Step through the Golden Gate, and your journey back in time commences. First, you'll hear the fascinating history of the Free City of Danzig between the wars, and how its personality was forever changed by the Treaty of Versailles. In these very streets, SS and SA troops marched, shaping the early ethos of the Nazi movement. But this isn't just a tale of oppressors; it's a tribute to the resilience of the oppressed. You'll hear about the events that took place at the Westerplatte Peninsula, the very place where World War II ignited on September 1, 1939. There, a monument honors the Polish army's valiant resistance against the Nazi invasion, serving as a stirring reminder of heroism amid despair.
