The monument commemorates the Polish Underground State and the Home Army (Polish: Armia Krajowa – AK) acting during World War II. In the beginning of WW II, after joined German and Soviet invasion of Poland in September 1939, the decision was taken to establish the Polish Underground State with its government (so-called "government on exile", initially in France, and after downfall of France in 1940, in Great Britain), and also the Armed Resistance operating on the territory of occupied Poland, which in 1942 was transformed into the Home Army. It was the largest resistance movement in Europe during World War II. Made from granite, the monument is engraved with the names of the leaders of the Polish underground and the institutions which continued to function during the war. The Anchor attached to the monument was a World War II emblem of the Polish Underground State and the Home Army. The P and W letters forming the Anchor emblem mean: Fighting Poland (Polish: Polska Walcząca) and became a patriotic symbol of resistance against occupiers. The emblem was painted on building walls.
