 Remembrance Travel
 Regent Holidays  -  Warsaw City Break / Krakow City Break / Classic Poland
Poland's three main cities each offer something different. Warsaw is now a thriving centre with elegant shops, cafés and world-class museums. Gdansk is a quiet and peaceful town and Krakow is Poland's very own Prague. Sadly, when World War Two began in Gdansk and swept through Warsaw, the two cities were almost entirely destroyed but thanks to painstaking restoration their old towns have now returned to their former glory. Krakow, on the other hand, survived the war miraculously unscathed. As Poland's cultural capital, this beautiful city is a hotbed of art, music and culture from buskers and street artists in the main square to opera in the concert halls. The winter capital of Zakopane is only two hours south and its lofty mountain setting provides a perfect balance to the high art of Krakow.

The Rough Guide to Poland (Rough Guide Travel Guides) 
By Mark Salter, Gordon McLachlan, Jonathan Bousfield (Editor)
Up-to-the-minute accounts of all the sights from the fast-changing cities of Warsaw and Krakow to the laid back lakeside resort of Mazuria.

Autumn is the best time to come if you're planning to sample the whole spread of the country's attractions: in the cities the cultural seasons are beginning at this time, and the pressure on hotel rooms is lifting; in the countryside, the golden "Polish October" is especially memorable, the rich colours of the forests heightened by brilliantly crisp sunshine that's often warm enough for T-shirts.

History of Poland

The first Polish state was established in the 10th century by Mieszko I. Under him the Poles became Christians . Mieszko's descendants, known as the Piast Dynasty, expanded Polish power. Major enemies at this time were the German Teutonic Knights and the Tatars. After a period of political unrest Wladyslaw I reunited the kingdom in 1320, and his son Casimir III the Great protected it from its enemies and developed its economy and society.

Timothy Snyder
Timothy Snyder traces the emergence of four rival modern nationalist ideologies from common medieval notions of citizenship. He presents the ideological innovations and ethnic cleansings that abetted the spread of modern nationalism but also examines recent statesmanship that has allowed national interests to be channeled toward peace.
