The Monument to the Ghetto Heroes in Warsaw's Muranów district commemorates the residents of the Warsaw Ghetto who fought against the Germans during the April 1943 uprising. The first monument was unveiled on April 16, 1946 at the initiative of the Central Committee of Jews in Poland. It consists of two parts: a plaque with an inscription in three languages and a slab with a palm leaf and the Hebrew letter "bet". It symbolizes martyrdom, the memory of the fallen and the manholes of the sewers through which the fighters escaped from the ghetto.
