80 Jahre danach – Der Warschauer Aufstand
Our (former) employees take part in the public discussion about the Warsaw Uprising.
Warsaw August 1, 2024, 5:00 p.m. - A city commemorates the Warsaw Uprising of 80 years ago. A siren sounds, a minute's silence brings the Polish capital to a standstill, people remember the victims. Few events have shaped Warsaw as much as the Second World War. The Warsaw Uprising is a particularly traumatic chapter.
In Germany, the uprising is not so widely known. Few people know that it lasted 63 days and cost the lives of almost 200,000 Polish people. The German Historical Institute in Warsaw puts the events in context. Here you will find an overview of articles, contributions and interviews written by and with (former) employees of the DHI Warsaw on the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising:
