Warsaw Calling - Reception and Exhibition Launch

The Warsaw Uprising was the greatest and bloodiest military operation undertaken by any resistance movement during the Second World War. For two months in the summer of 1944, superior Nazi forces were held in check by the Polish underground army fighters, many just teenagers. The Soviet Red Army halted its advance outside the city limits. Poland's British allies provided virtually no support.

The Rising cost the lives of estimated 200,000 inhabitants of Warsaw. 85% of the city was destroyed by the Nazis.

The Warsaw Calling Exhibition tells the story of this dramatic, heroic and tragic event.

WARSAW CALLING is organised by the Polish Underground Movement Study Trust, historic archive based in Ealing London. www.studium.org.uk
