January uprisings of 1863 , one of my possible family members sent to siberia
and I would like to know what or where I would find information on Siberia about
the polish citizens who were sent there.

I think I have to say now, that long before Germany had a hold on Poland, Russia
was doing some of their own dirty work, which I didnt have a clear understanding
about. Reading the names of those who were exiled it has enlighted my thoughts
on agreeing with those who say Russia should owe up!!

let me also refrase this as well, I believe like others who have mentioned this before
that Russia's Govt should Apologize and do something to show they are the good
nation now after all the crap they put poland thru as well as Germany, what would
it hurt to become closer to a nation they had taken so much from?

"Big boys" like Russia or USA don't apologize. They don't have to. It's ignorant on their part though.

I am not really convinced that the government of Russia is as good they would have you believe. If they are assassinating their own journalists today, why would they go out of their way to apologize to the Polish people. I agree that the treatment of people over a century ago was a shame, and repeated again throughout history. Russia has no reason to apologize today.

Well, what I meant to say, was by oweing up, making all good, they do owe Poland
something. but i guess its easy to forget. and, hey, BTW hello, USA doesnt
take over and keep the land. Russia and Germany Wiped Poland off the map for
a while. dont see the USA doing that now do ya?

Yes during war, there is casulties, what about 911? or that dont count?

we didnt come there first, remember that, we were at home, they opened up
on us.

we dont go without good reasons, and we dont shove people in cattle cars
tell them they are going to siberia to be re-educated on communism and
starve them to death while making them work till their death in sub zero
weather now do we????

your argument has no weight.. get back to topic.

Patrycja ,

for example what did the Warsaw uprising accomplish? nothing

The Polish troops resisted the German-led forces until October 2 (63 days in total). Losses on the Polish side amounted to 18,000 soldiers killed, 25,000 wounded and over 250,000 civilians killed, mostly in mass executions conducted by advancing German troops. Casualties on the German side amounted to over 17,000 soldiers killed and 9,000 wounded. During the urban combat—and after the end of hostilities, when German forces acting on Hitler's orders burned the city systematically, block after block—an estimated 85% of the city was destroyed.

the irish rebels were outnumbered by the British. They won. Im not rubbing it in your face. Just saying being outnumbered is not the excuse.

It can be plans they made were not as good, or the enemy had better plans etc. Being outnumbered is not the hinge the door swings on (if you get me there)
