Today, Poland is commemorating The National Warsaw Uprising Remembrance Day. The Warsaw Uprising was a major operation by the Polish underground resistance in World War II to liberate Warsaw from German occupation. On August 1, 1944, around 40-50 thousand insurgents took part in the fighting. Planned to last several days, the uprising eventually lasted over two months. As a result, around 80–90% of Warsaw's buildings, including the vast majority of museums, art galleries, theaters, churches, parks, and historical buildings were destroyed.
