All the armies of the world have a special military bugle calls to remember their fallen. One of the most beautiful is the one that is often played in Poland.<\/p>\n
I wanted to remember it today, the day we remember the victims of the Holocaust, because in that genocide Poland lost between 5.47 and 5.67 million of its citizens<\/strong>, among Jews, Catholics and people of other religions and non-believers. To the figures of the atrocities committed by the Germans must be added the deportation of 320,000 Poles by the Soviet occupiers between 1939 and 1941, of whom 150,000 were executed or died en route<\/a>. To this must be added the murder of 22,000 Polish prisoners in Katyn by the Soviets<\/a>. The sum of the crimes committed by both occupants gives a terrible conclusion: Poland was the country that lost the most percentage of its population during World War II.<\/strong><\/p>\n He querido recordarlo hoy, el d\u00eda en que recordamos a las v\u00edctimas del Holocausto, porque en ese genocidio Polonia perdi\u00f3 a entre 5,47 y 5,67 millones de sus ciudadanos, entre jud\u00edos, cat\u00f3licos y gente de otras religiones y no creyentes.<\/strong> A las cifras de las atrocidades cometidas por los alemanes hay que sumar la deportaci\u00f3n de 320.000 polacos por los ocupantes sovi\u00e9ticos entre 1939 y 1941, de los cuales 150.000 fueron ejecutados o murieron en el camino<\/a>. A esto hay que a\u00f1adir el asesinato de 22.000 prisioneros polacos en Katyn a manos de los sovi\u00e9ticos<\/a>. La suma de los cr\u00edmenes cometidos por ambos ocupantes da una conclusi\u00f3n terrible: Polonia fue el pa\u00eds que m\u00e1s porcentaje de su poblaci\u00f3n perdi\u00f3 durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.<\/strong><\/p>\n In Poland, the military remember their fallen comrades and compatriots with a beautiful, slow and simple melody entitled \"\u015apij kolego\" (Sleep Comrade)<\/strong>, which has its origin in a beautiful Polish military song from 1863, with music of Hungarian origin, entitled \"Jakto na wojence \u0142adnie\"<\/strong>, written by the poet W\u0142adys\u0142aw Tarnowski. The seventh verse of the lyrics that was sung in 1916<\/a>, which became very popular with the Polish cavalry during World War I, read this:<\/p>\n \"\u015apij kolego w tym grobie, \"Sleep comrade in this grave, You can hear here the \u201c\u015apij kolego\u201d performed by the Representative Orchestra of the Polish Army<\/strong> during the acts of the 101st anniversary of the recovery of Polish independence on November 11, 2019:<\/p>\n

\nNiech si\u0119 Polska przy\u015bni tobie\".<\/p>\n
\nMay Poland dream to you.\"<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
