Monument to the Warsaw Rising

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:22:06

One of Warsaw’s most important landmarks, this striking bronze tableau depicts Armia Krajowa (AK; Home Army) fighters emerging ghostlike from the shattered brickwork of their ruined city, while others descend through a manhole into the network of sewers. The monument was unveiled on 1 August 1989, the 45th anniversary of the doomed revolt against German military occupation in 1944.
