Museum of the Warsaw Uprising 
Description
This museum is devoted to the Warsaw uprising of 1944 when the populace as a whole rose up against their Nazi occupiers to try and free themselved (not to be confused with the Ghetto uprising of the previous year.) Sadly, it had a similar outcome with the Nazi's eventually winning and inflicting a terrible retribution, levelling the city and killing almost all the citizens. What makes more uncomfortable reading is that the Red Army was just a couple of hundred yards away, and refused to intervein as they wanted to ensure Poland would be communist after the war. The Western allies are no better citing the Normandy landings as their excuse for not assisting. The suffering, heroricisim and fighting spirit of the Poles is celebrated, but tempered by the outcome. You can take a lift to the viewing platform above the museum to see an illustration of the devistation reaked on the city by the Nazi retribution.
