Summary

[edit]
Description
English: People salvage items from the ruins of their homes near the Vistula River after German air raids during the siege of Warsaw in September 1939. A young boy, Zygmunt Askienow, with his rescued pet canary among the ruins of his home.

In the words of photographer Julien Bryan,

"Not far from the center of town a bomb had hit an apartment house and exposed the first, second, and third floors. A boy was walking dazedly back and forth carrying the one possession he had found -- a canary in its cage. He walked up and down over a pile of stones and bricks. Under the pile there were nine or ten bodies, so the neighbors told us, not yet recovered." [Source: Bryan, Julien. "Warsaw 1939 Siege, 1959 Warsaw Revisited. p. 24"]
According to Smithsonian article from November 2010, Aksienow, who would grow up to be a coal miner, recalls that two large bombs had fallen near his family’s apartment building and “the street was full of broken glass, furniture and parts of human bodies.” A bird cage “blew out of a house, along with a window” and landed in the rubble. Aksienow picked it up, thinking that the canary it held—very much alive—might belong to his cousin Zofia, a neighbor. “I was a scared 9-year-old, out looking for some sign of the normal life I was used to”.
Polski: Ludność przeszukuje ruiny domów zniszczonych przez Niemiecki nalot podczas obrony Warszawy w wrześniu 1939 roku. Chłopiec, Zygmunt Askienow, z uratowanym kanarekiem chodzi po ruinach swoiego domu niedaleko Wisły.

Wedle fotografa Juliena Bryana,

"Nie daleko od centrum miasta bomby uderzył w kamienicę i otworzyły mieszkania pierwszego, drugiego i trzeciego piętra. Chłopiec chodził oszołomiony tam i z powrotem nosząc jedną rzecz jaką znalezł - kanarka w klatce. Szedł w górę i w dół po stosie kamieni i cegły. Pod stosem było jeszcze dziewięć lub dziesięć ciał, wedle tego co nam powiedzieli sąsiedzi, które nie zostały jeszcze wydobyte." [Źródło: Bryan, Julien.
