This is a commemorative resolution honoring the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising, a 63-day armed rebellion launched by the Polish Home Army on August 1, 1944, against Nazi occupation of Warsaw. The resolution acknowledges the massive human cost of the uprising, which resulted in an estimated 150,000 to 200,000 Polish deaths, the destruction of Warsaw's old city, and the deportation of 650,000 civilians. The measure recognizes the Warsaw Uprising as the largest urban uprising against Nazi Germany during World War II and celebrates it as a symbol of Polish resistance, courage, and commitment to freedom and independence. The resolution also reaffirms the strong partnership between the United States and Poland, highlighting shared values of democracy and human rights, and calls on the President to work with the Polish government to ensure the legacy of the uprising is remembered. As a commemorative resolution, this measure carries symbolic rather than legislative weight and does not authorize any spending or create new policies.
