This weekend Warsaw will mark 66 years since its fated uprising against German occupiers from 1 August until 2 October 1944 when Polish resistance forces surrendered. About 16 000 were killed on both sides of the bitter fighting, in addition to nearly 200 000 Polish civilians (mostly through mass murders).
The relatively new Warsaw Rising museum, one of Poland's most modern museum spaces, will be hosting several events to mark the anniversary. Firstly, the museum will premiere a specially commissioned 5 minute-long film directed by Oscar nominated 3D artist Tomasz Baginski.... |
