English: Memorial marker to Ignacy Jan Paderewski inside the USS Maine Mast Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia, in the United States.
Paderewski was a Polish pianist and composer who became the second Foreign Minister of the Second Republic of Poland, and the second Prime Minister of the Second Republic of Poland. He fled Poland after the invasion by Nazi Germany in 1939, and at the age of 88 became the head of the Polish National Council (the Polish parliament in exile) in London in 1940. While on tour in the United States, Paderewski fell ill on June 27, 1941. He died of pneumonia in New York City two days later. His remains were temporary interred within the USS Maine Mast Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, D.C. After the fall of communism, his body was brought to Warsaw in 1992 and permanently laid to rest in St. John's Archcathedral. Two markers remain at Arlington National Cemetery marking the temporary repose of Paderewski's body. One is outside the memorial, near the stairs leading up to the memorial plaza. The other is inside the memorial, where his remains once lay. |
