Poland Prepares To Commemorate The 85th Anniversary Of The WWII Outbreak
KRAKOW, POLAND - AUGUST 31:
Grave of Mieczysław Słaby (1905-1948), who served as a doctor at the Military Transit Depot on Westerplatte from August 1939, caring for the wounded during the defense of the peninsula and was later interned in a stalag despite his officer's rank, seen on the eve of the 85th anniversary of World War II's outbreak at Rakowicki Cemetery, on August 31, 2024, in Krakow, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland.
The destructive effects of World War II on Poland's population, economy, and culture are still felt today; over 5.2 million lives were lost, and the nation has been left to rebuild from ruins. Poland has never renounced its right to reparations from Germany, as the damage inflicted by the war continues to have lasting consequences. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto)
