A powerful Polish commemorative issued in 1984, this 16 zł stamp honors the Monument to the Martyrology of Children in Łódź—dedicated to the thousands of children who suffered and perished during the German occupation in WWII.
The design by W. Surowiecki features a stark sculptural form with silhouetted child figures, rendered in somber tones that emphasize remembrance and national mourning.
Printed by PWPW (Polish Security Printing Works), the stamp captures an essential part of Poland’s wartime memory and remains a meaningful addition to thematic collections on WWII history, monuments, and human rights.
Highly sought after among Poland collectors for its emotional impact and clean, minimalist composition.
