Silence like clock work

Poland's capital went silent for one minute on Thursday to pay tribute to those who died in the Warsaw Uprising. More than 200,000 Poles lost their lives in the failed 1944 rebellion against Nazi Germany's occupation. he Russian army was a stone's throw away and the U.S. Air Force stood down when the Home Army pled for help. The 63-day uprising is seen by Poles as the most significant insurrection in their history. The silent remembrance is observed each year at 5:00 p.m., known as “W hour”.
