Views of the inscription on the stone memorial, dated April 19,1946, and commemorating Polish Jews who fought against German military forces in World War 2. Translated, it reads, "To those who fell in an unprecedented and heroic struggle for the dignity and freedom of the Jewish people, for a free Poland, and for the liberation of mankind. Polish Jews." Some flowers laying at the memorial site. (The round 1946 memorial tablet, with its shape symbolizing the underground manholes used during the uprising, was later incorporated into the larger Monument to the Ghetto Heroes, sculpted by Nathan Rapoport and unveiled in 1948.)
