    In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the capture of the PAST building by Warsaw Uprising insurgents, the Archives of New Records (Archiwum Akt Nowych) have launched a special website highlighting the remnants of the 1944 uprising. The Warsaw Uprising left a profound legacy of courage and responsibility, still visible today in the city’s streets and buildings.

    For over 20 years, AAN has been documenting the remnants of wartime battles through the project Wounded Capital. The recently launched online gallery features a selection of photographs from 2004 to 2024, showcasing places that bear the scars of the Uprising. The 2024 edition emphasizes both well-preserved historical sites and those that are rapidly deteriorating, calling for public awareness and preservation efforts.
