#OTD in 1939 πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Germans shot 43 civilians on the market square in Rawa Mazowiecka, #Poland.

#PolishHistory #unREDEEMed #WW2 #history #ReparationsNow #ReparacjedlaPolski #twitteristorians #WW2photography
During the first days of WWII, Rawa was heavily bombed, and its population was severely affected. The Germans entered the town on Sept. 8, 1939, at which time males were gathered in the market square, where the Germans indulged in a sadistic game.
Among other things, many of the dignitaries, mostly aged, were made to run several kilometres in the direction of TomaszΓ³w. In a nearby wood the Germans threatened to kill them.

Throughout his 26-year pontificate, one of #JPII most used phrase was, β€œDo not be afraid”

John Paul II reflected on that phrase in the book Crossing the Threshold of Hope,Β and explained that it was the Holy Spirit who inspired him to say those words on October 22, 1978.
"When, I said the words β€œBe not afraid!” in St. Peter’s Square, I could not fully know how far they would take me and the entire Church. Their meaning came more from the Holy Spirit, the Consoler promised by the Lord Jesus to His disciples, than from the man who spoke them"
"The exhortation 'Be not afraid'should be interpreted as having a very broad meaning. In a certain sense it was an exhortation addressed to all people, an exhortation to conquer fear in the present world situation. Why should we have no fear? Because man has been redeemed by God"

One of #Poland’s megaprojects is nearing completion, and the #Russian invasion of #Ukraine has made it more crucial than initially imagined. A thread 🧡:

On the photo: Vistula Spit canal at night
The new canal that will cut across the Vistula Spit, giving ships access to the πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± port of ElblΔ…g without having to ask πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί for permissioe. It will open 17 Sep. It is unlikely that the date, also the anniversary of the invasion of eastern πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± in '39 by πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί, was chosen at random πŸ˜‰
Moscow is not pleased with the development, arguing that it will allow #NATO warships to enter the Vistula Lagoon without passing by the watchful eyes of πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί military facilities at Baltiysk. An entire campaign was carried out by πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί to spread disinformation gov.pl/web/sluzby-spe…

The Grand Duchy of #Lithuania, united with #Poland in 1386 under the rule of the Jagiellons. In July, 1514, a Muscovite army took SmoleΕ„sk. In response, a great πŸ‡΅πŸ‡±-πŸ‡±πŸ‡Ή force marched out from the region of Wilna to reconquer the city #PolishHistory #history #RussiaIsATerroristState
There were about 35,000 soldiers, consisting of 15,000 πŸ‡±πŸ‡Ή general levy, 17,000 mercenary πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± cavalry & infantry w/large artillery & 3,000 volunteer cavalry consisting of πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± magnates. The Muscovite forces, twice as numerous, were constituted in traditional fashion. @CraigM_Regan

#OTD in 1909 JΓ³zef Noji was born in PΔ™ckowo, Poland. One of the best long-distance runners of the 2nd Polish Republic he was executed by the #Germans in #Auschwitz. #ReparationsForPoland #PolishHistory #Olympics #history #twitteristorians #SportHistory @Olympics
He was an Olympian, multiple champion of πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± in the 5000, 10000 & cross country running but also a tram driver.

Noji could have been registered for the "Volksliste" in the 1930s as he had πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ roots, but he strictly refused, and joined the πŸ‡΅πŸ‡± resistance when #WWII broke out.
He was arrested on 18 Sep'40 and was initially kept at #Pawiak. After a year, he was transported to @auschwitz, where in Feb'43, in death block 11, he was shot in the neck for allegedly smuggling a letter. He was posthumously awarded the Cross of Valor.
