Each city has a symbol. So Warsaw….
Typical monuments, buildings and land marks recognizable to all. In Warsaw, except for them there are historical symbols – the tragic events during World War II that changed this city forever. Destroyed in more than 80 percent it revived after the war … but heroic courage and ethos of the struggle for freedom became a recognizable sign of this city.
