Helping others
Considering the history of many other nations, one can see that Poles have continuously played important roles throughout history: Tadeusz Kosciuszko and Kazimierz Pulaski joined the fight for the independence of the United States of America in the 18th century. Ernest Malinowski helped build a railway line in the Peruvian Andes and Bronislaw Pilsudski is highly respected in Japan for his ethnographic works. It is not widely known that Joseph Conrad, the famed conscience of world literature, was born and educated in Poland before he set off on his quest for adventure at sea. During the Second World War, the allied forces were reinforced by Polish airmen who played a crucial role in the Battle of Britain. Polish mathematicians helped break the Enigma code, giving the Allies access to the secrets of the Third Reich.
