This plaque stands in memory of Jan Stanisław Jankowski, also known by his nom de guerre “Soból.” Known for his tireless work as a political leader, he was a key figure in the Polish resistance during World War II. He was a Minister of Labour and Social Welfare during the interwar period and eventually became the Government Delegate at Home, a position he held during the Nazi occupation. During World War II, he was appointed as the Director of Labor and Social Care in the Government Delegate’s Office. He was a prominent figure in Polish politics and was one of the founders of the National Workers’ Union. He played a crucial role in establishing the Polish Secret State and served as the Government Delegate at Home, a position he assumed after Jan Piekałkiewicz was arrested in 1943. “Soból” became a key figure in the Polish underground state. He eventually became the Deputy Prime Minister of Poland and authorized the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. He organized and coordinated resistance activities and provided support to the Polish people during the Nazi occupation. Ultimately however, he was arrested by the NKVD in 1945, charged with collaborating with Germany, and sentenced to 8 years in a Soviet prison. He died in prison in 1953, two weeks before his sentence was due to expire. The circumstances of his death are unclear, but he was probably killed by the Soviets. He was posthumously awarded the Order of the White Eagle for his dedication to Poland and its people.
