The monument was made in 1973 as a natural monument, located at al. John Paul II, commemorating the defense of Białystok in September 1939.

The monument was built on the initiative of Antoni Malecki, defender of Białystok in 1939, on a small hill in Wysokie Stoczek. The place commemorates the stand of the heroic defense of the city under the orders of Lt. Col. Zygmunt Szafranowski by the soldiers of the 42 Infantry Regiment, who repulsed four attacks by the Germans. The monument was realized through the use of trees growing along the route to Warsaw, "witnesses" of the 1939 war events in the form of trunks of poplars and willows, which were properly sited and arranged, which created a unique scenery for the dramatic events of those years. The monument was destroyed as a result of natural erosion and systematic devastation.
