September 11th, The Polish Perspective - [Kult America]
- 9 years ago
I remember the first anniversary of September 11th, one year after the horrific terrorist attack took place in New York city. I was in Nowy Targ Poland at the time, visiting with a friend. She switched to show me a tribute that Polish fire fighters were giving to American fire fighters. I couldn’t believe what I was witnessing, a group of Polish fire fighters were singing the American national anthem. I was so touched by their gesture and impressed by how powerfully people could unite in the eyes of tragedy.
Since that time much has changed, America’s reputation has changed, and it made me wonder if this unity still remained, I wondered what Polish people would tell me about that horrific day, do they still care? or has this already become an abstract American disaster?
