    monument to Danuta Czekakówna "Inka"

    Translated by Google •

      June 1, 2023

      On August 28, 1946, in Gdańsk, Danuta Czekakówna "Inka", an eighteen-year-old liaison officer and medic of the Home Army Vilnius Brigade, was murdered by the communist secret police, born in the village of Guszczewina, where this monument was erected in 2017 on the Green Velo route.

      Restoring the memory of her struggle and the circumstances of her death made "Inka" one of the symbols of the struggle of the anti-communist underground.

      The trial before the Military District Court in Gdańsk was a parody of the judiciary. The WUBP officers imposed its course on the court, limited its duration to one day and refused "Ince" the opportunity to read the indictment. All the witnesses gave incriminating "Inka" testimonies. The process took about two hours. On August 3, 1946, she was sentenced to a double death penalty for belonging to an organization that "was aimed at removing by force the established organs of the supreme power of the nation and changing by force the democratic system of the Polish state." In a secret message sent to the sisters from the prison, she wrote: "Tell my grandmother that I behaved properly." He killed Siecikówna on August 28, 1946 at At 6.15 am, the commander of the firing squad from the KBW was shot in the head. An earlier execution involving soldiers had failed; none of them wanted to kill "Inka", although they shot from three paces away. Just before her death, "Inka" shouted: "Long live Poland! Long live Łupaszko! (her commander from the Home Army)".
