This is one of the most moving monuments in Warsaw. The sculpture shows very powerful uprising of men during the World War II
This is powerful monument to the Polish Jews and the persecution and Germany's occupation during WWII. Its located in the area of the old Warsaw Jewish Ghetto
The Museum is a tribute of Warsaw’s residents to those who fought and died for independent Poland and its free capital. The exhibition depicts fighting and everyday life during the Rising, keeping occupation terror in the background.
German soldiers led Jews captured during the suppression of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to this assembly point for deportation.
Established in October-November 1940, this small district, comprising only 2.4 percent of Warsaw's land area, is where more than 450,000 Jews were forced by the Germans to live in crowded conditions.
A bronze statue commemorates the children who lost their lives in the Warsaw Rising. It's small sculptures but speaks for itself by moving history.
This magnificent monument commemorates the fate of 1.5-2 millions Poles (including children, infants and old people) who were sent by the Soviet Union to labour camps
Grzybowski Square and its surroundings not only are of a historical value but now they offer multiple dining and drinking options on the renovated Prozna street. Possible to see for request
People call it the Nike of Warsaw. Commemorates the people in Warsaw who fought against the Nazi occupation. Large and impressive
Take a walk around this impressive, well-tended military cemetery which also serves as the final resting spot for some very famous Poles. The endless stone and wooden crosses over graves of soldiers who fell in WWI and WWII is a potent reminder of how heavy a toll war has taken on this people.
The monument of unknown soldier is very moving. They have done a commendable job of paying tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The surroundings of the massive square and the park behind truly adds to the majesty of this monument
Another monument realted to World War II in Warsaw.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and showed us parts of Warsaw, we would not have seen on our own. Very informative tour.
