Warsaw
The story of Warsaw can be divided in two: before August 1, 1944, and after. 2004 marked the 60th anniversary of the
Warsaw Uprising, a battle which has come to define the spirit of the city and its people. Brutalized and butchered it was effectively wiped from the map – blown to smithereens by the Nazis. The city has gone to pains to rebuild itself.
