Już wiem (Now I Know) / walc angielski z f-mu „Parada rezerwistów" (English waltz from the film comedy „Parade of the Reservists") Muz. Władysław Dan, Tekst: Emanuel Schlechter & Szer-Szeń, Columbia 1934 (Polish) NOTE: This upload is my celebration of the great Polish anniversary: Day Of Independence, of the 11th November 1918. As an official day of anniversary, it was established in pre-war Poland in memory of recreation of the Independent Poland after the 1st World War. Before it, for almost 150 years Poland was divided and occupied by three neighbouring powers: tzarist Russia, Prussia and the Hapsburg Empire. The collapse of these three absolutist monarchies meant for many nations in Central Europe their release from the foreign domain. In Poland, however, the struggle for freedom had to continue until August 1920, when the newly formed Polish Army had victoriously confronted the enormous bolshevik invasion on Poland, on the fields north-east from Warsaw, during the famous Warsaw Battle also called The Miracle on the Vistula River. The new life, alas, was given to Poland only for 19 years more. In September 1939 two greatest monsters of the mankind history, Hitler and Stalin grabbed Poland again and tore it into two bleeding pieces. Betrayed by Western allies, having lost 1/3rd of its population including almost all of intellectual elites and more than a half of its historical territory, and given back under the communist regime for another half of century, Poland never recovered from those nearly deadly wounds. Now, after re-establishment of the independent Polish state in 1989, the difficult process of re-creation of the Polish identity continues. Still exist the deadly dangers of enslavement of the whole nations by Putin's gas-policy, enforced by the shot-sightedness and egoism of EU politicians as well as incompetence of officials of the Brussels' management. Germano-French lust for domination over others within the apparently democratic EU structure adds to all the threats. And last but not least - the overwhelming and still increasing public debt based upon EU fiscal managers' creative accounting... All that forms rather bleak picture for the future. Tola MANKIEWICZÓWNA: was one of the mostly loved Polish actresses and singers. Always smiling, good hearted, with excellent musical education at Warsaw Conservatory, in classes of piano and of singing; completely deprived of the big star's whims and fancies, she gained a stabile artistic position, which guaranteed her high popularity until 1939. When the war broke out, a nightmare begun for that delicate and modest celebrity. Married to a well known Warsaw lawyer Tadeusz Raabe, she suddenly had to watch the bombardment of their apartment, with the complete archives of her artistic career and arresting by Gestapo her beloved husband, who was of a Jewish origin. Separated by the Ghetto wall, with no place to live she travelled to Białystok, where she could maintained herself on the minute incomes from her occassional performances. She also unsuccessfully tried to get out her husband from the nazi ghetto in Warsaw. In 1942 having lost contact with him, she ruturned to Warsaw, where she continueds searches and worked as waitress in the Actresses' Cafe / a self-maintained little bar in Warsaw, where where found a job and a friendly environment most of the actresses who denied collaboration with official stages administered by German administration. She survived the Warsaw Uprising of August-Oct 1944 and total demolition of Warsaw. In 1945, in a ruined city Mankiewiczówna tried to build a new life upon her prewar popularity. But she was confronted with the completely new system, which was run by the soulless Moscow-oriented officials. Nothing could be worse for them than Mankiewiczówna's artistic genre: the upper-class lady from prewar high-life society. She performed, where she could, e.g. in a sports-club near Warsaw. Yet, she also had moments of enormous joy, when she regained her husband, who had been living through the Holocaust in a shelter arranged for him by Polish friends. Employed for some time in the Warsaw Operetta for the second row roles, Mankiewiczówna also tried to gain the pension rights by working in a post office. In early 1970s, after death of her husband, she finally closed her artistic career. She died in Warsaw in 1985, having had donated her husband's collection of the Delft porcelain to the Polish Kings Castle in Cracow.
