Warsaw

While in Warsaw, we saw an English-language film that depicted the wartime destruction of the city. The film started with pre-war footage of the city- a beautiful, bustling cosmopolitan city. Warsaw was then occupied by the Germans for 5-6 years…there was an uprising of the people that lasted for 60 some-odd days. The uprising was defeated, but Hitler was so angered by it that he ordered the destruction of the city. In fact, he had his generals rate the buildings from 1 to 100 with 1 being of most important to Polish history and culture and those were the buildings they destroyed first. The film then showed what the city looked like after the destruction- unbelievable! 85% of the city’s buildings were destroyed. You saw street after street of nothing more than burned out buildings and ruble! But the Poles came right back and started building their city pretty much from scratch
