The Szmul Zygielbojm Monument (Polish: Pomnik Szmula Zygielbojma) is a memorial sculpture in Warsaw, Poland, placed at 6 Lewartowskiego Street, at the corner with Zamenhofa Street, within the neighbourhood of Muranów of the Downtown district. It is dedicated to Szmul Zygielbojm, a 20th-century politician and activist of the General Jewish Labour Bund, whom, while a member of the National Council of Poland in London, has committed a suicide in 1943, as a protest against Allied innaction towards the Holocaust. The monument was designed by Marek Moderau, and unveiled on 22 June 1997. It consists of two sculptures, a short block of a lightgray granite broken into several cracked pieces on the pavement, and a syenite wall featuring human silhouettes and flames.
