About this event
At exactly 17:00 on 1 August, sirens sound across Warsaw and the city stops for a minute of silence marking the moment the 1944 Uprising began. The Warsaw Rising Museum hosts meetings with surviving insurgents, an anniversary broadcast and open-air exhibitions in the Park of Freedom, while candlelit walks and concerts continue across the city into the evening.
