Coca-Cola, fast food, and sugary drinks have been easily accessible since the 1960s, if not earlier, yet skyrocketing obesity rates—especially among children—are a recent phenomenon. Why is that?

Faraon (1965), first Polish film on BD4K

Watching this classic film again is an outstanding experience. The colors are rich and the details are sharp—I can relive Ancient Egypt by admiring the intricate jewelry, the texture of the sand, and the sweat on the actors' faces. Mind-blowing. I hope more Polish classics get digitally restored and rescanned in 4K! Lack of HDR does not take away from the overall good experience.

Unfortunately, I can't take screenshots on my PS5, but I found some links from someone else:

18-year old murdered protester during 1970 Protests in Poland

The protests were sparked by a sudden increase in the prices of food and other everyday items while already low wages remained stagnant. Strikes were put down by the Polish People's Army and the Citizen's Militia(Communist Police), resulting in at least 44 people killed and more than 1,000 wounded.

"Star Wars" film poster, Poland 1979

Poland was one of the first communist countries to officially release Star Wars in March 1979, followed closely by Hungary in August of the same year. Most other Eastern Bloc nations had to wait until the late 1980s or even 1990 to see the movie in theaters. This delayed rollout highlighted the shifting landscape of cultural influences behind the Iron Curtain.

Daycare tram in 1949 Wrocław, Poland

In 1949, Wrocław introduced a unique, mobile daycare tram (tram-nursery) to transport and care for the children of local transit workers. This innovative project was created to solve the severe shortage of childcare facilities in the war-devastated city.

The mobile nursery accommodated up to 36 children. Parents were strictly forbidden from boarding to maintain sanitary conditions; instead, qualified nurses took care of the children during the commute.

The tram departed at 6:00 AM from the Słowiańska street depot, traveling through Jedności Narodowej, Nowowiejska, Piastowska, and Sienkiewicza streets to the Zalesie loop. There, the children were walked to a stationary nursery in a nearby villa, reversing the journey in the afternoon.

Asian slave labourers in wartime Breslau 1943

For some unknown reason to me, some couldn't believe that Asians were enslaved by Germans... I think education deficiency in schools regarding WW2 is staggering and shocking.

Source watermarked, I recommend that gallery. Czech forced labourer took awesome and rare photos.
