Second Time Around -

The Wrocław kids came back to Warsaw, but this time no Jack. There is a new girl in Wrocław, but she couldn't come. While they were here, we visited Warsaw's Uprising Museum. During WWII, Warsaw was occupied by the Germans for five years. They kept all of the Jews in a tiny ghetto closed in by a wall in a part of Warsaw, occasionally transfering large numbers of them to concentration camps like Auschwitz and Treblinka. Towards the end of the occupation, the remaining Jews and many Poles rose up together to fight despite the German's advanced military equipment. They did not defeat the nazis, but their courage and strength was praised. It's now preserved in this museum. (And every Pole's memory.)
