Danuta Siedzikówna memorial

            Danuta Siedzikówna was born in 1928 and joined the Polish resistance in 1943, at the age of 15, after her father had already been deported the gulags by the Soviets and her mother was arrested and murdered by the German gestapo. 

Siedzikówna was arrested by the Soviet NKVD in June 1945 but was liberated by Polish resistance fighters who were under the command of Zygmunt Szendzielarz and were continuing the armed struggle against Poland's Soviet occupiers. She decided to join them as a medical orderly and assumed the code name "Inka". 

While on a trip to Gdańsk in July 1946 to collect medical supplies Siedzikówna was arrested by the Polish communist secret police. She was subsequently tortured and beaten, but refused to give up any information about her contacts in the anti-communist underground. She was falsely accused of taking part in an attack on functionaries of the Polish secret police near the village of Podjazy and sentenced to death. 

Siedzikówna was executed in Gdańsk six days before her 18th birthday, on 28th August 1946. The location of her burial was unknown until her remains were found in an unmarked grave in 2015.
