mike_elek Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 One of the most incredible things about the horrific loss of life. The articles says, "... in the 63 days of that desperate struggle, more than 250,000 people lost their lives ..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connealy Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Good story. Too bad they couldn't show a few more photos. I did a search on the author and book title, but got no hits. I wonder if the Polish title would turn up something on Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helmut_wieczorek Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 First edition of the mentioned album is being offered here: http://sklep.ladyga.pl/product_info.php?cPath=30_177_157&products_id=4170&osCsid=90be020706245e45455c5bf7b6d8b7fb The price is 20 PLN, that's just under 6 USD.

Most photos (including some by mr. Tomaszewski), from both polish and german sides are here: http://www.warsawuprising.com/photos.htm regards.

connealy Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Helmut, thanks for the links. The book certainly seems like quite a bargain. I wonder if anyone knows what the postage cost would be to the US? The museum looks like a great place to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helmut_wieczorek Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Mike, I've sent an e-mail asking for a quote on shipping to the US. I found same album on one of polish auction sites, opening bid is about $3.60 and there are no bidders. I've asked for a shipping quote there, too. Looks like though, this is not a "straight" photography album - there's some poetry on the subject, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
