Place of Remembrance and Monument with a "Fighting Poland" Symbol
This card comes from the Warsaw Uprising Museum (or sometimes Warsaw Rising Museum). It is of a permanent exhibit featuring three mock-graves similar to those that would have been used during the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 when the city of Warsaw rose against the Nazi occupiers from 1 August – 2 October 1944 in an attempt to free the city.
The exhibit features a large number of back-lit photos (seen in this card as the specks of light) representing the 10,000 plus fighters and the 150,000–200,000 citizens killed trying to free the city.
