Small monument from 1966 at the site of the gate of a prisoner-of-war camp for soldiers of the Western armies.
The Stalag 369 Monument stands in Kraków in the Dębniki district, on ulica Żywiecka, in General de Gaulle Square. It commemorates a German prisoner-of-war camp in which French, Belgian and Dutch soldiers were held during the Second World War.
Stalag 369 was a German prisoner-of-war camp for French, Belgian and Dutch soldiers. The monument was placed where the gate of the camp used to be.
The initiator was Prof. Jan Harasymowicz, one of the organisers of aid for the prisoners, and the design was made by Prof. Wiktor Zin. The monument consists of a granite boulder with a bronze plaque bearing the camp's logo and a Polish inscription. The boulder stands on a plinth, on which the camp's logo is also placed, along with two bronze plaques with translations of the inscription into French and Dutch. It was unveiled on 3 August 1966.
