Today:
Welcome to this week's instalment of /r/AskHistorians' Sunday Digest (formerly the Day of Reflection). Nobody can read all the questions and answers that are posted here, so in this thread we invite you to share anything you'd like to highlight from the last week - an interesting discussion, an informative answer, an insightful question that was overlooked, or anything else.
Let’s take a moment to once more show some love for some interesting but overlooked questions. HOWEVER, I also have a question myself for all you fine users. I’ve been collating some interesting questions for two months ish now and I’m interested to hear your thoughts. Do you like seeing it? Does it change your question asking/reading? Has it made you as a reader feel like taking a crack at a question? Let me know!
/u/bobdebildar asked Did the polish home army remain active in soviet occupied territory following the German retreat?
/u/J2quared wanted to know about Does Canada have a similar history with blackface as the United States?

Tuesday Trivia: In 1440, the queen of Hungary and one of her ladies-in-waiting stole the Hungarian crown—the actual, physical crown—to save the throne for her son. Helene Kottanner broke into the vault, snatched the crown, and escaped across the frozen Danube with a sled. Let’s talk about ROYALTY! The next one is themed around Murder Most Foul!
