In particular, Sunday was the sixtieth anniversary of the beginning of the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 against the Nazi occupation, and German Bundeskanzler Gerhard Schröder paid a visit to Warsaw to participate in the ceremonies.
But it's also true that the Uprising's anniversary was not such a big occasion in Communist Poland, mainly because the event also reflected badly on the Soviet Union, whose armies were merely on the other side of the Vistula river during the entire uprising but refused to undertake parallel offensive operations in its support.
In sum, it seems this trip by the Bundeskanzler to Warsaw was a very ticklish affair indeed, quite unlike last June's celebrations on the Normandy beaches where it was clear that, at long last, by-gones could be by-gones.

 The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, by Marek Edelman
These factors will perhaps best explain why our activities in the first period after the fall of Warsaw were mainly of a charitable nature, and why the first instinctive acts of armed resistance against the occupying forces occurred comparatively late and, in the beginning, in such insignificant forms.

In Israel at present, there are some who hope, and have reason to hope, that the agreement will lead to peace; there are others who fear, and have reason to fear, that it will lead to war.
