„1 August 1944, a vital date in Poland\u2019s history, the Polish Home Army, a non-Communist underground resistance movement, initiated the Warsaw Uprising \u2013 the largest military effort undertaken by resistance forces to oppose German occupation during World War II \u2013 to liberate the city from occupation and to reclaim Polish independence.”\u2014Culture.pl<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When in Warsaw, do not forget to visit the phenomenal Warsaw Uprising Museum<\/strong> (Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego<\/strong><\/a>). „The Warsaw Uprising Museum was opened on the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of fighting in Warsaw. The Museum is a tribute of Warsaw\u2019s residents to those who fought and died for independent Poland and its free capital… The exhibition depicts fighting and everyday life during the Uprising, keeping occupation terror in the background. Complexity of the international situation at the time of the Uprising is portrayed, including the post-war years of the Communist regime and the fate of Insurgents in the People\u2019s Republic of Poland (PRL). With the total area of more than 3000 m2, 800 exhibition items, approximately 1500 photographs, films and sound recordings, history of the days preceding the Uprising is told. Visitors are guided through the subsequent stages of the Uprising until the time when the Insurgents left Warsaw. Their further fate is also portrayed.”\u2014www.1944.pl<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

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

Warsaw Uprising Memorial Day also reminds us of one of the heros, Krzysztof Kamil Baczy\u0144ski was killed on the 3rd day of the Uprising in the center of Warsaw. During World War II, Baczy\u0144ski was an active participant in the Polish resistance movement. This did not prevent him, however, 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, as he 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.

To learn more about the events of August 1, 1994, we recommend the book by Miron Bia\u0142oszewski, A Memoir of the Warsaw Uprising<\/strong><\/a>.<\/em> Tr., intro., and notes by Madeline G. Levine. New York: New York Review Books, 2015. Bia\u0142oszewski published A Memoir of the Warsaw Uprising<\/em> 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

„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.

Gathering the most important photographs of the Warsaw Uprising. Photographs are from the album The Warsaw Uprising - Image Gallery.\nWhen in Warsaw, do not forget to visit the phenomenal Warsaw Uprising Museum (Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego). \"The Warsaw Uprising Museum was opened on the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of fighting in Warsaw. The Museum is a tribute of Warsaw\u2019s residents to those who fought and died for independent Poland and its free capital... The exhibition depicts fighting and everyday life during the Uprising, keeping occupation terror in the background. Complexity of the international situation at the time of the Uprising is portrayed, including the post-war years of the Communist regime and the fate of Insurgents in the People\u2019s Republic of Poland (PRL). With the total area of more than 3000 m2, 800 exhibition items, approximately 1500 photographs, films and sound recordings, history of the days preceding the Uprising is told. Visitors are guided through the subsequent stages of the Uprising until the time when the Insurgents left Warsaw. Their further fate is also portrayed.\"\u2014www.1944.pl\nBaczy\u0144ski, a romantic fighter for freedom\nPolish Poetry UnitesWatch on our YouTube channel\nWarsaw Uprising Memorial Day also reminds us of one of the heros, Krzysztof Kamil Baczy\u0144ski was killed on the 3rd day of the Uprising in the center of Warsaw. During World War II, Baczy\u0144ski was an active participant in the Polish resistance movement. This did not prevent him, however, 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, as he 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.

Image source: Culture.pl.\nTo learn more about the events of August 1, 1994, we recommend the 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 episode about Miron Bia\u0142oszewski with Joanna Ni\u017cy\u0144ska, hosted by David A. Goldfarb.\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\nFilm Brave Bunch. Warsaw Uprising through Children's EyesWhen 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.\nIn 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.
