The Girl Who Acted Right

What a moving story - and what an incredibly courageous and ethical young woman she was to defy those despicable men with such bravery.
Thank you for the link,Marta. I really appreciated finding out this history.

Thank you so much, Deborah!
Inka was only one of many but eventually became a role model for young people joining now the Territorial Defense Forces.
Unfortunately there are still people here (in Poland) who hate her. Her grave and memorials/statues are repeatedly desecrated by evildoers (wannabe communists and leftists) who can't stand somebody so pure, so brave, so patriotic.

Superbe hommage à cette femme de conviction !

Thank you, Boro!
I wish I could add a translation of the lyrics of the song "The Underground Army Returns" because they are special too.

They did not abandon God and arms
at the meeting point of two occupations
Angry posters shouted about them:
the ignoble dwarfs of reaction
They could not accept
the red pestilence
And they believed in the return of the Polish Borderlands
Waiting for orders
A nation that wants to be free
must fight for freedom
To fight uprisings, chase traitors away
Otherwise it can do nothing
The people's government proved
by acting decisively
That it knows how to exterminate people
no worse than the Nazis
Rotmistrz Pilecki survived Auschwitz
died from a secret police bullet
Under this regime, the cursed soldiers
had no human rights
A nation that wants to be free
must fight for freedom
To make uprisings, to chase away traitors
Otherwise it can do nothing
In wolf-friendly thickets of forests
They comforted each other
That a third war is just a matter of time
and that Stalin would lose it
They believed that the post-Yalta order
to ashes of the post-Stalin order
They believed that their lives in hardship
is a historic rationality
A nation that wants to be free
must fight for freedom
To make uprisings, to chase traitors away
Otherwise it can do nothing
Sentenced to the East by the will of the West
Fought for independence
Thus they saved the nation's honour
And many of them died
We will remember them constantly
It is our homework
Today the underground army returns to history in all its glory
the underground army returns
A nation that wants to be free
Must fight for freedom
Make uprisings, chase away traitors
Otherwise it can do nothing
A nation that wants to be free
Must fight for freedom
Make uprisings, chase traitors away
otherwise it means nothing

Excellent!
Where have you found them???

What an amazing story and heroine! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you, Andy!
Words from Inka's last message to her Grandma (about acting right) are now repeated on very special occasions like when a civilian saves other people's lives risking his own.

thank you for the story.

That's just one story of many...
To be remembered...

Cette histoire ne peut qu'inspirer le respect !

Merci beaucoup, Dominique!

Poland has suffered so much through many, many years -- yet the Spirit of Poland remains.

Thank you for the photo and the history. Visited all the links.

You live in a very strong country, Marta.

Thank you so much, Peggy!
Thank you for visiting the links.

Poland stays strong because we value our history and we are constantly trying to learn from it. Not that we haven't been making mistakes but who doesn't?

Terrible histoire.

Quand on pense que le communisme était censé représenter la liberté (par rapport aux systèmes médiévaux), quel gâchis ! Le vrai communisme qui était l'espoir de beaucoup de gens n'a jamais existé.

Hear, hear!

what a moving and sad story !!

Yes, it is...
Thank you, Gabi!

I knew her story.
Litlle, great woman.

You did? That's extraordinary!
Yes, she was...

Yes!
During the WWII there are been many young people like Inka killed by nazists.
Lepa Radic, Emanuele Artom, Helmuth Hübener, Masha Bruskina, just to mention a few.
There is more to learn from these young people.
