Monument to Victims of The Flood.
This is a tribute to the thousands of anonymous heroes who sprang to Wroclaw's rescue during the great flood of 1997. Erected in 1998 the three metre structure depicts a nameless woman wading out of the water carrying books, mimicking scenes that took place in 1997 when local students joined efforts to save priceless artifacts hidden in the University Library.
