I do not believe in
rebirth of human beings, but I saw today the “resurrection” of the old town in
Warsaw, Poland. During the Second World War, about 75% of Warsaw was destroyed
by bombs and of the old town in the city even 85%. My guide walking tour shown
some pictures of that time, there was no one building standing any more.
To rebuilt the city
with skylines it was not difficult now day, but to reconstruct in details an old
town is a big challenge.
Street by street, stone
by stone, house by house, the people rebuild the old town and the castle and if
one does not know that it is a new construction, he might think: Woww, how old
and romantic is this old town!
Even the Enesco was so
surprised of the resurrection of the old town of Warsaw that they put it in to
the list of the World Heritage Sites.
Congratulations to the
human beings that can not only destroy cities but can also recreate them again
as they would never been destroyed.
Wow what an eye opener and how wonderful to read that the people of Warsaw recreated and rebuilt their old city, which is their own history. I believe that this is very rare to happen. In most cases, cities are rebuilt using modern architecture. I take my hat off and congratulate the people of Warsaw.
