Pomnik Bohaterow Getta

Reviewed By RRaposoMiami - Miami, United States

Just outside the Polish Museum of Jewish history sits this powerful monument to the Polish Jews and the persecution and Germany's occupation during WWII. Its located in the area of the old Warsaw Jewish Ghetto, now a totally rebuilt area. There are two sides to the large wall structure and some other nearby pieces. The figures coming out of the wall are quite stirring. Don't miss this stop in Warsaw.

Monument to the Warsaw Uprising Fighters

Reviewed By israroz - Ra'anana, Israel

The impressive monument to the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 is located against the background of the green (and impressive in itself) structure of the Polish Supreme Court. Dedicated to the Polish freedom fighters who rebelled against the German occupier in 1944. The monument consists of 2 parts, one of which features a group of warriors on the barricades they are protecting. In the other part of the monument, located on the other side of the square, another group of warriors is seen descending into the sewers that served as hidden means of movement throughout Warsaw. An amazing and impressive monument NOT 2 B MISSED.

Memorial at Mila 18

Reviewed By Hawk470 - Baltimore, United States

Warsaw is many things. Vibrant European capital. Center of Polish history. City of many museums, parks, and beautiful (or in some cases far from beautiful) buildings. And, for Jews, a place of pilgrimage and memory. Among the many significant stops on this route of pilgrimage, Mila 18 stands tall for what it represents. It sits upon the headquarters bunker for the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. A mound, like an ancient burial ground, an obelisk atop commemorating the events in several languages, a roughhewn memorial stone recounting the story of the location and its significance in the briefest of terms and the names of 51 of the heroes who perished fighting rather than be dragged off to slaughter. That is all. Nothing grand. Just simple, reverent, and plain spoken. If you don’t know the story of the resistance fighters’ selfless heroism, you may want more narrative. For me, however, its minimalism is its strength. The simplicity lets the mind commune with those who sacrificed all, against impossible odds, to say to those seeking to destroy the Jewish people – “Not here. Not now. Not without the fight of your lives.” Knowing that this is their final resting place filled me with sadness, awe, and resolve. A short walk from both the POLIN Museum and the Pawiak Prison Museum, this tribute to heroism should not be missed.
