There is city that stops for one minute every year - this day is today
Once a year on august 1st, the people of Warsaw pay hommage to the fallen heroes that fought for freedom in 1944 during the Warsaw Uprising. The biggest rebellion against German Nazi occupation during WWII cost over 200 000 lives and destruction of the capital.

A really good gesture!
A truly awesome sight, really enjoyed this!
A dear friend is Polish, her parents still speak of the Uprising. Important date in human history. Freedom, the right to live, the right to water and food, all things worth fighting for.
Yep, the atrocities that happened during that time are incomprehensible. It's good to remember, to make sure it never happens again and to give respect to those who lost their lives making sure that people can even take that 1 minute out of the year to do this.
