Tchorek plaques

Tchorek plaques are a common design of memorial plaque in Warsaw, Poland, used to commemorate places where battles or executions took place during the German occupation of the city during World War II. They are based on an original design by sculptor Karol Tchorek from 1949.

These plaques were installed at various locations in Warsaw from the 1950s until the end of the communist era in Poland, and are one of the most characteristic elements of the landscape of the capital. Many of the original plaques no longer exist, having been removed or destroyed during the ongoing modernisation and expansion of the city and its transport network. However, in 2013 there were still more than 160 Tchorek plaques within the administrative borders of Warsaw.

History

Warsaw was almost completely destroyed during World War II, and after the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 the entire population of the city was expelled by the Germans. After the Soviet army entered Warsaw in January 1945, following the departure of the Germans, inhabitants returning to the ruined city began to spontaneously commemorate places where battles or executions had taken place during the period of German occupation and the Warsaw Uprising, with crosses and makeshift memorials.

After some time, the authorities of the nascent People's Republic of Poland decided to give these memorials a more formal and organised character. This task was entrusted to the Council for the Protection of Struggle and Martyrdom Sites, established by the city of Warsaw. In the second half of the 1940s the committee decided to use memorial plaques made to a uniform design, which initially consisted of black metal plates adorned with white crosses and a brief description of the events that had taken place at the location.^[1]

In 1948, a nationwide competition was announced to create a formal design of memorial plaque to commemorate Polish struggle and martyrdom under German occupation. A year later the first prize was awarded to Warsaw sculptor Karol Tchorek who designed a type of array-relief, forged in grey sandstone, with a Maltese cross in the middle.^[2] Starting from the 1950s, "Tchorek plaques" were used to commemorate martyrdom sites in Warsaw and the surrounding suburban towns (including Marki and Opacz Kolonia). Tchorek's design continued to be used until the end of the communist era, and even as late as 1994.^[3] According to Ella Chmielewska, the plaques have merged into the landscape of the city to the extent that they are often treated not as works of art, but as a specific element of the urban information system.^[4]

In 1962, the Citizens Committee for the Protection of Monuments of Struggle and Martyrdom decided that young people would be entrusted with looking after individual plaques, and most still have their own patrons today. This function is generally performed by schools, public institutions, enterprises, community organisations and professional associations.^[5]

Tchorek originally intended the plaques to have a central inscription which read: "This place is sanctified by the blood of martyrdom of Poles fighting for freedom" but this was changed during the implementation of the project to: "This place is sanctified by the blood of Poles fighting for the freedom of their homeland." His proposals for the text describing the commemorated events on individual plaques were also repeatedly modified without his knowledge and consent.^[6] This state of affairs became a cause of persistent conflict between Tchorek and the communist bureaucracy. In 1968 a dispute with the Laboratory of Visual Arts over the copyright and remuneration for the lettering of 51 plaques and 35 monoliths was settled in his favour.^[7]

The wording of the text was always heavily influenced by political pressure. Most of the plaques commemorate German atrocities that took place during the Warsaw Uprising, an event that the communist authorities of the People's Republic of Poland found highly controversial, as it was organised by the Polish resistance movement which had fought for Poland's independence during World War 2 - principally the Home Army, the remnants of which were brutally suppressed by the post-war Stalinist regime. The significance of the uprising was downplayed for many years after the Second World War, while the Home Army and wartime Polish government were condemned by communist propaganda. These political factors made official memorialisation of the Warsaw Uprising impossible for decades after the war.

For this reason the inscriptions on Tchorek plaques had to be carefully worded to comply with official censorship, principally to avoid any direct reference to the Warsaw Uprising or the Home Army, although they sometimes contain indirect references - for example, in some cases the text mentions "insurgents" or that the commemorated event took place in an "insurgent hospital".

Another linguistic convention used in the inscriptions is that the Germans are always referred to as "Hitlerowcy" (Hitlerites).

The exact number of Tchorek plaques that were created is not known. At the end of 1983 there were still approximately 200 in existence.^[8] In his 1987 registry, Stanislaw Ciepłowski evaluated their number at about 180.^[9] In this article we describe 165 plaques located within the administrative boundaries of the city of Warsaw.

Appearance

Tchorek plaques are made of sandstone and are either displayed on the walls of buildings or exist as free-standing monoliths. In some cases plaques were added to preserved fragments of buildings that were destroyed during the war. There is often a small metal sign next to the plaque which indicates who is the patron of the memorial.

