Warsaw Uprising veteran deaths

Entities: Warsaw Uprising · Battalion Kiliński · Nie zapomnij o nas · Józefa Marciniak · Zalesiu Górny

Overview

In late June 2026 the death of Irena Paśnik, a 100‑year‑old former sanitariik and messenger for the Baszta battalion during the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, was announced by Warsaw’s mayor. Paśnik had spent decades preserving the uprising’s memory through interviews and archival work.

Less than a month later, in late July 2026, Józefa Marciniak, aged 104, was reported deceased. Marciniak had served as a medic and liaison for the Kiliński Battalion in the uprising, later continued underground work with the Home Army’s foreign communications unit, and authored books documenting the conflict. Both obituaries highlight the passing of the last centenarian participants of the Warsaw Uprising and underline ongoing efforts to remember the 1944 struggle.
