WARSAW, Poland - The plane slowly descends from white clouds and sweeps over a panorama of a city destroyed by the Nazis: the skeletons of bombed bridges jutting from a quiet river, the empty walls of burned-out houses, the Jewish ghetto flattened.

It is Warsaw in the spring of 1945, just after World War II.

The sea of rubble it was reduced to during the war is vividly reconstructed in a 3D film that historians and computer-graphics experts showed in Warsaw this week for the first time.

The goal of the film, which must be seen with special 3D glasses, is to bring home to a young generation the scope of the wartime devastation of Poland's capital.

"Young people do not understand what it means that Warsaw was in ruins; they think it was just a few collapsed houses," Jan Oldakowski, director of the Warsaw Uprising Museum, said at a screening of the film City of Ruins.

"Nor were we, at the museum, fully aware of what the city looked like," he said.

The 1939-45 destruction was a result of bombings by Nazi Germany, which invaded Poland in 1939 and occupied it for six years, killing millions. Most of the damage resulted from the German army's revenge for the city's 1944 uprising against its brutal rule.

The uprising failed after 63 days of an uneven struggle, but as one of Europe's most dramatic acts of resistance to Nazi rule, it remains an important element of Polish national identity. The heroism shown by the insurgents - women and teenagers among them - is a source of deep pride to this day.

Oldakowski said it took 40 specialists two years to make the five-minute 3D aerial-view sequence, a simulation of an imaginary flight of a British Liberator bomber over Warsaw right after the war.

It reconstructs the trajectory that RAF bombers took when bringing arms and supplies to the insurgency. The uprising began Aug. 1, 1944, and the film's release is timed to mark the 66th anniversary.

Starting Sunday, the film will be shown to visitors at the museum, which documents the uprising and is a major draw for tourists and students from across Poland. Last year, it drew 500,000 visitors.

Michal Gryn, from the Platige Image studio, which made the film, said team members were not aware at first of the challenge before them in the form of the masses of documentary material they had to go through.

"It was a unique project to build a 3D model of authentic city ruins and make five minutes of film from it," Gryn said. "I don't think that anyone in the world has done this."

Members of his team took a helicopter flight over contemporary Warsaw to film base material. They filled it in with detail from about 2,000 historical pictures, films, and paintings - some from private archives - to re-create Warsaw as it was after the war.

The result is a computer simulation that shows collapsed bridges along the Vistula River, whole districts of roofless, burned-out houses, and the Warsaw Ghetto as a flat sea of rubble.

A solemn musical score enhances the sense of death and menace.

An inscription that closes the film says that Warsaw had about 1.3 million residents before the war, about 900,000 at the start of the uprising, and just 1,000 amid the ruins in 1945. Before the war, about 10 percent of the city's population was Jewish.

Warsaw has been fully rebuilt, including a meticulous reconstruction of the Gothic and Renaissance Old Town. Today it is a bustling city of 1.7 million.

WARSAW

As its name implies, the city Warsaw met many wars and devasted many times. Maximum number of Humans killed and maximum amount of properties destroyed here in the early 20th cenury.

Before we going to see the Warsaw, have an idea about its country, Poland.

Poland is a Central or Eastern European country bordered by Russia, Ukrain,
Slovakia, Lithuania, Germany, Czech Republic, and Belarus, making it an ideal for
side trips in Europe or as a starting point for a multi-country vacation. While winters can be bitter, summers are mild with frequent rains; plan on traveling in
the late spring or at the height of summer.

Gdansk has one Poland’s contemporary art scenes.
Tourists can visit the Laznia Center for Contemporary Art or experience the Gdynia Film Festival. In the summer, Gdansk hosts the Street Theater Festival, which attracts acting troupes from all over the world.

Royal Castle in Krakow, Poland:
A popular tourist destination, the Royal Castle in Krakow was built in the year
1000. The castle contains elements of Gothic, Roman, and Renaissance style
architecture, due to its long history and periods of reconstruction. Visitors
can view royal chambers and historical exhibits.

Poland's Old Town Warsaw:
While much of Old Town had to be rebuilt after WWII, elements of its original
facades still remain. Renaissance tenement housing, Gothic cathedrals, and
another royal castle are all attractions to this part of Warsaw. St. John’s
Cathedral, where Poland’s kings were crowned, is located in this district.

Poland's Auschwitz:
A horrifying reminder of Holocaust, Auschwitz is open to visitors. Open daily
from 8am to 7pm, it is possible to see gas chambers, crematorium, and various
exhibits memorializing the prisoners and victims. Other concentration camps
located in Poland include Majdanek, Sobibor, and Stutthoff. All are open to
tourists.

Now we can see the brief blood tainted history of the city Warsaw and its sufferings during the world war and by the Nazies. Whenever and Whereever we came through the word Warsaw, Warsaw Pact, Warsaw Convention, Treaty of Warsaw and the Warsaw Uprising will cling in to our mind and memory.

