Description

By the Museum of the History of the Polish Jews is a monument to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943. On the square below the wall is a circular plaque inscribed with the message: ” Those who fell in the unprecedented heroic struggle for the Dignity and Freedom of the Jewish people, for Free Poland, for the liberation of man – Polish Jews”, in Polish, Yiddish and Hebrew. This was unveiled in 1946 and is encased in red sandstone to symbolise the bloodshed. The wall behind came later, in 1948, designed by Natan Rapaport and intended to resemble Jerusalem’s Western Wall and the wall of the Warsaw Ghetto. On the eastern side of the monument a bronze bas-relief depicts Jewish children, women and elderly being driven by German soldiers. On the west side the monument shows the uprising of April 1943 with a relief titled “Fight”.
