The exhibition, entitled Captured: city, war, love, showcases a selection of photographs taken between 1935 and 1955 in Warsaw by Polish wartime photographer Tadeusz Bukowski.
Over 300 images are on show, some of which depict everyday life in Warsaw in times of the 1944 uprising, the exhibition’s curator Joanna Lang was quoted as saying by public broadcaster Polish Radio’s news agency IAR.
The photographs also show the destruction of the country’s capital city, the victims and the perpetrators as well as the civilian population during the years surrounding the uprising.
The exhibition runs until October 3 at the Fotoplastikon in Warsaw.
The Warsaw Uprising began on 1 August 1944 and lasted 63 days before being put down by better equipped and more numerous German forces.
The bloody insurgence resulted in the death of some 18,000 fighters and 200,000 civilians.
The uprising was the largest military operation by any resistance movement in Europe against the continent's Nazi German occupiers during World War II.