Warsaw is the capital of Poland and its largest city. It is located on the Vistula River
roughly 370 kilometers (230 mi) from both the Baltic Sea coast and the
Carpathian Mountains. Its population as of 2006 was estimated at 1,700,536, with
a metropolitan area of approximately 3,350,000. The city area is 516.9 square
kilometers (199.6 sq mi), with an agglomeration of 6,100.43 square kilometers
(2,355.4 sq mi) (Warsaw Metro Area — Obszar Metropolitalny Warszawy). Warsaw is
the 8th largest city in the European Union.

It has been said that Warsaw, together with Frankfurt, London and Paris, is one
of the tallest cities in Europe. 11 of the tallest skyscrapers in Poland, 9 of
which are office buildings, are located in Warsaw. The tallest structure, the
centrally located Palace of Culture and Science, is the 7th tallest building in
the European Union. In 2007 Warsaw was ranked the 67th world's most expensive city to live in.

The first fortified settlements on the site of today's Warsaw were Bródno
(9th/10th century) and Jazdów (12th/13th century). After Jazdów was raided, a
new similar settlement was established on the site of a small fishing village
called Warszowa. This settlement Warszowa (at present Warsaw) a Płock prince
established (about 1300), Bolesław II Mazovian (from 1294 prince of entire
Masovia). In the beginning of the 14th century it became one of the seats of the
Dukes of Masovia, becoming the capital of Masovia in 1413. Upon the extinction
of the local ducal line, the duchy was reincorporated into the Polish Crown in
1526.
In 1529 Warsaw for the first time became the seat of the General Sejm,
permanent since 1569. In 1573 Warsaw gave its name to the Warsaw Confederation,
formally establishing religious freedom in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Due to its central location between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth's
capitals of Kraków and Vilnius, Warsaw became the capital of the Commonwealth
and at the same time of the Polish Crown in 1596, when King Sigismund III Vasa
moved the court from Kraków.
Warsaw remained the capital of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth until 1795, when it was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia to become the capital of the province of South Prussia. Liberated by Napoleon's army in 1807, Warsaw was made the capital of the newly created Duchy of Warsaw. Following the Congress of Vienna of 1815, Warsaw became the centre of the Congress Poland, a constitutional monarchy under a personal union with Imperial Russia.
Following the repeated violations of the Polish constitution by the Russians, the 1830 November Uprising broke out. However, the Polish-Russian war of 1831 ended in the uprising's defeat and in the curtailment of the Kingdom's autonomy.
On 27 February 1861 a Warsaw crowd protesting the Russian rule over Poland was
fired upon by the Russian troops.
Warsaw flourished in the late nineteenth century
under Mayor Sokrates Starynkiewicz (1875–92), a Russian-born general appointed by
Tsar Alexander III. Under Starynkiewicz Warsaw saw its first water and sewer
systems designed and built by the English engineer William Lindley and his son,
William Heerlein Lindley, as well as the expansion and modernization of trams, street
lighting and gas works.
Warsaw became the capital of the newly independent Poland in 1918. In the course
of the Polish-Bolshevik War of 1920, the huge Battle of Warsaw was fought on the
Eastern outskirts of the city in which the capital was successfully defended and
the Red Army defeated.
During “World War” II 85% of buildings in Warsaw were destroyed. During the Second
World War central Poland, including Warsaw, came under the rule of the General
Government, a Nazi colonial administration. All higher education institutions
were immediately closed and Warsaw's entire Jewish population — several hundred
thousand, some 30% of the city — herded into the Warsaw Ghetto. When the order
came to annihilate the Ghetto as part of Hitler's "final solution" on April 19,
1943, Jewish fighters launched the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Despite being heavily
outgunned and outnumbered, the Ghetto held out for almost a month. When the
fighting ended, almost all survivors were massacred, only few managed to escape
or hide.
Historical buildings reconstructed after WW II, 2006By July 1944 the Red Army
was deep into Polish territory pursuing the Germans toward Warsaw. Knowing that
Stalin was hostile to the idea of an independent Poland, the Polish
government-in-exile based in London gave orders to the underground Home Army
(AK) to try to seize the control of Warsaw from the Nazis just before the Red
Army's arrival. Thus, on 1 August 1944, as the Soviet army was nearing the city
very fast, the Home Army and the civilian population started the Warsaw
Uprising. The armed struggle, planned to last 48 hours, went on for 63 days, and
eventually the Home Army fighters were forced to capitulate. They were
transported to the POW camps in Germany, while the entire civilian population
was expelled. Hitler, ignoring the agreed terms of the capitulation, ordered the
entire city to be razed to the ground, and the library and museum collections
taken to Germany or burned.
About 85% of the city had been destroyed, including the historic Old Town and the Royal Castle. After the war, large prefabricated housing projects were erected in Warsaw to address the housing shortage. The city resumed its role as the capital of Poland and the country's centre of political and economic life. Many of the historic streets, buildings, and
churches were restored to their original form. In 1980 Warsaw's historic Old Town was inscribed onto UNESCO's World Heritage list.
In 1995 the Warsaw Metro opened, and with the entry of Poland into the European
Union in 2004. Warsaw is home to over 30 major theatres spread throughout the city, including the National Theatre (founded in 1765) and the Grand Theatre in Warsaw
(established 1778).

