Warsaw's "eighth sister"

At the end of WWII, the retreating Germans bombed all the buildings in Warsaw, so everything here is new (by European standards). The older-style building shown here was built by the Russians as a gift to the Polish people, and is modeled after the "seven sisters" in Moscow. It was assembled using materials from destroyed monuments across Poland at the end of the war.
