The anchor-shaped symbol of the Warsaw Uprising will appear on the Intraco building for the 7th time. The lights lit in 72 windows, on 8 floors between the 30th and 37th floor of the office building situated in Warsaw at ul. Stawki 2, will form the anchor-shaped symbol of Fighting Poland. The symbol commemorating the insurgents and city residents will be visible from up to 5 kilometers.

“We pay tribute to the heroes who fought for the capital’s liberation.The symbol of Fighting Poland — the characteristic anchor which symbolizes our memory and connection with those who lived and fought in Warsaw 76 years ago — will appear once again on the Intraco building.On the stroke of the “W” hour, when the sound of sirens can be heard, we think about the sacrifice made by the insurgents and city residents and about the values that were most important to them,” said Marcin Mazurek, President of the Management Board of Polski Holding Nieruchomości S.A.

The Warsaw Uprising broke out on August 1, 1944 at 5 p.m. and was the largest military effort undertaken by the underground resistance in German-occupied Europe. The uneven fight lasted for over two months. The anchor-shaped symbol of Fighting Poland was widely used during World War II as the symbol of the Polish Underground State and the Home Army. The sign in which the letter P stands for Poland, and W-shaped arms mean fight (“walka” in Polish) or an “anchor”, symbolizes the hope for regaining independence.
