In the famous Rynek with David and Charlotte Tanner from Las Vegas and their son Elder Tim Tanner who served in Poland and will be released when he arrives home. This town square was bombed and totally destroyed by Hitler during WWII. It has been rebuilt exactly how it was. When a new missionary arrives he or she comes here in their first few hours and they begin contacting people.
In Ogrod Saski (Saxon Park). In this secluded and special area, President Monson and Elder Russel M. Nelson offered a prayer to reopen missionary work in Poland as the hand of communism fell. Twenty years to the day, July 1, 1990 the Poland Warsaw Mission was established. As Elder Nelson has told us, we thank the Catholic Church in that the Minister of Religion wanted so badly to break up the dominance of that religion and felt they needed some competition, that he eagerly allowed the Church to come into their country and gave us a beautiful site where our only chapel now stands. This is a beautiful area and like a sacred grove in this country.
Also in this area are the remains of the Palace. The city of Warsaw was bombed for months and Hilter ordered it destroyed. The remains of this structure is now a memorial with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
