Garden of the Righteous in Warsaw, Memorial park in Wola district, Warsaw, Poland.
The Garden of the Righteous in Warsaw is a memorial park in the Wola district that commemorates people who helped others survive persecution and oppression through inscribed stones and planted trees. Located between Dzielna and Pawia streets near John Paul II Avenue, the grounds offer a defined space dedicated to these stories.
The park opened in 2014 as Poland entered a period of greater freedom and reflection on its modern history. Its creation came at a time when the nation was commemorating the movement that ended communist rule and honored those who protected others during persecution.
The garden honors individuals from around the world who stood up for human rights when it mattered most, with their names inscribed on stones and commemorative trees. Visitors walk among these tributes and learn how ordinary people made extraordinary choices to protect others.
The grounds are accessible on foot and situated conveniently between two main streets in the city center. Plan time to walk through and read the individual memorial stones, as the space encourages pausing and reflection.
The park was built on the grounds of the former Warsaw Ghetto, a location with profound significance for modern European history. This placement makes it a place where remembrance and healing come together.
