WARSAW, Poland—World War II veterans, Warsaw residents and Poland’s leaders stood at attention Wednesday as sirens wailed during anniversary ceremonies honoring the fighters and victims of the city’s ill-fated 1944 revolt against the Nazi occupation.

Warsaw traffic stopped for a minute’s remembrance as the sirens sounded at 5 p.m., the exact hour when the Aug. 1 revolt started 74 years ago.
