19th December – Post 19 – Warsaw

Warsaw is a wonderful European city to visit for so many different reasons but if you love your 2WW history, it is a must visit location.  By 1945, it is said that 90% of the city's buildings had been completely destroyed. In spite of this horrendous figure, there are still fragments of the capital's bloody existence through the Second World War, to be seen.  This photo shows where part of the ghetto wall once stood - a stark reminder of the suffering that thousands endured during Nazi occupation.
