A new challenge

Hello, dear Polish friends:

We are students attending 7th, 8th and 9th levels. We are studying European History: The Second World War.
We got to know Poland was invaded by the German troops on 1st September 1939.
The main aim is to go deeper in our knowledge about that terrible event.
Portugal didn’t participate directly in that war. Nevertheless we couldn’t help feeling its negative consequences, especially in the social and economical areas.
We would like you to share with us some Polish points of view about the real effects of that war in Poland.
Here are some questions we thought would be the most interesting for us. If you want to add new ones they’d welcome.

Best wishes
Portuguese students from Ribamar
