Warsaw Ghetto Fighters Monument, 51 Prosta Street, with information about forty Jewish Combatants escaping through sewage canals

---

The monument to the Warsaw Ghetto Fighters, at 51 Prosta Street, was unveiled 25 May 2010 at the very place where on 10 May 1943 forty combatants of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising were evacuated from the sewage canals, loaded onto a truck and transported to freedom. Most of those rescued fought again in the Warsaw Uprising in August 1944. The English inscription here reads: 'Here, on 10 May 1943, Simcha Rotem-Ratayer, nom de guerre "Kazik", combatant in the ghetto uprising, led the last group of some forty fighters of the Jewish Combat Organisation through sewage canals, out of the burning ghetto. They later continued their armed struggle as members of partisan units and in the Warsaw Uprising. Some of them survived the war, bearing witness to the heroism of the Warsaw ghetto.'
