  • Powstanie Warszawskie GB Wyd VI 2019.Indd
    WARSAW Uprising go2warsaw.pl Warsaw Uprising 1944 The Warsaw Uprising broke out at 5:00 pm on Tuesday, August 1, 1944 (code named ‘W-Hour’ as in “Wolność” being Polish for freedom). It was one of the most fundamental yet dramatic events in the city’s history. Anticipated for a few days, it lasted over 2 months. The Insurgents wanted to liberate the capital city from the Hitler’s occupation before the entry of the Soviet Army and thus ensure Poland’s sovereignty after the end of the war. Although numerous, the insurgent forces had to face a regular, fully militarized German army without relevant weaponry. Sadly, being denied any assistance from the allies, they were doomed to fail. The support they hoped for never came. Clashed between two mighty armies, the Soviets and the Germans, the Uprising slowly bled out. The looming destiny of Warsaw, known as the ‘Paris of the East’ before the war, was fulfilled by Heinrich Himmler’s order saying: ‘Every citizen is to be killed. No prisoners are to be taken. Warsaw has to be razed to the ground. Let it be a horrifying example for the whole Europe.’ Zamkowy Square (Archive of the City of Warsaw, photo: Zdzisław Marcinkowski) Warsaw Uprising 1944 Grójecka Street. Capitulation. The civilians leave the city. (Warsaw Rising Museum, photo: unknown author) The Polish capital city was devastated in nearly 85% and its residents were taken to transition and POW’s camps.

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.

    qr. 3. 2018 no. 6 ISSN 2543-9839 EVENTS www.warsawinstitute.org Editorial Dear Readers, special geopolitical relationship is coming to an end before our very eyes: an old union, now almost 70 years old; an unusual relationship, because it is one between the defeated and the winner; Aa union that has brought many benefits, and not only to both these sides. This is how Grzegorz Kuczyński, an expert from The Warsaw Institute Foundation, diagnoses the geopolitical situation by looking at the current relations between between the United States and Germany. It is indeed hard to shake off the impression that this relationship is crucial for the current distribution of power, not only for Europe but for the entire world including Central Europe. Experts point out that the crisis in the European Union is multifaceted and that indeed we are witnessing the simultaneous occurrence of many crises: the crisis in the eurozone, the crisis in the context of pursuing a common foreign and security policy, the migration crisis, Brexit, and the growing threat and occurences of terrorist attacks. These trends have consequences for all members of the European community and increasingly call into question the effectiveness of EU leadership. EU countries with less economic potential, on the other hand, have little chance of resisting the pressure of European bureaucracy, which only increases a lack of trust towards EU institutions. In this issue of the Western Report, we examine the situation in Europe in its various aspects, focusing largely on geopolitics, demographics, and economics. 3/2018 3 Editorial I can refer here to an article by Tomasz Grzegorz Grosse who analyzed geopolitical changes in the EU, drawing attention to The their political, social, and economic dimensions.
