The air raid siren sound...

Thanks
This beats hands down the enforced minute's moment silence that is had at football/rugby clubs for the latest blazer to kick the bucket.

That is a lovely video!
My gf is from Warsaw and it is amazing to see everyone stop in places I know to be busy streets.
When I was there at Christmas it was the 30th anniversary of the Solidarity riots which was pretty emotional. There was a really good photo exhibition on Nowy Swiat, which is the main street in Warsaw. Very powerful.
It is a shame that more people don't know what Poland has been through over the last 70 years. A wonderful country with so much heartbreak in its history.

I've only been to Poland a couple of times,
once to Katowice and twice to Krakow, but do feel an affinity for the place, despite not (knowingly) having any family connections, to the point where I decided not to visit Birkenau, as I didn't think I could handle it emotionally.
Its sickening that there's a small but visible extreme right wing element in Poland, considering everything the country has been through over the decades.

The suffering of the country is immense throughout the years.
My gf's family live in a place called Wawer, right on the edge of Warsaw. At Christmas time it was also the anniversary of this massacre from the second world war. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wawer_massacre It was very moving being there on the memorial day.
Also, what seems to get mentioned very little is the amount of Poles who fought for us, particularly in the RAF.

Nice video
But the music I think detracted from the idea of a city gone silent to the sound of a siren.

Nicely shot, but the music is intrusive and annoying. Silence and the siren are all you need.

Do it every year
For rememberance day. Stop and pay my respects to those poor bastards who were sent out to fight and got killed in some horrific ways at a young age so that we can all act like dicks on the internet.
