Meetings with city residents and school students

As a result of participation in the Academy of Remembrance Guardians, we have prepared our original project to familiarize the local community with the figures of the Righteous Among the Nations, Stefania and Józef Wacławik. The story of their rescue of a Holocaust survivor, Maurycy / Mosze Jered, was told in a presentation which starting point was the life and death of Jews from Mszana. We presented the project in 2 schools: primary school and high school, and in a meeting with the city's residents held on November 22, 2021 in the Conference Room of the City Hall. This meeting received the patronage of Mayor Anna Pękała, and the vice-mayor, Michał Grzeszczuk, was present. In total, over 250 people (mostly youngsters) took part in our events. The presentations were accompanied by tasting of challah and humus, participants received information folders, notebooks and ecological bags. The atmosphere at the meetings was very nice, the participants were active and interested in the subject, and the feedback proves that the meetings echoed widely in the local community.
