A memorial for soldiers who perished in WWII The tomb was constructed in 1925 beneath the arcades of the 17th-century Saxon Palace, a huge and majestic structure in Pilsudski Square. When the Nazis blew up the palace in 1944, amazingly, the only part of the building to survive was the fragment standing directly over the tomb. The surviving fragment has been repaired and today stands over the tomb, its sheared-off edges and columns still visible. The tomb includes an eternal flame and is guarded at all times by two soldiers. Unlike the guards at Buckingham Palace, these guards are allowed to move around and to interact with people. 
The Warsaw Uprising Monument- signifies the resistance of the Nazi occupation in World War Two. The monument was designed by Kucma and J. Budyn and erected in 1989. Warsaw Daily News|National Museum in Warsaw Web Site|American Embassy of Warsaw Poland|Hotels Poland.Com|Polish Lot Airlines |
