The exhibition presents military, political, historical and personal aspects of the Warsaw Rising. For 63 days between 1 August and 2 October 1944 the inhabitants of the Polish capital were struggling against superior German forces whereas the Soviet Army abstained from giving a helping hand though standing on the other side of the Vistula river.
A city with chaotic and inconherent architecture, that is how Warsaw is often perceived by tourists. For Varsovians however, their city is beautiful because it was brought back to life. We cannot boast about ideally preserved relics of the past but thanks to thousands of Warsaw’s inhabitants the city has risen from the ashes.
Many generations onboard! We cooperate with people of different age and different interests. Among us there are schoolkids, students, full-time professionals and retired persons. Those who are fascinated with history and culture as well as those who want to meet the last witnesses of the past. We value open-mindedness and diversity.
The Red Army took over the city of Leszno on the night of 30/31 January 1945. The German occupation was over. German residents fled in a hurry and left over property and personal belongings in their deserted houses. A few weeks later in one of the apartments a photography treasure trove was found, namely a collection of photographs taken by Alfred Mensebach in September 1944. He was an architect and a member of Sprengkommando, stationed at 13, Płocka Street in Warsaw, a unit within the Technisches Nothilfe, responsible for detonating monuments and houses in Warsaw.
