3 step Warsaw Uprising


1st August 1944 - Warsaw Uprising began in order to liberate Warsaw from Germans and don't allow Soviet Union establish communism in Poland

Warsaw Uprising and Warsaw Ghetto Uprising they were 2 different events, Warsaw Uprising was general in 1944, Warsaw Ghetto Uprising only in the Jewish Ghetto in 1943! 

2 October 1944 - Warsaw Uprising collapsed, Germans completely destroyed the city

Warsaw Uprising was crucial for the history of Poland and Warsaw:

1. Warsaw was completely demolished by Germans.
2. Soviet Union infected communism in Poland for 44 years (1945-1989)

In order to understand Warsaw Uprising I recommend you watch the movie of Roman Polanski - "The Pianist" - 3x Oscar winner at the 75th Academy Awards in 2003 for the:
Best Actor
Best Director
Best Adapted Screenplay

Watch this touching speech of Adrien Brody while Ceremony! (from 3:30)

In Warsaw one of the points you must see is: Warsaw Uprising Museum:



Once a year on august 1st, the people of Warsaw pay hommage to the fallen heroes that fought for freedom in 1944 during the Warsaw Uprising.
