The 1994 Warsaw Uprising - An assertion of sovereignty and hope.


The anchor symbol of the Polish Resistance during World War II.

Formed from the letters P and W, it stood for Polska Walcząca, or Fighting Poland.

Much to the frustration of the Germans, painted on walls and monuments, it was a constant reminder that a resistance movement existed.
