01:23  
Today is the 60. anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising against the german occupation in World War 2, during which more than 250 ' 000 people were killed and the city was largely destroyed. Some posters made by the insurgents have survived, among them the famous "Call to Arms!" (Do Broni!) by Mieczyslaw Jurgielewicz. A year before, in 1943, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising which also failed, extinguished the lives of the jewish population of Warsaw, which was about 375 ' 000 before the war.
