Polish historians have created an unusual 3D film that documents the shocking sea of rubble that Warsaw was reduced to during World War II.

Jan Oldakowski, the director of the Warsaw Uprising Museum, says it is mainly meant for young people who do not realize the degree to which Poland's capital was destroyed from 1939-45.

There is a 45 second video on this link that has some short shots of the 3d film toward the end. Wow.

Maybe this is why the Poles are such strong Christians.
When you go through stuff like this, you need a strong anchor.

Most people here have no idea of the scope of the devastation in Warsaw..

I've watched many video documentaries on the subject but certain that can't compare having lived it.

It’s made by Tomasz Baginski, guy with enourmous talent, you should see his other productions: “Katedra” and the one made for 600th aniversary of Polish-Lithuanian victory against Teutonic Order at Grunwald.

One of the reasons why the Nazis went after Poland first was in their anti-Semitic policy, they clearly knew about Poland's huge Jewish community. And sadly, the Nazis just about wiped it out.

Warsaw suffered heavily not only from the 1939 Nazi invasion, but also the damage from the Warsaw Ghetto uprising in 1943 and deliberate destruction of the city by retreating Nazi troops after the Warsaw Uprising in 1944--when Soviet troops finally entered Warsaw on January 17, 1945, there were very few pre-war buildings left standing.

I married into a Polish family. Not only are they the first to fight. They fight all of the time. And grudges? You never met someone who held a grudge like a pole.

My father in law went years without talking to his brother because his brother said something to my wife when she was eight. They talked again the year before we were married—18 years later.

Very powerful reconstructed digital images... wish the trailer was longer and/or available in stereo for “crossed eye” 3D viewing.
