I am super pissed off because I just left a lecture, where this lady from Germany,

the lecturer, asks the class if we know Marie Curie.

I honestly felt a knot in my stomach.

I have already corrected a few teachers on this. First of all, people abroad,

and especially the Germans, should learn to say Maria Skłodowska- Curie,

and if they pronounce it wrong, so be it. That is their problem.

At least everyone will know that she is… that she is a Polish woman,

and not, excuse me, someone, I do not know, from France.

And it is the same as when they take away Chopin and Mickiewicz from us.

It really annoys me. Especially since it is coming from the mouths of Germans.

And you know what, this is such a falsifying of history,

because they would most gladly take away all important Poles from us,

and above all, they want to… in my opinion, it is like this now,

they are even taught that way. That you know, that it was Marie Curie.

That she was not a Polish woman who did something incredible for the world,

but just someone else. And they want, in this way,

even with such words… they take away dignity from Poles,

in the sense that…

well, for sure such an achievement could not be by a Polish woman,

only by a Frenchwoman. I am so pissed off.

And maybe for people it is not that deep,

but I often encounter such situations abroad, that is why I am saying this,

because it personally hurts me as a Polish woman.

Original transcript (Polish)

Jestem mega wkurzona, bo właśnie wyszłam z wykładu, pyta się w klasie czy znamy Marie Curie. Jak mnie normalnie ścisnęło w środku. Już paru nauczycieli w ogóle poprawiałam. Przynajmniej wszyscy będą wiedzieć, że tam jest... że to jest polska kobieta, a nie przepraszam, ktoś nie wiem, z Francji.

I tak samo jak zabierają nam Chopina i Mickiewicza. Mega mnie to drażni. Szczególnie, że to pada z ust Niemców. I wiecie co, to jest takie zakłamywanie historii, bo oni najchętniej by nam zabrali wszystkich ważnych Polaków, a przede wszystkim oni chcą... moim zdaniem to jest już tak, oni są nauczeni nawet. Że to nie była Polka, która zrobiła coś niesamowitego dla świata,

tylko ktoś po prostu inny. no na pewno takie osiągnięcie to nie Polka, tylko Francuzka. Jestem tak wkurzona. I może dla ludzi to nie jest takie głębokie, ale ja się tu spotykam często z takimi sytuacjami za granicą,
