Warsaw suffered four times during World War II. The first time was as a result of the German air raids in September 1939. After the rising in the ghetto, the entire district was razed to the ground. In August and September 1944, the city suffered from artillery bombardment and air raids. After the Rising, the Germans methodically destroyed Warsaw building after building. This category includes mainly insurgent photos and post-war documentation, but there are also images of the ruins of the ghetto as well as buildings destroyed in 1939. Most insurgent photo reporters recorded shattered buildings, but they rather served as the background for events and people. The greatest number of post-war photographs were taken by Eugeniusz Haneman and Karol Pęcherski, who documented the wartime damage under an official order from the Capital Reconstruction Bureau.
