Warsaw celebrates 75th anniversary of Warsaw Uprising outbreak

Last Wednesday an official ceremonial session of the Council of Warsaw took place in the Royal Castle. During that event, film director Paweł Pawlikowski, Halina Jędrzejewska (alias “Sławka”), a nurse during the Warsaw Uprising, and Jerzy Majkowski (alias “Black”), a veteran of the uprising, received the Honorary Citizenship of the Capital title. The ceremonial formed part of the celebrations of the 75th anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising.
“The Warsaw Uprising changed the capital, but also built the legend of Warsaw as a steadfast city with a very strong identity that is still looking for something new,” President Rafał Trzaskowski emphasized.
