About the Book
Wandering into an inhuman past, that was erased, towards a glowing present, that is lightening up. Memories of a dark history are hidden in tiny fragments all over the city. Ashamed and shy, buildings strive to liberate themselves from their ghosts.
A quarter of a century since the collapse of the Soviet bloc, with the enthusiasm and the passion of a twenty-five years old, Warsaw is healing the scars of dictatorship, oppression, extermination and the illusion of freedom that followed. Injections of faith and economy, awareness and architecture, are the cure towards a bright future.
Warsaw is entering an era with humanity as a priority.
