EVERY YEAR, ON August 1st at 5pm the streets of Warsaw come to a standstill.
A siren sounds out across the Polish city to commemorate the anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, which saw the Polish Home Army attempt to liberate the city.
Following the uprising Hitler declared that Warsaw should be reduced to rubble.
So, every August 1st, the people of the city stand still, and remember.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Uprising, and this week the presidents of Germany and Poland opened an exhibition in Berlin along with veterans of Warsaw in 1944.
