Rebuilding Warsaw After WWII: Lecture

Rising From the Ashes: The Rebuilding of Warsaw in the Wake of the Holocaust
Sunday, March 6, 2 p.m.

Prior to the start of World War II, Adolf Hitler was intent on razing Warsaw as part of the Pabst Plan to create a future “German” town. On Sunday, March 6 at 2 p.m. the Woodridge Public Library hosts Margaret Guzek, writer and preservationist, as she discusses the events leading up to the destruction of Warsaw and the Polish community’s meticulous post-war reconstruction, including the recognition of Warsaw’s restoration of its historic quarters as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
