Poland: Turn of History Through Camera Lenses | Global Research
The story tells about the period of Polish
history comprising the 1920-1930s. Those were the days of rampant Polish
nationalism. The attempts of ethnic minorities – Ukrainians,
Belarusians, Jews, Russians and Lithuanians – to preserve their
national identity were quelled in the cruelest way. The regime of Juzef
Pilsudski and its supports were reluctant to respect the basic
minorities’ rights. It had greatly weakened Poland making it doomed to
collapse as soon as Germany military delivered the first strikes. It
suffered defeat not only due to military superiority of Wehrmacht over
the Polish armed forces but rather because of internal divisions tearing
up the Polish society from inside – only few were ready to offer
staunch resistance to defend the country which was more like stepmother
than motherland.
