This monument dedicated to the courage of the Jewish resistance stands in a square which was once at the heart of the Warsaw ghetto. It marks the site of the first armed clash between the Jewish inhabitants of Warsaw and German troops. The sculpture movingly captures the resolution and helplessness of the insurgents. The structure is made of Swedish granite, which ironically was ordered by Hitler and originally intended to be used for a monument to celebrate the glory of the Third Reich. It was erected in 1948, at a time when much of Warsaw was still in ruins.
