I never checked his identity document,” Kobus told Glos Wielkopolski earlier this week and he has an Israeli passport and a son in the army I believed that he is who he says he is because of how he looked and that he was able to pray in Hebrew and knew Jewish customs.” Niszczota led activities about Judaism for children and young people He also participated in ecumenical prayer services with Polish bishops and held interfaith meetings with priests and imams on behalf of the Ponzan Jewish community It is not known why he engaged in such an elaborate deception JTA has documented Jewish history in real-time for over a century Keep our journalism strong by joining us in supporting independent I accept the Privacy Policy Alicja was due to represent Poland at the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam with her song “Empires” Alicja has said that she wanted to highlight some of the crises the world faces Men build great empires through their work and toil But it’s these same people who can actually tear it down through their indifference to the environment National broadcaster TVP chose her through the Szansa na Sukces selection show She topped both the public and jury vote in the final We have compiled 10 facts you need to know about Alicja Alicja Szemplińska — more commonly known as Alicja — is from Ciechanów With a population of just 44,209 inhabitants the small north-central city is best known for its historic monuments other famous Ciechanów citizens include the supermodel Kasia Struss and the popstar Doda Don’t let her mature voice or showbiz career fool you. Alicja is only 17 and is still in school. In one interview, she suggested that a move to Warsaw could be on the cards after she’s done she has to make tough decisions like whether she should stick with science or focus more on music “I devoted myself to biology and chemistry throughout middle and high school I saw that it’s hard to combine hours of sitting at the piano and hours of learning biology and chemistry I have to listen to my intuition and what plays in my soul: music learning is also important and must be continued But I don’t know if in the direction I was thinking initially” After two years of non-qualification, Poland overhauled its selection method for 2020. In doing so, it decided to use the already popular Szansa Na Sukces format to find its artist and song. The show’s final saw Alicja compete against Kasia Dereń and Eurovision 2019 alum Albert Cerny. The result was down to a combination of public and jury votes. Alicja gained maximum points from both. A post shared by ALICJA (@aliciaszemplinska) on Feb 23 Many have compared Alicja’s deep voice to that of the great soul and R&B divas, including the late Whitney Houston. And that’s hardly surprising given that’s the type of music she was brought up on “I think I got infected by my mother who is a big fan of Whitney Houston I had a slightly lower voice than most girls my age It also turned me in this direction” “Empires” is the work of Patryk Kumór Patryk Kumór was involved with both of Poland’s Junior Eurovision winning entries Laurell Barker has penned multiple Eurovision entries including Luca Hanni’s “She Got Me” S!sters’ “Sister” and Michael Rice’s “Bigger Than Us” Frazer Mac also worked on “She Got Me” while Dominic Buczkowski-Wojtaszek contributed to Viki Gabor’s “Superhero” Thus far, both of Alicja’s singles have been written for her by others. But like many of her peers, the singer is keen to eventually write her own material. Between lyrics and melody, Alicja says that she’d feel more comfortable with the former “I’m not a great composer at the moment Although even with the help of chords alone you can create cool things with the piano” She fills her notebook with verses and rhymes in her spare time As of 6 April, Poland’s TVP has yet to reveal its plans for Eurovision 2021. However, Alicja has publicly said that she would love a second crack of the whip at participating Replying to a fan on Instagram she said “I would be thrilled if I could participate in [Eurovision 2021] and represent Poland!” Do you think Alicja should sing for Poland next year Read more Eurovision 2020 artist facts here. I thought that she is going to have matura exams in May as she finishes high school next year Simply because of this whole Corona-mess TVP doesn’t really think about Eurovision But if He doesn’t agree Alicja is a good option I hope Alicja is chosen to represent Poland next year and since she can’t use “Empires” next year this is a opportunity to compose an even better song to highlight her voice
