Monument of Struggle-Martyrdom-Victory, Ciechanów, Poland
The monument was dedicated to the fallen soldiers of the Polish Army and the Home Army from the Ciechanów Land. It was created on the initiative of living former soldiers gathered in the circuit of the World Association of Home Army Soldiers. It was placed at the intersection of Armii Krajowej and Gen. Władysława Sikorskiego streets.
The place commemorating the soldiers of the Polish Army and Home Army was designed by the artist Marek Zalewski. The central part is a several-ton erratic boulder with a military eagle and the sign of Fighting Poland. Next to it, there is the main plaque with the inscription: “In tribute to the inhabitants of Ciechanów - soldiers of the Polish Army and Home Army, who fell in the fight for the homeland in 1939-1956 - from the society of Ciechanów and living veterans of the Home Army”.
On both sides of the boulder there are smaller stones dedicated to:
- murdered by Nazi Germany,
- exiles to Siberia,
- those who died on the fronts of World War II,
- fallen in partisan fights and the Warsaw Uprising,
- murdered by Stalinist Russia,
- murdered by the Polish communist Security Office.
