World War II

People light candles at the Warsaw Uprising monument in Warsaw, Friday, Aug. 1, 2014. On the 70th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising, Poland is honoring the fighters and victims of the rebellion against Nazi Germans by laying wreaths, sounding sirens and singing insurgent tunes. On Aug. 1, 1944, thousands of poorly-armed city residents rose up against the German forces to try to take control of the city ahead of the advancing Soviet army. They held on for 63 days before being forced to surrender. Almost 200,000 people were killed. The Nazis expelled the survivors and set the city ablaze. (AP Photo/ Czarek Sokolowski)

In this photo taken in Warsaw, Poland, Tuesday, July 8, 2014, Kazimierz Mikos, 84, shows buildings in Sienna street where in the 1944 Warsaw Rising he had his insurgent lodgings. As a 14-year-old boy Mikos was a guard and messenger in Warsawâs struggle against the occupying Nazi Germans. He will be among hundreds of fighters attending the ceremonies of the 70th anniversary of the ill-fated struggle that led to the destruction of some 30 percent of the cityâs substance and the loss of some 200,000 lives.
