There's a market square in Warsaw where almost everything was built after 1945 — rebuilt partly from paintings an Italian court artist made two centuries earlier, because in 1944 the Germans left the Old Town in rubble. But the buildings were the last thing on the list. Four years before the explosives, the head of the SS had already written down a plan for the Poles: their children would learn to count to 500 at most, write their own names, and obey. This is the full story of occupied Poland — a university arrested in an afternoon, a forest of secret graves, and how a city marked for erasure came to be standing again.
