on every street corner in warsaw -- sometimes in 2/3 places on the street you will see a memorial saying "on xx date in 194__ yy numbers of poles were killed by Germans"

Every August 1st at 5:00 PM, Warsaw stops for one minute, to commemorate "W Hour" the beginning of the Warsaw Uprising.

As a non-Pole, i find it difficult to believe that Poles can forgive Germans and Russians for what these nations did. But most Poles do forgive — especially the young. But the old, the 70+, they can’t stand the sound of German. I’ve seen an old lady cry when she just heard some words...
