Funeral for Polish WWII hero held in Warsaw


A funeral with military honors was held in Poland's capital Monday for a World War II hero and resistance fighter who took part in the 1944 Warsaw Uprising. His daughter Wanda Likiernik-Henny said during the funeral held in the military section of the Powazki cemetery that Poland had "always been his greatest love." Likiernik, who was Jewish, fought and was injured in the failed struggle to liberate Warsaw in 1944. He nevertheless was critical of the decision by resistance commanders to wage the struggle for Warsaw. Monday's funeral included a military salute fired and wreaths from President Andrzej Duda and Poland's prime minister and defense minister were laid before the urn bearing Likiernik's ashes.
