio station is in Polish hands...".

To make the "Polish attack" credible, The Germans brought Francis Honiok, a 43-year-old resident of a close village, Polish activist and Silesian insurgent, arrested the day before. He was drugged, shot, and his body left on the scene as evidence that the attackers were Poles. Francis Honiok is present considered the first victim of planet War II.

The German delegation will come to Gliwice and... talk to the youth. It's a past lesson.


Next week, Gliwice will visit a delegation from the Bundestag. Officially, the intent of the visit is “to commemorate the displacement of Germans after planet War II” and to meet young people. In practice? It is hard not to get the impression that we are dealing with another effort to rewrite past into a German prayer.


Written by Anna Zyzek


The delegation will visit the grave of residents of the erstwhile Schönwald (now Bojków) who died in 1945 at the time of the Red Army's entry. The commemoration of these victims was included in the programme as part of the German communicative on "exiles". For years, this subject has appeared in the German historical discourse, frequently without mention to the causes, i.e. the aggression of the 3rd Reich and war crimes against the population of Poland, the Czech Republic, Ukraine or Yugoslavia.

"History Lesson"

As is well known - Poland was not liable for the displacement of the German population. These decisions were taken by the Allies in Yalta and Potsdam as a consequence of the German assault and business of Europe. Nevertheless, German speeches frequently deficiency a broader context. As a result, a sign of equality between the perpetrator and the victim is being attempted.


As part of the visit, the Bundestag delegation will besides meet students of 1 of the Gliwice advanced Schools. This is expected to be a past lesson dedicated to post-war resettlement. However, it is hard to anticipate hard topics to appear there, specified as the issue of war reparations, the demolition of the Germans in Poland or the deficiency of settlements for plundering cultural and economical assets.

Who organized this?

The programme of the visit besides includes Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, Schindler Museum, Wawel, Wieliczka and Wadowice. These are symbolic places, crucial for Polish and European historical memory. However, visitation itself does not replace political and moral responsibility, nor does it invalidate outstanding commitments.

The Gliwices, even though they host part of the visit, were not organization to her organization. Information about the planned events reached the city late. president Gliwice’s spokesperson pointed out that any commemoration should be based on facts and respect for all victims — not just the chosen ones.

The visit of German parliamentarians fits into the broader trend of Germany's actions in fresh years: building narratives about "German victims" while marginalising responsibility, reparation and historical accounting.

Renovation erstwhile the full planet looks at Warsaw...


[...]

Piano Competition. Chopin can give the Polish capital large benefits as it belongs to the most celebrated and recognized in the world. Chopin's music has conquered the planet for decades, especially Asia (mainly China and Japan), where it is even the object of worship. And the competition itself is very popular, which inspires thousands of people to visit the Polish capital during its duration, as well as before and after. A monument of superb music in the Royal Bathrooms is besides very popular. It can be said that Chopin is the ambassador of Warsaw not only during the competition and is inactive doing a large occupation for the capital. The promotion of Warsaw as the city of Chopin, especially at the time of the competition, could be a gold vein and a form of promotion of extraordinary value besides intangible.

Just before the 19th edition of the competition, however, it was decided to carry out a “refurbishment and revitalization” of the surroundings of the Chopin monument, the preservation of the colic and the surrounding monument of greenery. Apparently, an “urgent intervention” was needed, due to the fact that everything would have gone to hell. That is why this fragment of the Royal Łazienki was turned into a construction site, and in a powerfully grandfatherly version, i.e. with ugly fences, plates, boards and curtains that isolating the work site. And the master's statue itself was wrapped in any kind of sheet. The feeling is terrible. And not much before 2 October 2025 changed the assurances that the tarp would be taken down during the competition so participants could take pictures.

The renovation “must” besides take place erstwhile competition auditions are held, as it was said to have been made only in stages. The renovation was co-financed by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage as part of the task: ‘Revitalisation of the historical Royal Łazienki Garden in the surroundings of the Chopin Monument (refurbishment of the blinds, maintenance of stone elements in this monument's wheel, revalorization of selected green elements)’. Why the renovation could not be done in May, June or July 2025. No 1 says, although it would seem apparent and the most sensible. But apparently, what happens in Warsaw cannot make any sense. It can only be senseless and idiotic.

The rule of precedence of nonsense and idiocy in Warsaw confirms that Around the National Philharmonic, where the auditions are held and there will be final concerts, the best is the reconstruction of the 4th of streets.

Again, it's a part of junk, but it most likely couldn't have been done before. For this, roadmen declared that during the competition there would be no loud demolition work in this area. Well, luck is amazing. You should be hard on your head to make those two embarrassing renovations around the most crucial places during the contest. Chopin's doing just like this.

It is besides essential to be no little rough on the head to boast that in 2026, in the centenary of the unveiling of Chopin's monument in the Royal Bathrooms, everything will be lovely, serving as the capital's business card. What kind of business card is Warsaw associated with 2 renovations in 2025? Doesn't anybody think at City Hall anymore? Were all the calendars burned there and nobody knew that there would be a Chopin competition from October 2 to 23?

For Rafał Trzaskowski in Warsaw everything is so underdeveloped. But possibly that's due to the fact that he's underdone. Not only as a twice-highly excited for the presidency of Poland (wherein something connects the strategy of the presidential run with the renovation of the monument and its surroundings in the Bathrooms and streets around the National Philharmonic). During the 19th Fryderyk Chopin global Piano Competition, it can be mentioned that Rafał Trzaskowski is besides an underdeveloped pianist. If he'd been extracurricular, possibly he'd have competed with them. Chopin.

The conditions of the current president of the capital were favourable. As he confessed in his work under the unpretentious title “Rafał”, guests of his father, outstanding musician Andrzej Trzaskowski, were “all European jazzmen who came to Poland for concerts or Jazz Jamboree festival”. "Disputes on Strawiński's superiority over Rachmaninov" were conducted. But the stigma of the underachievement made that, although “there were instruments in the house, there was a piano, my dad showed me how to play, but I did not draw to it.” Amazing: Dad showed you how to play, and Rafal did nothing about it. And then he didn't do quite a few another things. But he does repairs erstwhile he shouldn't. But seemingly the rule of nonsense and idiotic commitment.