The central motif of the original design is the Maltese Cross. The shield in the middle of the cross is usually adorned with the inscription: "MIEJSCE UŚWIĘCONE KRWIĄ POLAKÓW POLEGŁYCH ZA WOLNOŚĆ OJCZYZNY" ("a place sanctified by the blood of Poles fallen for the freedom of the fatherland"), although there are minor variations.

Under the Maltese cross symbol there is a short inscription containing basic information about the event that is being commemorated. These inscriptions sometimes contain grammatical, spelling and punctuation errors (a result of the rush accompanying their creation). There are also occasional factual errors - for example, an incorrect date or an inaccurate number of victims. In several cases, Tchorek plaques commemorate events about which there is no mention in historical sources. In 2009, the city of Warsaw appointed a team that made an inventory of the plaques still in existence - however, no attempt was made to correct errors in the inscriptions.

A slightly different form of plaque was used to commemorate Holocaust victims, or the martyrdom of Soviet prisoners of war. Such plaques are distinguished by the lack of the Maltese cross symbol and a shorter central inscription: "CZEŚĆ ICH PAMIĘCI" ("honour to their memory").

Some Tchorek plaques are now in poor condition. Since the end of communist rule in Poland many new memorials have been created in Warsaw (which have no uniform design) and in many cases they directly supersede the original Tchorek plaques.

That information is not confirmed by research by GKBZH (who investigated the crimes later) or in publications devoted to the Uprising in Mokotów. According to some researchers, the plaque should be treated as a general tribute to the children Mokotow, killed and murdered during the Warsaw Uprising.[36]

	4 Barska Street	On the wall of a building	"The place sanctified by the blood of Poles who died for the freedom of their homeland. Here on February 10, 1944, the Hitlerites shot 140 Poles"	The plaque commemorates the victims of street executions carried out by the Nazi-German occupants in retaliation for the assassination of SS-Brigadeführer Franz Kutschera. It is not known exactly how many Poles were shot at this place, since 10 February 1944 summary executions also took place at 79/81 Wolska and in the ruins of the ghetto. The number of victims has been taken from the German announcement and is likely to be underestimated.[37]
	22/24 Grójecka Street	On the pedestal at the side of the building	"The place sanctified by the blood of Poles who died for the freedom of their homeland. Here on August 5, 1944, the Hitlerites executed 40 Poles"	The plaque commemorates Polish civilians murdered by the Germans during the Ochota massacre.

Here in the occupation of 1939-1944, the Hitlerites carried out mass executions"	During the occupation, an academic home at Plac Narutowicza (Narutowicza Square) was converted into a barracks for the German Order Police. In the basement there was a detention area, in which inhabitants of the capital (including persons detained during mass round-ups) were tortured and murdered. In turn, in the first days of the Warsaw Uprising the basement of the building was used to round up the inhabitants of the surrounding houses. At least 38 Polish men were then shot in the courtyard of the barracks.[40]
	47/51 Grójecka Street	On the wall of a building	"The place sanctified by the blood of Poles who died for the freedom of their homeland. Here 9 November 1943, the Hitlerites shot 40 Poles"	The plaque commemorates the victims of the street execution conducted in the period when SS-Brigadeführer Franz Kutschera occupied a post of SS and Police Leader of the Warsaw District. The number of victims, which informs the writing on the plaque, is erroneous, as it covers all the hostages executed on this day in different parts of the city. In fact, at the intersection of Wawel and Grójecka, about 20 Poles were shot.[41]
	95 Grójecka Street	On a portion of the wall	"The place sanctified by the blood of Poles who died for the freedom of their homeland. Here in August and September 1944, the Hitlerites executed hundreds of Poles"	The plaque is located in the prewar vegetable market "Zieleniak" (currently Targowisko Banacha).

After the fall of the last insurgent stronghold in Ochota (called "Wawelska" Redoubt) RONA brigade soldiers killed more than 80 people in the area - the wounded insurgents and civilians suspected of being involved in the uprising. One of the victims was Father Jan Salamucha (chaplain of AK "Ochota").[43]
	221 Niepodległości Avenue	On the façade of the building	"The place sanctified by the blood of Poles who died for the freedom of their homeland. In this house on 7 August 1944, the Hitlerites murdered about 50 people, residents of the block.

On August 7, 1944 about 53 people were shot and killed in the house at 217/223 Niepodległości Avenue. Among the victims were many women and children.[44]
	78 Nowogrodzka Street	On the façade of a building	"The place sanctified by the blood of Poles who died for the freedom of their homeland.

