On 23-24 May 2024 the Warsaw Rising Museum organized a conference ‘The Third Reich towards the Warsaw Rising’ that aimed at a complex presentation of this historical battle from German perspective (reactions of military and civilian authorities, impact on the German war strategy and occupation politics).
The Polish-German conference “The Third Reich towards the Warsaw Rising” marks the 80th anniversary of the Rising and aims at presenting it as a part of the German WW2 history. The conference sessions will be a chance to sum up the current research as well as to ask some fundamental questions concerning the reactions to the Rising at the top level of the Third Reich, the influence the Rising had on the relations among the key decision makers on the eastern front as well as the attempts to use the Rising for propaganda, political and military purposes.
"Warsaw. Phoenix from the ashes" is the name of the exhibition that will be open for public in Osaka from 16 April 2024. It tells the story of the capital of Poland under German occupation, during Warsaw Rising in 1944 and after WW2. Earlier, the exhibition was shown in Hiroshima.
