Charlie Chaplin had a Polish girlfriend (and Polish People built Hollywood) - [Kult America]

Did you realize that some of the most prominent names in Hollywood came from Poland? In fact, before the second world war, heroes such as the warner brothers, Maxfactor, and Poles established MGM.

👉 Your Roots in Poland
This episode is brought to you in partnership with "Your Roots in Poland." A team of leading Polish genealogical experts who recapture your ancestry and create an unforgettable experience that will connect you to your heritage. Our main goal is not just to give you facts but to historically introduce you to your Polish ancestors - answering the questions of not only where and when they lived but who they were.

Their family, occupation, everyday life, home, travels, and dreams... Apart from that, we will organize and take you on the actual trip to walk in the footsteps of your ancestors, translate historical documents and even check if you are eligible to apply for Polish/EU passport/citizenship.
