The Monument to the Victims of Communist Terror 1944-1956 is located in the churchyard of the church of St Catherine, on the site where, from 1945 to 1947, the Ministry of Public Security clandestinely buried up to 2000 victims of political murders carried out at Mokotów Prison.

On All Souls' Day it is surrounded by hundreds of candle lights
placed there by people who visit their family graves at the nearby cemetery.

Thank you so much for stopping by and for your kind comments.
It's like you responded to a fragment of the poem that is engraved on one of those stones.
It starts with
Passerby! Bow your forehead! Pause your step for a moment!
Here every lump of earth flows with martyrs' blood,
This is Służewiec, these are Polish Thermopylae,
Here lie those who wanted to fight to the end.
