A visual celebration of Warsaw: resurrected from the grip of Nazi and Soviet domination… rich with history, culture, delicious food, and friendly locals.
The Kotwica (anchor)… a symbol combining the letters “P” and “W,” standing for Polska Walcząca (Fighting Poland)… used during World War II as an emblem of the Polish Underground State and Home Army to signify resistance against German occupation.
Thanks, man. I too am gettin’ old… but like you have been blessed with the opportunity to visit so many remarkable places and learn from so many remarkable people. Cheers!
I am glad you included a section on the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, including the fight by the Jews until they were all murdered. The very long movie “Shoah” ends with a comment by a youth who was sent through the sewers to obtain supplies as the fight reached its last stages. When he returned, everyone was dead. If I recall correctly, the film ends with him saying something like, “I thought I was the last Jew on Earth.”
Thank you for sharing that, Gerald. It’s so important that we remember and don’t turn our gaze away from the atrocities humans are capable of. Wishing you all the best, old friend.
Impressive. Haven’t been to Poland. Not sure I ever will. (Gettin’ old…LOL)
