Show Notes

Welcome to our new episode of Ethnic Policy podcast, where we discuss and discover topics around ethnicities, ethnic conflicts, and minority politics around the world. Ethnic policy is an entity concerned with identity and ethnic related studies.

September 3rd this year marked the 81st anniversary of the breakout of the second world war. Two days prior to that an exactly on September 1st 1939, Nazi Germany invaded Poland. Throughout the war Poland will lose roughly 6 million citizens, half of which were Jews. 6 million are estimated to be 17% of the entire population. Today I discuss with Alina Nowobilska, the horrors of the invasion, the uprisings and the post liberation Poland, from an ethnic studies perspective.

Alina Nowobilska is a historian specializing in Poland during the second World War, co-host of History Hack, and currently writing a book on Poland in World War II. You can find her on Twitter here.