	7 Wąski Dunaj Street	On the wall of the building (facing the Rycerska Street)	"The place sanctified by the blood of Poles who died for the freedom of their homeland. Here September 2, 1944, the Hitlerites shot 70 Poles"	The plaque commemorates the patients of hospitals during the uprising, taken prisoner and executed by the Germans after the fall of the Old City (2 September 1944). In the area at least 70 people were killed.[81]
	9 Wierzbowa Street	On the wall of a building	"The place sanctified by the blood of Poles who died for the freedom of their homeland. Here, December 14, 1943, the Hitlerites shot 130 Poles"	The plaque commemorates the victims of the street execution conducted in the period when SS-Brigadeführer Franz Kutschera occupied a post of SS and Police Leader of the Warsaw District. On December 14, 1943 about 70 prisoners of Pawiak prison were executed in this place.[100]
	11 Wierzbowa Street	On the front wall of the building	"The place sanctified by the blood of Poles who died for freedom. Here, December 11, 1943, the Hitlerites executed Poles"	The historical events listed on the plaque lack information in historical sources. Probably the plaque found in this place is a result of a mistake, because the only overt execution of hostages in the region of Wierzbowa Street took place on December 14, 1943 and is commemorated with a separate plaque. Originally the inscription on the plaque told of the shooting of 100 Poles (currently the number 100 is cemented over).[101]
	11 Wierzbowa Street	On the wall of the building (from the yard)	"The place sanctified by the blood of Poles who died for the freedom of their homeland.

	6 Wilanowska Street	On the wall of a building	"The place sanctified by the blood of Poles who died for the freedom of their homeland. Here, August 2, 1944, the Hitlerites shot 14 Poles"	The historical events listed on the plaque lack information in historical sources. It is unlikely that any execution took place there on the second day of the Warsaw Uprising, because German troops did not reach this section of the street before 21 September 1944.[102] Perhaps the house at 6 Wilanowska Street was mistaken for the house at 6 Wilanowska Avenue, where on 2 August 1944 Germans in fact executed about 13-14 Polish men.[103]
	15/19 Castle Square	On the wall of the building	"The place sanctified by the blood of Poles who died for the freedom of their homeland.

Victims were sent from Warsaw or from other locations in Mazovia. During the exhumation conducted after the war in the forest, they found 112 corpses of people shot in mass executions from 1939 to 1944 and another 21 people were killed in individual executions (during the occupation or during the Warsaw Uprising). Because they have only managed to find a few graves, whose existence witnesses mentioned, the number of Poles that were shot in Kabacki forest could reach a few hundred.[112]

In retaliation, on April 29, 1942, in the forest situated opposite the intersection of VIII Poprzeczna Street and Królewska Street (now Michała Kajki Street), the Germans shot 12 Poles. The information about the shooting of prisoners from Pawiak prison is wrong, because the victims of the executions were brought from the detention centre at Daniłowiczowska Street in Warsaw.[114][115]

Here, in July 1942, the Hitlerites shot 45 Jews"	The plaque commemorates the victims of the liquidation of the ghetto in Rembertów. During the march to the railway station in Falenica (from where the inhabitants of the Rembertów ghetto were to be deported to the Treblinka extermination camp) dozens of Jews tried to escape.

Examples of lost Tchorek plaques

• 137 Czerniakowska Street (monastery of the Sisters of Nazareth) – the plaque commemorated the fierce battles fought in the area during the Warsaw Uprising. On 27–28 August 1944, soldiers of the AK "Baszta” (Tower) regiment mastered the strong point of resistance in the monastery complex of the Sisters of Nazareth, which was one of the elements of the German barrier separating downtown from the insurgent Mokotów. In 1996 the plaque was replaced by a new type of Tchorek plaque which described more specifically the commemorated events and the role played in them by the AK "Baszta”.^[167]
• Kopińska Street (next to the tunnel by the West Railway Station (Warszawa Zachodnia)) – the plaque commemorated the victims of the street execution conducted in the period when SS-Brigadeführer Franz Kutschera occupied a post of SS and Police Leader of the Warsaw District. On 17 November 1943, several dozen of Pawiak prison inmates were executed in this place. The plaque was accidentally destroyed during the reconstruction of the track. Currently, victims of execution are commemorated by a new type of plaque, set on Jerozolimskie Avenue near the West Railway Station.^[168]
• Krakowska Avenue, at the corner with Materii Street – a plaque commemorated the AK soldiers killed in the second day of the Warsaw Uprising. On August 2, 1944, the Germans surrounded, and then set fire to the house at 175 Krakowska Avenue. In the flames or by German bullets, 50 soldiers and several nurses were killed. In 1992 the plaque was replaced with a cross.^[169][170]
