Warsaw, Poland
The Jan Nowak-Jeziorański Bench (Polish pronunciation: [ˈjan ˈnɔ.vak jɛ.ʑɔˈraɲ.ski], Ławeczka Jana Nowaka-Jeziorańskiego) is a bronze statue in Warsaw, Poland, placed in the Marshal Edward Rydz-Śmigły Park in font of a tenement house at 178A Czerniakowska Street. The monument was dedicated to Jan Nowak-Jeziorański (1914–2005), a 20th-century journalist, writer, politician, political scientist, social activist, and soldier, who, during the Second World War, served in the Polish resistance, most notably as remembered for his work as an emissary shuttling between the commanders of the Home Army and the Polish government-in-exile in London and other Allied governments which gained him the nickname, and for his participation in the Warsaw Uprising, and as the head of the Polish section of Radio Free Europe after the war. It was designed by Wojciech Gryniewicz, and unveiled on 19 October 2006.
