Hello everyone! I'm happy to meet you again and I hope the year has started in the best possible way for all of you.
I know I've been away from YouTube for a while, but I had to undergo a completely unexpected surgery and took some time to rest and recover.
But, friends, I've missed you so much, and I'm happy to be back. I thank everyone who wrote and wished me a happy birthday. I felt so close to you!
I'm back on YouTube with my second and penultimate video about Warsaw, a city I loved dearly.
In this second part, we'll visit the beautiful and controversial Palace of Culture and Science, built in Stalinist style in 1955. Standing 231 meters tall, it remains the city's landmark, visible from wherever you are.
We'll be able to admire the splendid 360° view of Warsaw from above by climbing to the observation deck, something I definitely recommend if you come to the city.
Then we'll head to the part of Warsaw that has completely changed and is continuing to change its face in recent times. Skyscrapers and modern residential buildings are replacing the impersonal Stalinist structures, creating an absolutely captivating skyline.
But this area of Warsaw also holds its most painful recent history.
Alongside this glittering modernity, there are sections of the Ghetto Wall, remnants of its entrance, and several dilapidated buildings where the Jews lived within it. A stark contrast that strikes the heart.
Particularly moving is Ulica Walicow, featuring remnants of the wall surmounted by a new residential building right across from the ghetto buildings. Another striking feature is the modern installation on Ulica Chlodna, located where the bridge connecting the two parts of the ghetto was built. Another monument commemorates the place where Jews gathered before being deported to the camps.
The old Nozyka Synagogue, the only one left standing after the war, is well worth a visit. We'll then head to the Pawiak Prison Museum, a moving museum that chronicles the period of Soviet repression, before moving on to another important museum, the Polin, which tells the story of Polish Jews.
Opposite is the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes, dedicated to the Jews who rebelled against the liquidation of the ghetto by the Nazis.
Next, we'll reach the enormous Pilsudskiego Sq, overlooking the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the beautiful Saxon Gardens, Warsaw's oldest and most beloved park. A beautiful oasis where you can stop and rest for a while.
Another unmissable stop is the surprisingly realistic Uprising Monument, dedicated to the Warsaw Uprising, located right next to the beautiful baroque Krasinski Palace, which remained virtually intact after World War II, and the imposing Justice Palace, which houses the Supreme Court.
We'll end on Miodowa Ulica, a charming street lined with historic buildings that connects Warsaw's Old Town to its central streets.
Warsaw is a city with much to discover, a city that painfully bears the scars of its past, but has managed to recover with great strength and resilience.
I hope this little journey will inspire you to visit, and I look forward to seeing you in part three.
Hugs!
Renata
