81th Anniversary of Warsaw Uprising<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year we are commemorating the 81th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising. Join the Poles at 5 PM CET\/11 AM ET for one minute of silence\u2014symbolizing the ’W’ Hour<\/strong>, „the codename for the date and time that began Operation Tempest<\/a><\/strong> in German-occupied Warsaw<\/a><\/strong>, and hence the Warsaw [Uprising].”\u2014Wikipedia<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On August 1, 1944, at 17:00 o’clock, the Polish Home Army rose against the occupying power in a desperate and courageous attempt to liberate Warsaw from national socialist oppression. This uprising lasted for 63 days and became a symbol of the Polish nation’s free will and invincibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 200,000 Poles, many of them civilians, lost their lives in this heroic battle. Despite the unequal force conditions and devastating losses, the Uprising remained an inspiring example of resilience and sacrifice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition, prepared by the IPN\u2019s National Education Office in Warsaw, presents basic information about the uprising in our capital in August and September 1944. Thanks to the intricate process of coloring black and white photographs by Miko\u0142aj Kaczmarek, this is the first – full color – exhibition about the Warsaw Uprising. The photographs presented here come from the collections of, among others, the Warsaw Rising Museum, the Polish Press Agency, the KARTA Center, and private collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baczy\u0144ski, a romantic fighter for freedom<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polish Poetry Unites
Watch on our YouTube channel<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warsaw Uprising Memorial Day also reminds us of one of the heroes, Krzysztof Kamil Baczy\u0144ski, who was killed on the 3rd day of the Uprising in the center of Warsaw. During World War II, Baczy\u0144ski actively participated in the Polish resistance movement. However, this did not prevent him from developing his passion for lyricism. He is one of the most important Polish poets of the 20th century; however, he is not widely known in the USA and is very difficult to translate. Regretfully, says Edward Hirsch. In the short documentary film, which follows Edward Hirsch\u2019s introduction, an engineer, Anna Kurkowska-Mielczarek is featured, talking about her life in the context of Baczynski\u2019s poem\u2014\u201cA Poet\u2019s House\u201d\u2014a fragment of his poetic novellas called The Poet\u2019s Wedding.

A<\/span> valuable source of information about the events of the Warsaw Uprising is a book by Miron Bia\u0142oszewski, A Memoir of the Warsaw Uprising. Tr., intro., and notes by Madeline G. Levine. New York: New York Review Books, 2015. Bia\u0142oszewski published A Memoir of the Warsaw Uprising in 1970, recounting, in fragmented, anti-heroic language, the civilian experience under German bombardment, challenging the Romantic narrative of the Uprising as it was generally conceived. To learn more about the author, we encourage you to listen to the Encounters with Polish Literature<\/a><\/strong> episode about Miron Bia\u0142oszewski with Joanna Ni\u017cy\u0144ska, hosted by David A. Goldfarb.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

„On August 1, 1944, Miron Bia\u0142oszewski, later to gain renown as one of Poland\u2019s most innovative poets, went out to run an errand for his mother and ran into history. With Soviet forces on the outskirts of Warsaw, the Polish capital revolted against five years of Nazi occupation, an uprising that began in a spirit of heroic optimism. Sixty-three days later, it came to a tragic end. The Nazis suppressed the insurgents ruthlessly, reducing Warsaw to rubble while slaughtering some 200,000 people, mostly through mass executions. The Red Army simply looked on.”\u2014New York Review Books<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Film Brave Bunch. Warsaw Uprising through Children’s Eyes<\/a><\/strong>
When the Warsaw Uprising started in 1944, thousands of children lived in the city. Here are the stories of those who survived. Hybrid documentary Brave Bunch tells the story of a heroic and tragic 63-day strugle to liberate Warsaw from Nazi German occupation during World War II from a perspective of children.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Brave Bunch, a group of children run through the streets of modern-day Warsaw, the city their playground. One of them spies a discarded journal, and they are transported back to August 1944. As the children enter the Warsaw Uprising Museum, the exhibits soon step out of the past. Based on fact, with a sprinkling of magic realism and driven by the children’s curiosity, Brave Bunch. The Uprising through children’s eyes relates tender, often moving accounts of those who witnessed the uprising as children themselves, drawing a line between past and present with playful dexterity.
