Memorial on Górczewska Street, War memorial in Wola district, Warsaw, Poland

The memorial on Górczewska Street is a war monument in Warsaw's Wola district featuring a steel cross and informational plaques. The site sits near Prymasa Tysiąclecia Avenue and receives ongoing maintenance from hospital staff and local authorities.

German forces executed thousands of Polish civilians at this location during the opening days of the Warsaw Uprising in August 1944. A wooden memorial was installed by hospital workers immediately after the war to mark the spot.

This site serves as a place where locals pause to remember those lost and reflect on their community's past. Visitors can see how neighbors continue to mark the importance of this location through their presence and attention.

The site is easily accessible by foot along a main street with clear visibility from the surrounding area. There are no significant barriers to visiting, making it convenient to reach at any time of day.

The original wooden cross erected by hospital workers in 1945 was replaced with a steel structure during renovations in 2010. This change strengthened the monument and ensured it would endure for future generations.
