This is a small statue symbolizing a huge gesture.
Near the historic center, a few steps from the Castle Square has a huge symbolic connotation recent tragic past of Warsaw. @gargio76

For me, this statue is a very sad matter. War is always terrible, and it is even more terrible when children take up arms and go to fight. It is a sad place referring to a sad history.

We visited this monument on the Free Orange tour (just paid what we felt right at the end) but he described the story and what this little statue really meant. Worth seeing alongside a tour that explains what the people went through in WW2.

A statue honouring the aid children in the scouting movement and
others brought to fighters in the uprising against the nazis. I listened to a teacher who brought his class of grade 3s telling them about how kids like themselves were bringing ammunition, food and water to the adult fighters.

A solitary statue of a child dressed in over-sized combat boots and helmet, which serve as a tragic reminder of the price Poland paid for it's survival, and a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Poles

This is a monument to a child soldier, fighting in the 1944 Warsaw uprising. The monument is just s stone throw from the square, alongside the outer wall. Worth a visit as many children perished in the fighting

We understood from our passionate Walkative guide Andrei about the symbolism behind this statue. During the war this was a symbol of courage and inspired soldiers to continue their fight.

It is impossible to visit any part of this historic city without meeting the Second World War or more particularly the Uprising in some way. This small statue, tucked away near the old town is a poignant reminder of just how many people were affected and in many cases gave their lives in this terrible time. The story of this little boy deserves to be remembered.

On our walking tour our guide told us that this is based on a myth. Children were used in the Warsaw uprising to carry messages but were not allowed to carry guns, fight or even be near the front lines
