"On Nazi and Soviet terror" Top 5 Page for this destination Warsaw Uprising Tip by matcrazy1

Favorite thing: WOW! Warsaw Uprising 1944 Museum is the best set up museum I have ever seen in Poland. It was open in 2004. I've already visited it twice and it's not enough for me :-). Fascinating and very interesting exposition for me for many reasons:
- multimedial way of touching history (computer visual software, movies to watch on small and large screens, stories of witnesses to hear, sounds of uprising and songs of the era heard from loudspeakers, etc. etc.)
- pretty moving design (you have to see that)
- it shows both Nazi and Soviet terror
- the uprising itself which was the most tragic single event of WWII mostly unknown to the world for political reasons as for now but perfectly known (despite not so old ban on that knowledge) to Poles.

The museum reminds me a lot famous Holocast Museum in Washington, DC. Well, this one in Warsaw is smaller in size and not free (but cheap - 4 zl = below 1 euro). It refers to something I'd call "Polish holocaust." Studying various mistakes, their reasons and consequences, the mistakes made by the world leaders during WWII (Stalin, Churchill, Roosvelt) should teach a lot the next leaders and those who vote for them or support them.

Fondest memory: No doubts, Warsaw Uprising Museum belongs to my foundest memories from Warsaw. I will come back there for sure... And it's more than museum, it's an institution - educational and reasearch institute. The museum growths, in March/April 2006 it's closed due to enlargement works.