20th centuries. Since it serves the religious communities of Warsaw, be it
Catholics, Jews, Muslims or Protestants, it is often called a necropolis.
Nearby is the Okopowa Street Jewish Cemetery, one of the largest Jewish
cemeteries in Europe.

Must-See Warsaw Sights -

Lazienki Palace
Lazienki Park and Palace are both beautiful and relaxing
sights to see. The palace, known as "The Palace on the Isle" is built on a lake
and is accessible by foot bridges. Wander the park or enter the palace depending
upon your mood and the weather.

Chopin Monument
Warsaw is the birthplace of the famous Polish composer,
Chopin. The Chopin Monument, located in Lazienki Park, is often used as a
meeting place for music lovers and a venue for concerts. The original version of
this monument is no longer in existence; its reproduction was created after
Nazis destroyed the 1926 monument.

Royal Castle
When taking a tour of the Royal Castle in Warsaw, be mindful
that this structure is a reproduction of the original, just like the Chopin
Monument. And, like the composer's monument, the original Royal Castle was
destroyed by Nazis during WWII. While the exterior has been recreated, the
interior of the Royal Castle is surprisingly authentic. Furniture that was saved
from destruction, or replacements from the same period, serve to illustrate the
uses of the castle's rooms.
The Royal Castle overlooks Castle Square in Warsaw. This
grand square is used for speeches, gatherings, and entertainment.
Warsaw also has other squares of note, like the Old Town Market Square and the
New Town Market Square. Warsaw's squares are great places to have a snack or a
drink and experience the city.

Zygmunt's Column
Zymunt's Column, erected to commemorate a 17th century Polish
king, is an original monument, though it did have to be repaired after the Nazi
invasion. Zygmunt's Column is located in Castle Square and marks the beginning
of Warsaw's Royal Route.

The Palace of Science and Culture
The Palace of Science and Culture was Stalin's gift to Poland.
Its monstrous form and looming silhouette are characteristic of the
architectural style favored by the Soviets. The Palace of Science and Culture is
a multi-purpose building that now rents commercial space to businesses.

Monument to the Heroes of the GhettoWarsaw Pact
A treaty was signed with East Germany on September 24, 1990 to enable it to leave the Warsaw Pact, and with the German reunification on October 3 it effectively became a part of NATO.

Barbican
The Warsaw Barbican was a defensive structure that was
initially built to replace one of the gates of the walled city of Warsaw. Like
many of Warsaw's buildings, the Barbican has been reconstructed, but this
doesn't make the structure any less impressive.

Wilanow Palace
The Wilanow Palace in Warsaw is now a museum that
showcases its many owners' eclectic style preferences and additions. The
architecture of the Wilanow Palace, portrait galleries, and other museum
exhibits make for an interesting afternoon. If you aren't into museum-going,
stroll the palace grounds.

National Library of Poland
The National Library of Poland, housed in a 17th century
building, holds some of Poland's most treasured documents, including some of
Chopin's compositions, important religious texts, ancient maps, and artists'
conceptions of important Polish architecture.

Other than sight seeing spots of Warsaw, we have to know the Warsaw pact.

Warsaw pact

Not to be confused with the Warsaw Convention, which is an agreement about airlines' financial liability and the Treaty of Warsaw (1970) between West
Germany and the People's Republic of Poland.
Officially named the Warsaw Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual
Assistance. The treaty was signed in Warsaw on May 14, 1955. People's Republic of
Presidential Palace in Warsaw, in 1955 known as Governor's Palace (Pałac
Namiestnikowski), where the Warsaw Pact was signed.Members of the Warsaw Pact
pledged to defend each other if one or more of the members were attacked. The
treaty also stated that relations among the signatories were based on mutual
non-interference in internal affairs and respect for national sovereignty and
independence.
In 1991, the Warsaw Pact broke up when most of the Communist governments fell,
changing to a democratically elected form as the Soviet Union dissolved.
Near the Palace of Science and Culture is the location of
the former Warsaw Ghetto. The sight of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the Warsaw
Ghetto was destroyed in the 1940's and its inhabitants murdered or sent to
concentration camps. This memorial, as well as the nearby Umschlagplatz
Memorial, remember the victims of the Warsaw Ghetto as well as those who tried
to fight back against the Nazis' actions.

Everybody looks vaguely Slavic, but maddeningly, I can only understand half the words they say. It's like, "bliggle blag it's possible to go fleep flapple in the florg because tomorrow we'll buy dargle barg." Yes, I think? The aging infrastructure and apartment blocks (and the dreary gray sky and freezing temperatures) are very familiar, but the super swank hotel I'm safely ensconced in (the Kyriad Prestige) is way nicer than the places I usually grab on Priceline even back in the homeland. Thankfully I have a free day today so I believe my first priority will be to lie down. After that I'll be working on a couple secret surprise mashups featuring Polish tunes for my set on Radio Bis tomorrow, and then hoping the weather clears up so people feel like coming out to the gigs, or maybe they're used to it.
