Wola Massacre Memorial, Górczewska Street

In early August 1944, German troops sent to suppress the Warsaw Uprising massacred 40,000–50,000 inhabitants of the district of Wola, mainly in organised mass executions.

After rounding up and killing the victims, the Germans burned the bodies, which made a precise determination of the number of people murdered here impossible.

It is known, however, that among the victims were residents of the following streets: Działdowska, Gostyńska, Górczewska, Moczydło, Płocka, Rabsztyńska, Skierniewicka, Sokołowska, Staszica, Syreny, Szlenkierów, św.

In 2004, a Nissan car showroom was built in the area behind the memorial and there was a proposal to transfer the cross to the nearby railway embankment.

As a result, the memorial was left intact, and the Council for the Protection of Struggle and Martyrdom Sites and the authorities of the City of Warsaw also decided to renovate it.
