Souvenirs from the Warsaw Uprising, are difficult to obtain. The intense and relatively short period of the uprising, resulted in a small number of souvenirs that were produced at the time. Residents focused on survival and kept the use of any materials to a minimum. Included, in addition to presses from both the pre-insurgency and later periods, is a sheet metal cross.
Made during the period of the uprising, it is one of the few souvenirs that were made then and "on the spot." The plate informed of the resting place of Home Army liaison officer Hanna Maria Judeyko, alias "Janeczka," who died on August 28, 1944 in the Old Town, 28 days after the uprising began. She is now buried in the Powązki War Cemetery. The plaque allowed the identification of the burial place, the transfer of the corpse and became a valuable monument that can now remind us of this tragic event.
