Remembering The Warsaw Uprising

The Warsaw Uprising

I don't want to write about the history, there are lots of books and articles about The Warsaw Uprising available. This uprising is very controversial (was it needed or no?), so I'd prefer you to have your own opinion about it. I want to (and will) write a bit about the symbols and celebrations.

I'd like to write it clearly. The Warsaw Uprising was in 1944 (01.08.-02.10.1944) and it's NOT the same with the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (19.04.-16.05.1943) which is part of the Jewish Holocaust.
