In many announcements that appeared over the weekend in the German media, it was written that the Warsaw Uprising was still unhealed wound in Polish historical consciousness. Daily “Hamburger Abendblatt” he wrote about one of the most horrific events in the history of Polish-German relations. The newspaper called the emergence of a great trauma in Polish history.
Issue “City 44″ is to be an indirect response to the German TV series “Our mothers, our fathers,” in which Army soldiers are presented as a gang of anti-Semites. Both films show the experience of the war from the perspective of a group of young people – Germans and Poles. Following the issue of the “City 44″ ZDF will show a documentary about the Warsaw Uprising.
