lamus-dworski: Examples of the surviving wayside shrines in the city of Warsaw, Poland. Many of them were built during the World War II - during the occupation of the city by the Nazi German regime, particularly in the depressive year of 1943 that had led to the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. Even though most of them were destroyed along with the tragic demolition of the city after the Uprising, thousands of the shrines are still hidden all over the city. They can be found in old tenements’ backyards, corners or passages, reminding of the people fallen for Poland’s independence. One by one, they slowly become abandoned, often being maintained only from private funds by the local residents. Photos by ElaJ [source] and Anna Beata Bohdziewicz [source]. -- source link
