| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Poland |
 | | By the leading nobles Boleslaw was thoroughly hated as a despot; the masses of the people murmured under the burden of incessant wars; the clergy opposed the energetic reformation of the Church, which the king was carrying on, their opposition being particularly directed against Gregory's decree enforcing the celibacy of the clergy. | | | The Trinitarians in Poland regarded it as their chief task to ransom prisoners from the Turks and Tatars, for which purpose they devoted, according to the rule of their order, one-third of all they received. | | | Lithuania and the Ukraine were under the power of the Czar; Poland had been conquered by the Swedes; Prussia was occupied by the Brandenburgers. |

| | Poland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Of all the countries involved in the war, Poland lost the highest percentage of its citizens: over 6 million perished, half of them Polish Jews. | | | The shift forced the migration of millions of people – Poles, Germans, Ukrainians, Jews. | | | In 1956 the régime became more liberal, freeing many people from prison and expanding some personal freedoms. |

| | Poland (11/05) |
| | Poland today is ethnically almost homogeneous (98% Polish), in contrast with the World War II period, when there were significant ethnic minorities--4.5 million Ukrainians, 3 million Jews, 1 million Belorussians, and 800,000 Germans. | | | Poland's top national security goal is to further integrate with NATO and other west European defense, economic, and political institutions while modernizing and reorganizing its military. | | | With the collapse of the ruble-based COMECON trading bloc in 1990, Poland scrambled to reorient its trade. |

| | By the early 1960s Gomułka was tightening the party's hold on Poland; intellectual freedom was curbed, the church again was a target of government polemics, political rhetoric was infused with an anti-Semitic nationalistic fervor, and renewed attempts were made to have peasants join state groups. | | | John's reign came to be known in Polish history as the "Deluge." During his rule discontent in Ukraine flared in the rebellion of the Cossacks under Bohdan Chmielnicki. | | | About one third of newly created Poland was made up of ethnic Germans, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Jews, and Lithuanians, and these minorities were generally treated inequitably. |

| | It was Poland's religious tolerance beginning in the 13th Century that attracted a large population of European Jews, who later sadly fell victims to the Holocaust. | | | Legend says that a beautiful mermaid asked the fisherman Wars and his wife Sawa to build a city on the River Vistula, and thus was born the city of Warsaw. | | | But much of what are considered typical Jewish dishes today have their roots in the dishes of Poland and Eastern Europe, and the passion for warmth and hospitality of Poles around the world graciously extends its foods well beyond its borders. |

| | The nation of Poland suffered a tremendous tragedy after World War 3, when the Lithuanian army repatriated the Polish city of Wilno and forced the inhabitants to return to their motherland. | | | The resulting overpopulation caused a famine of unseen proportions which claimed all of the displaced residents of Wilno. | | | Poland is also regarded as Europe's Mexico, which means that hordes of polish emigrants venture out to far corners of Europe. |

| | One of the largest of the countries of Eastern Europe, Poland was the first of these countries to liberate its government from the Communist domination endured for 45 years. | | | It was the relegalization of the trade union Solidarity and the agreement to hold partially free parliamentary elections that appeared to have opened the floodgates of radical reforms that spilled over into other countries of the Soviet bloc. | | | In 1989, a year of drama unmatched in modern history, government after government collapsed in Eastern Europe and politically transformed not only Poland but also East Germany, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, and the Soviet Union itself.* |
