Reference excerpt

The statue of Stanisława Leszczyńska (Polish pronunciation: [sta.ɲiˈswa.va lɛʂˈt͡ʂɘ̟ɲ.ska]; Polish: Pomnik Stanisławy Leszczyńskiej) is a monument in Warsaw, Poland, located within the neighbourhood of Powiśle in the Downtown district. It is placed in front of the Duchess Anna of Masovia Clinical Hospital at 2 Karowa Street. The bronze statue is dedicated to Stanisława Leszczyńska, a 20th-century midwife, who while incarcerated at the Auschwitz concentration camp from 1943 to 1945, during Second World War, delivered over 3,000 children. It was designed by Andrzej Renes, and unveiled on 8 May 2026.

History The monument is dedicated to Stanisława Leszczyńska (1896–1974), a 20th-century midwife, who while incarcerated at the Auschwitz concentration camp from 1943 to 1945, during Second World War, delivered over 3,000 children. While doing so she deified orders from the camp head physician Josef Mengele, to deny care to birthing mothers and kill the newborns, risking her own life. The bronze sculpture was designed by sculptor Andrzej Renes, and unveiled on 8 May 2026, in the 130th anniversary of Leszczyńska's birth, with the date also being celebrated as the Midwife Day in her commemoration. The memorial was placed in front of the Duchess Anna of Masovia Clinical Hospital, which previously housed the Warsaw Municipal School of Midwifery, from which Leszczyńska graduated in 1922.

Characteristics The monument has a form of a bronze statue, depicting Stanisława Leszczyńska in a midwife gown, holding two newborns in her hands at her chest. Its base has a shape of a triangle, with a letter P in an inverted triangle and number 41335 inscribed on its side. The former symbolises a concentration camp badge which was worn on prison uniforms, with a red inverted triangle with the letter P being assigned to Polish political prisoners. The latter symbolises the inmate identification number assigned in the Auschwitz concentration camp to Leszczyńska, and which was forcibly tattooed on her arm. To the left of the statue is placed a stone rectangular plinth, stylilised to resemble a broken portion of a chimney flue, placed on its side, reminined of the one used by Leszczyńska as a makeshift midwife table in the Auschwitz concentration camp. On the front side, it bares an inscription in Polish which reads:

On its top, it has an inscribed list of some of the children saved by Stanisława Leszczyńska from being killed by the German camp officers. It begins with Polish sentence "Imiona dzieci ocalonych", which translates to "The names of saved children", and is followed by the list, with the following names: Elżbieta, Nikola, Gienadij, Larisa, Anna, Helena, Tadeusz, Bogdan, Józefa, Zofia, Janina, Jan, Maria, Marla, Olga, Józef, Mikołaj, Tadeusz, Teresa, Krzysztof, Zdzisław, Jerzy, Róża, Henryk, Władimir, Stanisława, Anton, Władimir, Władysław, Jerzy, Władimir, Walentin, Teresa, Józef, Wiktor, Ludmiła, Fiodor, Katia, Ryszard, Jolanta, Luba, Walenty, Elżbieta, Janina, Władysław, Anatol, Maria, Galina, Heinz, Maciej, Teresa, Stefania, Galina, Andrej, Wiktor, Maria, Elżbieta, Anatol, Alexander, Teresa, Regina, Stanisława, Maria, Tamara, Leonid, Alła, Anatolij, Ryszard, Jerzy, Longin, Krystyna, Leokadia, Maria, Ewa, Marek, Valentina, Marek, Józef, Ewa, Leokadia, Zdzisław, and Irena. Both the statue and the plinth are placed on a short stone pedestal with a square base. It bares a Polish inscription which reads: "Stanisława Leszczyńska; bohaterska położna z Auschwitz", and translates to "Stanisława Leszczyńska; the hero midwife of Auschwitz".

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Statue of Stanisława Leszczyńska

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Statue of Stanisława Leszczyńska claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Statue of Stanisława Leszczyńska before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Statue of Stanisława Leszczyńska ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Statue of Stanisława Leszczyńska

In research: Statue of Stanisława Leszczyńska appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Statue of Stanisława Leszczyńska in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Statue of Stanisława Leszczyńska is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2026 establishments in Poland, 2026 sculptures, Auschwitz concentration camp, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Statue of Stanisława Leszczyńska outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
