Monument for the Fallen and Murdered in the East

Warsaw, Poland

On the intersection of Muranowska and Andersa Street, not far from the New Town, there is a Monument for the Fallen and Murdered in the East, commemorating all the victims of the Soviets who after they had invaded Poland in 1939, deported the population of Eastern Poland to Gulags and killed about 30 000 P.o.W in Katyn. The bronze cast monument includes a piece of a railway track and a wagon similar to those used by the Soviets for deportations.

Numerous symbols representing the ethnic and religious mixture that used to populate Polands Easter Borderland were placed on the wagon, along with the names of the places emptied of the Poles.
