The history of Poland can't be put into a small clip like that "American" video.
An excellent book - fictional/non-fictional on Poland is by James A Michener. The families from the Polish lands are fictional - the events and people of the events are not. It is an excellent book to read for a good idea of Polish trails, triumphs and tribulations. It is written before the yoke of Soviet oppression was lifted by Lech Walesa, John Paul 11 and the will of the Polish people. Covers history of Poland from about the 9th Century up to just before the Solidarity Movement started.
