comments,

  • In 1944, Adolf Hitler insisted this city “has to be pacified, that is, razed to the ground.”""Look at how it has risen from the ashes…
  • The colourful market square before you is the perfect setting for an introduction to Poland\s capital.""Shall we take a stroll along the cobblestone streets?
  • Which famous scientist studied at a clandestine university here in a bid to avoid the clutches of the occupying Russian Empire?""She later became the first person to receive two Nobel Prizes, in separate fields of science
  • This place was virtually wiped out during World War II, when 80% of its buildings were destroyed.""Is it any wonder some people call it The Phoenix City?
