Drenched in history from World War Two, the capital city of Poland, Warsaw, is the place to see a combination of a modern society and cultural with past historical building and culture. Having a strong historical background and culture, Warsaw has boomed economically from tourism. This paper will discuss the following question: How does Warsaw use it’s bold history and culture to benefit and develop its economy? Warsaw, the capital of Poland, was established in the year 1200 A.D. but did not become the capital until 1596 A.D. It has a large population of 1.7 million people and which that number is continuously growing according to UNData. Before World War Two, Poland as a whole was struggling for independence from Communist influence and German forces. As the ideas of communism were spreading from the Soviet Russia, the historical Battle of Warsaw, slowed their ideas from spreading to the west, as Poland is situated between Germany and Ukraine. World War Two began after Warsaw was bombed and invaded by Nazi forces. Five years later, Warsaw was almost completely destroyed by Nazi forces during the Warsaw Uprising.

Warsaw decided to capitalize on the idea of tourism, as many people would like to see the city’s sites, be emerised in Polish culture, and learn and see the history of the city unfold before their eyes. And so it was as tourism in Poland employs approximately 760 thousand people, with majority of those jobs being in Warsaw. With increased focus of tourism to Warsaw, the GDP of Poland grew after 2008, which led to the increase of population and jobs, and just in 2015 Warsaw’s unemployment rate was only 4%. With this, Warsaw is also developing faster than Poland as a whole within the last two decades thanks to the EU and the fall of
Zuzana Gruenberger was born in Kosice, Czechoslovakia on March 3, 1933. She was the youngest of three children and her most used nickname was Zuzi. Zuzana’s father's occupation was a tailor, and he worked where they lived. When the first Hungarian troops marched into Kosice, Zuzana was five years old. Soon after their arrival the Hungarian troops began to enforce anti-Jewish laws; these laws were said to be welcomed by the Hungarian government.
Karla Homolka is a prime example of a person who has committed a violent crime. The story of who Karla Homolka is and what she had done is very well known, not just in Canada but all over North America. After hearing the story of what her and Paul Bernardo did many people would wonder why, why and how could two people commit such violent acts. There are many theories that criminologists could use to try and explain the reasoning behind the actions of Karla Homolka, one would like to believe that there are reasons and not just that she was an evil person.

A camp focused on not only torture but death. something so permanent, so final. thousands of prisoners thrown in this camp every day just to be killed (about 800,000). With no rhyme or reason, besides the thought of the jews being completely worthless and not even deserving of living on this earth and breathing the air. The logic in this time is completely lost, they jews were treated no better than dirt under the guards shoes. On a list of the nine worst concentration camps Treblinka is the second. ( the first being the worst.) This camp in particular has gas chambers made to look like showers. even including shower faucets and tile.With pipes running across the ceiling which of course was designed to appear as pipes for the water when in reality the pipes were filled with carbon monoxide gas ( a deadly gas). When the prisoners piled in they were gassed to death.The guards often referred to the tunnels to the chambers as “ the road to heaven”. The other prisoners were sometimes just machine gunned or even “spilled onto the railroad platform”
Poland was attacked by Germany on September 1939, many of the polish were devastated. Once World War II began many Poles knew they had to stand up for their country because, of all the Jews that lived in Poland it was almost impossible to be safe.

The Warsaw Ghetto was the largest Jewish ghetto in Europe occupied by Nazi during World War 2. It was created in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, on October 16, 1940 and was only 3.4 square kilometres wide with a wall that extended over 10 feet high with barbed wire. Over 400,000 Jews were forced to live in this ghetto. Life in the Warsaw Ghettos was horrific and many people died. This was due to people receiving poor food rations, little healthcare with the spread of disease and Nazi brutality.
My involvement with the community PSFCU serves, the Polish community, is quite extensive. Polish was the first language I ever learned, and I am very grateful for this. I attend Polish mass every Sunday; I am fortunate that Pittsburgh, PA has a relatively large Polish community, which allows me to still attend Polish mass 400 miles away from home. I also attended Polish School for most of my life so far, which not only taught me the intricacies of the Polish language, but also the long history of my country, often filled with hardship. For 3 years of my life, while I was in elementary school, I moved to Poland so my parents could care for my sick grandmother. Though at first I was reluctant to move overseas, I soon came to love living in my country.

It is beyond uncertainty that the Warsaw Uprising which took place 70 years ago in 1944 is one of the most significant, heroic and tragic events in the 20th century of Polish history. During 63 days of patriotic uprising many thousands of predominantly young Poles were killed in an imbalanced battle with the German occupiers. This investigation will focus on the areal support for the Home Army (AK) during the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. The essay will discuss the causes and consequences of the action taken by the authority of Great Britain, United States of America and Soviet Union as well as the Polish government in exile regarding the Warsaw Uprising.
Tourism is often associated with traveling to places away from home. Tourism has a big impact on the economic growth of some countries, which define the shape of their cities by producing different sectors like historic districts, convention centers, museums, malls, hotels, restaurants, and the list can be endless. Furthermore, tourism elements have been developed by cities for a variety of reasons including: situating themselves in the world by drawing a positive image and attracting visitors and for their money.
This essay is the respond to the Local Council Member who has wrong idea about a common archetype of adventure tourist. This misconception based on ignorance of current tourism industry, could potentially be a dangerous for local economy and development. The local authority must be well informed about present conditions with the tourism market, before they will make a far reaching decisions about the development direction in this industry. Currently, there are many organisations whose monitoring an international tourism business and this knowledge supposed to be good use for our common good.
Nowadays in the rea of globalization, according to the World Tourism Organization, “seven hundred million people travelled abroad in 2003”, and the number is estimated to increase to 1.6 billion by 2020. (International Labour Organization, 2005). Tourism is spreading in unusual places. A lot of people want to be in the midst of adventure. It is a vital source of revenues for the GDP of many countries. I partially agree that tourism hugely benefits the local community. This essay will discuss some of the economic, social and environment effect of tourism on the host community.
Tourism is a typical activity of fashion that the public participate widely and it has grown in importance over recorded human history. Innumerable articles refer tourism as “the world’s largest industry”; policy-makers, analysts, and scholars often speak of the size of the tourism compared to that of other industries (Smith 2004: 26). These series of misleading statement, together with the mass media’s reports (out of context), make the idea that tourism is a single large industry branded into many people’s minds. However, in this essay I will demonstrate that it is a simplistic and misleading idea, which should be replaced by the plural term, “tourism industries”. Moreover, tourism is not the world’s largest industry, but largest service sector.
