Memory Wall in the museum’s Freedom Park

Memory Wall in the museum's Freedom Park

More than 18 thousand insurgents and 180 thousand civilians died in the Uprising (many in mass murders conducted by German troops both during the occupation and as they retreated). The names of some of the thousands of insurgents who died in the battle in August and September of 1944 are engraved on the gray granite slabs. So far, more than 6,000 names have been added, but the list is continuously being supplemented with new names from survivors or relatives.
