The monument stands on the grave of twelve Jewish fighters who hid in the woods of Wyszków after the collapse of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising . There they joined the group of Adam Szwarcfus - "Janek", which belonged to the Mordechaj-Anielewicz department of the Gwardia Ludowa ("People's Guard"). In August 1943 they disrupted German rail traffic at Urle. After the successful operation, they withdrew to Kracowizna: There they were surrounded by a German squad who had been informed by the local forester. Only two of the insurgents survived the subsequent firefight.
The forester was sentenced to death for his deed after the war . Other groups in the Anielewicz department were murdered in 1943 and 1944, among others by the departments of the National Armed Forces ( Narodowe Siły Zbrojne ).
