Monument to the Defenders of Mława in Uniszki What is it? The monument to an infantryman rising to attack with a bayonet in his hand in Uniszki Zawadzkie, designed by Barbara and Andrzej Wachn, was unveiled in May 1985. The Battle of Mlawa took place north of Mlawa between September 1 and 3, 1939. It was one of the first battles of Poland's defensive war and during World War II in general. About 70 meters behind the monument are the ruins of a Polish battle shelter. Inside it, the Mausoleum of September Soldiers has been created. Explain what your object would mean for your heritage as an individual and as part of a larger community (your family, you town/city, your country). This statue is important to me because now with the war in Ukraine, I and the rest of the world are reminded what war is really like. There are no winners in the war, only death and destruction. Almost 3,200 soldiers died in the battle that this statue represents, of whom we know 864 by name, the rest are known only to God. To all of them I and the community to which I belong owe gratitude and great respect. The monument is a reminder that this great drama actually happened. It represents the immense scale of the devastation suffered by Mlawa during World War II and the indignities meted out by the aggressors to the residents. - Little is said about the drama of the civilian population. About the women who were raped and humiliated. Because war is about these dramas, it is not only about the soldier. We must remember this.
