About this ebook
""Warsaw Rebirth"" examines the extraordinary post-World War II reconstruction of Warsaw, exploring how the city rose from near-total destruction to become a modern European capital while preserving its Polish heritage.
The book delves into the conscious effort to rebuild not just buildings, but also national identity in the face of Soviet influence.
Intriguingly, the rebuilding of Warsaw's Old Town, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, served as a symbol of national pride and resilience.
The book highlights the deliberate choices made by Polish architects and planners to reimagine the city's past and shape its future.
