This bullet-scarred building (72-73 ulice Wilcza) is one of the few visible reminders of the events of 1944. The Warsaw Uprising Museum, which opened last July, is an impressive and moving act of remembrance of the tragic attempt to achieve liberation from the Nazis on Poland's terms rather than those of the approaching Red Army. If you are in the city, do not miss it.
