In Wenceslas Square, where most of the demonstrations took place, you will also find the memorial to Jan Palach and Jan Zajíc, but I recommend moving a few meters from the fountain, in front of the National Museum, also in Wenceslas Square, to find a horizontal cross, which seems melted, and which is the place where Jan Palach set himself on fire .
A work different from the memorials, horizontal 99 acres data and not vertical, dramatic and intense. The Poznan Uprising (1956) Adam Mickiewicz University of Poznań Adam Mickiewicz University of Poznań The situation of Polish workers in the 1950s was quite critical, and factory workers responded to the exasperation of working conditions with riots.

The uprising was violently repressed, with numerous deaths and injuries, but aware of the leaks in neighboring countries and the rest of Poland, political leaders granted some salary openings and rights to workers.
uprising Not far from the Adam Mickiewicz University and its park, both very beautiful, quiet and hidden, obviously not particularly beautiful, you can find the Monument to the Heroes of Poznań 1956 (Poznańskie Krzyże), summarized in two crosses with laces and a list of dates.
