Experienced on the group’s tour through Krasiński Square, this massive bronze monument to the 1944 Warsaw Uprising against the Nazis becomes an uneasy photo-op when Benji enthusiastically poses fellow tourists as resistance fighters on the memorial and even coaxes the reluctant guide James to join in, to David’s obvious discomfort. The artwork commemorates the resistance fighters who battled the Nazis for 63 days in the summer of 1944, and visitors are encouraged to head across town to the Warsaw Rising Museum to get the full story behind the deeds it honours. - Phil de Semlyen
