A bold tribute to the Phoenix Capital Reborn from the Ashes of the Vistula where Warsaw, the capital of Poland, stands as the supreme symbol of human determination to rebuild and survive, where the city was systematically destroyed by the German occupiers following the Warsaw Uprising of August to October 1944, the largest single act of armed resistance by an occupied city in World War II in which 200,000 civilians were killed and the surviving population expelled, and where after the uprising's suppression Hitler ordered the deliberate, building-by-building demolition of the empty city in an act of cultural annihilation, reducing 85 percent of Warsaw to rubble, and where the decision of the returning Polish population to rebuild their destroyed city from scratch using old photographs, paintings by Canaletto the Younger, and the memory of survivors resulted in the meticulous reconstruction of the Old Town and Royal Castle now inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as an outstanding example of the near-total reconstruction of a span of history, and where Warsaw's vibrant contemporary cultural life, its Chopin Museum dedicated to the great Polish composer born near Warsaw in 1810, its Palace of Culture and Science, and its rapidly growing modern skyline celebrate the city's extraordinary renaissance from its wartime ashes.
