As they launched the war by invading Poland on September 1, 1939, Hitler and his followers unleashed a hell that would cause immense suffering and leave the country vulnerable to Stalin’s post-war ambitions for Soviet expansion. Through the German occupation and the following decades of Soviet oppression, the Polish people held strong in their push for freedom. World figures such as Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, and Pope John Paul II gave their support for a free Poland and bolstered the internal efforts of Lech Walesa, Władysław Bartoszewski, and many others inside Poland.

Bringing history to life The Rise and Fall of Hitler’s Germany A journey that takes you from Berlin to Auschwitz to Warsaw, focused on the devastating legacy of the Holocaust, the bombing raids, and the last battles. Featuring best-selling author & historian Alexandria Richie, DPhil Dear World Traveler, For several years now, it has been my ultimate pleasure to welcome guests from The National WWII Museum Travel on tour with me throughout Germany and Poland on the educational program, The Rise and Fall of Hitler’s Germany. Both Berlin ©Frank Aymami. and Warsaw, the two capital cities of the countries we visit, have been the subjects of my books. Faust’s Metropolis: A History of Berlin dives into the role of this city as a crucible of social, political, and economic transformation—both positive and negative. In Warsaw 1944: Hitler, Himmler, and the Warsaw Uprising, my focus was more defined with an emphasis on what was perhaps Warsaw’s most transformative year. I invite you to join me on a journey back in time, to explore the origins of World War II. We meet in Germany where the early seeds of war were planted in private meeting rooms and in raucous public stadiums, and we uncover the Nazi’s sinister plans to remake the world. As we travel deep into Poland, the strategically thought out evil is clearly revealed, and the tragedy of Nazi ambition becomes strikingly apparent. Former prisons, concentration camps, and rebuilt cities are the physical reminders of the suffering brought by the Third Reich.
