Pomnik żołnierzy AK poległych w ataku na Dworzec Gdański w Warszawie, monument in Żoliborz, Poland
The Pomnik żołnierzy AK poległych w ataku na Dworzec Gdański in Warsaw is a memorial to Home Army soldiers who died in 1944 during an attack on a train station. It consists of a stone obelisk with a bronze figure of a mourning woman holding a red rose and displays an inscription honoring the fallen.
The memorial was erected in the 1950s, just a few years after the uprising of 1944. The attack on the train station took place between August 20 and 22, 1944, when soldiers attempted to break through German lines.
The monument stands at the spot where soldiers once departed for battle, giving it a strong connection to the local community. The bronze figure of a mourning woman with a rose was added later to honor the suffering of women who lost loved ones during the war.
The memorial is located at the corner of Mickiewicza Street and General Zajaczek Street in the Zoliborz area. The site is easy to reach and offers a quiet space for reflection and remembrance.
An inscription featuring verses by Polish poet Julius Slowacki was carved into the memorial's platform to express the courage and sacrifice of the fighters. These literary words give the memorial a deeper poetic meaning.
