A gateway between Eastern and Western Europe, Poland has bounced back from genocide and the upheavals of World War II, signs of which can be seen in the Communist architecture that dots the cities. Castles, Jewish quarters, cellar bars, Auschwitz, beautiful cobblestone squares, some of Europe’s most beautiful mountain scenes, director Roman Polanski and musician Frederic Chopin, stand testimony to this fascinating, historic land.
Get under Polish skin by reading James A Michener’s historic fiction, ‘Poland’, watching ‘The Pianist’ and listening to the jazz piano compositions of Krzysztof Komeda.
