The author of the entry asked how much young Germans knew about the victims of World War II. He wrote that their knowledge came from the German education system and included Sinti and Roma as well as homosexuals, for whom monuments were dedicated in the center of Berlin. He then contrasted this with the fate of millions of Polish victims of German aggression and occupation, but did not finish the sentence. #IIWŚ #edukacja #pamięć #DE #PL (translated)

Hanna Shen wrote that critics of Karol Nawrocki's participation in the boxing training with Manny Pacquiao expected a lecture, but saw the president in the ring instead. In her opinion, the recording published by Pacquiao could have reached millions of Filipinos and served as effective promotion for Poland. She reminded that Pacquiao was a former senator and the only world champion in eight weight classes in history. Shen noted that Nawrocki also spoke at the Catholic University of Santo Tomas in Manila, founded by Dominicans in 1611. According to her, the university was older than Harvard and was considered the oldest functioning university in Asia. She wrote that José Rizal studied there, and Nawrocki laid a wreath at his statue. She also mentioned Pope Francis's meeting with young people at the university in 2015. According to Shen, the president spoke to students about the shared experiences of Poland and the Philippines, such as foreign domination and the struggle to preserve identity, as well as about faith, family, solidarity, freedom, and sovereignty. He also recalled the Russian invasion of Ukraine and hybrid attacks on Poland, emphasizing that deterrence requires strength. Shen believed that this message could be understood in a country dealing with Chinese pressures at sea. She added that serious discussions, a lecture, and training with a boxing legend could have been elements of the same diplomatic visit. https://t.co/O6JtNM19h7 #Polska #Filipiny #dyplomacja (translated)

Jarosław Królewski appealed for an end to frequent changes in the national team coaches and a focus on long-term work. He wrote that after the victories of players and coaches, there is excessive praise, while after defeats, the assessment tends to be too harsh. In his opinion, players should be developed also between training camps, and the staff should make use of data regarding their form, development, workloads, and suitability for specific roles. Królewski assessed that the coach should primarily be a leader and motivator, while tactics, analysis, and preparation should be a collaborative effort of the staff, supported by AI and Big Data. He also regarded the creation of a coherent development plan for the upcoming age groups of the national team, at least from U18 level, as important, along with regular cooperation between coaches, analysts, and those responsible for player development. He wrote that in Poland, long-term planning often gives way to immediate reactions: after victories, monuments are built, while after defeats, blame and successors are sought. He added that accountability for results is necessary, but it should not mean constantly starting over. He also appealed for a reduction in disputes and stated that someone else's defeat is not automatically one's own success. Królewski noted that despite the market, capital, talents, and potential of a country with nearly 40 million people, Polish companies with domestic capital tend to spend more on promotional pens than on long-term support for sports, education, technology, or culture. He added that the sporadic presence of Polish clubs in the Champions League is, in his opinion, a problem for the entire ecosystem, not just the owners, coaches, or players. He mentioned Wisła, Legia, Lech, and Raków, emphasizing that regular competition of Polish clubs at the highest European level should be a shared goal. #PiłkaNożna #Sport #Edukacja (translated)

Dziś zatrzymałem się przy Pomniku Katyńskim w Toronto. Katyń to nie tylko historia. To pamięć o konkretnych ludziach, ich rodzinach i o prawdzie, która przez dziesięciolecia była zakłamywana. Dziękuję Polonii w Toronto za to, że ta pamięć jest tutaj wciąż żywa. 🇵🇱 Pamiętamy. https://t.co/z00YZ01CCi #Katyń #Pamięć #Polonia
