Witold Pilecki Monument in Warsaw

Witold Pilecki Monument in Warsaw, War memorial in Żoliborz district, Warsaw, Poland.

The Witold Pilecki Monument in Warsaw is a war memorial made of granite and bronze located on Aleja Wojska Polskiego in the Żoliborz district. The sculpture displays a full-length figure of the officer in military dress, positioned prominently in this urban setting.

The memorial was unveiled in 2017 to honor a Polish cavalry officer who volunteered to enter Auschwitz during World War II to gather information. He documented Nazi crimes and organized underground resistance from within the camp.

The monument was unveiled on 13 May 2017, the 116th anniversary of Witold Pilecki's birth, by his children Andrzej and Zofia. The ceremony was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Warsaw Mayor Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz. The site is used for annual commemorations on this date.

The monument stands on the central reservation of Aleja Wojska Polskiego, on the axis of Bitwy pod Rokitną Street, in the Żoliborz district. It marks the area near the spot where Pilecki was arrested on 19 September 1940. The bronze sculpture was cast on 31 October 2016 and unveiled on 13 May 2017, the 116th anniversary of his birth.

The monument stands near the spot where Pilecki was arrested on 19 September 1940. Its location was proposed by Krzysztof Bugla, the mayor of Żoliborz, and accepted by Pilecki's daughter Zofia Pilecka-Optułowicz. The sculpture was cast on 31 October 2016.
