Poznańskie Krzyże, Memorial monument in central Poznań, Poland
Two immense steel crosses, reaching heights of 19.5 and 21 meters, stand as permanent markers on Adam Mickiewicz Square in central Poznań.
The memorial was unveiled on June 28, 1981, commemorating the 25th anniversary of workers' protests against communist authorities in June 1956.
Annual ceremonies at the memorial bring together thousands of citizens to remember those who fought for freedom during the communist period.
The monument includes inscriptions with dates of major historical events and the protesters' main demands for freedom, law, and bread.
The right cross displays dates of subsequent protests while the left cross bears the year 1956, symbolizing death and resurrection.
