I saw the other night the film “Remembrance” (original tile Die Verlorene Zeit) which took place during this time period. It is playing now on Netflix and is worth seeing.
Die Verlorene Zeit (Remembrance) depicts a remarkable love story that blossomed amidst the terror of a German concentration camp in 1944 Poland. This impossible passion fuels the courage of a Polish prisoner who manages to rescue his Jewish girlfriend. Against all odds, they escape the camp and survive a treacherous journey to freedom. But during the chaos of the end of the war, they are forcibly separated and each is convinced that the other has died. More than thirty years later in New York, the happily married 52-year-old woman accidentally finds out that her former Polish lover is still alive. And she has to see him again.

“Kanal” was a horrifying film about the war underground in Warsaw as mentioned in the article.
Also, one of the top leaders of the Free Polish Army was Stefan Korbonski, a late friend of mine. He was the only Polish military leader who sent arms into the Warsaw Ghetto so that the Jews could defend themselves from the Nazis.
He was later awarded Israel’s highest medal for a non-Jewish person, as a “Righteous Gentile”, for his support of Poland’s Jews.
In person, he was a mild-mannered man who looked like a tailor, but he was one helluva freedom fighter (and friend of the great Jan Karski, another Polish leader). I was honored to sit at many luncheons with a genuine hero and humanitarian.
